Sarah Lou Muse Cvitanovich

June 16, 1937 — May 15, 2025

On May 15, 2025, Sarah Lou Muse Cvitanovich was called home to be with her Lord and Savior, passing peacefully in the comfort of her home in Biloxi, MS, at the age of 87.

Born on June 16, 1937, in Bradford, Arkansas, Sarah lived a life dedicated to serving others and walking in God’s light. A devoted mother, grandmother and friend, she found her greatest joy in caring for her family.

Sarah worked for many years as a beautician at her own salon, Howard Avenue Beauty Shop. After retiring from the salon, she became a bookkeeper at Mary Mahoney's to work along side her husband Andrew. Sarah's true vocation was that of a nurturer and homemaker. She was a living example of Proverbs 31 — a woman of strength, dignity, and deep compassion.

Sarah is preceded in death by her beloved parents, Violet and Thomas Muse; all of her siblings; her first husband, Willis Gautreaux; her late husband, Andrew Cvitanovich and her great-great-granddaughter, Julietta Gautreaux.

She is survived by her two sons, James Paul Gautreaux and Willis Eugene Gautreaux; her grandchildren, Jay Gautreaux, Teresa Still, Jeanine Caston, Rochelle Allen, Jennifer Gautreaux, and Brooke Gautreaux; 12 beloved great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. Each of them carries forward her legacy of faith, love, and service.

Sarah’s life was a testimony to the power of prayer, unconditional love, and strength. Her faith never wavered, and her spirit reflected the peace of someone who trusted fully in God’s plan.

Though she will be deeply missed, we rejoice in knowing she is now reunited with loved ones in Heaven and resting in eternal peace.
