Lafayette, LA - Carolyn Murtagh, 90, passed away on Friday, June 13, 2025, after a very brief illness to rejoin her husband Jimmy on their 66th wedding anniversary. She was surrounded by her six children. Carolyn was born in Kingsville, Texas, on April 24, 1935, and raised in Port Allen, Louisiana. She proudly supported her husband through medical school and his time in the Air Force. After her first stint as a military wife, Carolyn settled with Jimmy in Morgan City to raise their six children. Her greatest vocations were wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was happiest when family and friends gathered together filled with love and laughter. Sunday dinner of roast, rice and gravy was a family standard ritual. She will be most remembered for her devout faith and devotion to family, her smile and contagious laugh. Just one short month before her passing, Carolyn was still living an active, independent life in Baton Rouge watching the LSU Tigers make their way to the College World Series. She is survived by loving children Nannette (Johnny Morgan), Yvette, Tobin (Michelle Arcidiacono), Bobette (Joel Robideaux), Albin (Kristi) and Mynette (Jimmy Mann); grandchildren, Zachary Morgan, Christian Roubique, Sydney Torres, Symone Goodman (Garret), Thomas Torres, Lauren Arcidiacono, Anthony Arcidiacono, Dylan (Rachael) Robideaux, Brennan (Corinne) Robideaux, Luke (Katelyn) Robideaux, Mason Murtagh and Elouise Randall; five great-grandchildren and one on the way. Carolyn is preceded in death by her loving husband, James "Jimmy" Murtagh, MD, and her parents, Carroll "Shorty" Carrow and Alma Sikes Carrow. The family gives special thanks to Heart of Hospice Lafayette and loving caregivers Lacey Meyers and Crystal Richard. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Holy Family Church in Port Allen, Sacred Heart Church in Baton Rouge, St. Jude Children's Hospital or a charity of your choice. A celebration of her life will be on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brusly. The family will welcome friends from 8 to 10 a.m. followed by Mass of Christian Burial celebrated by Rev. Jerry Martin and entombment in the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Mausoleum.
