Stephanie Ann Benoit Trahan, age 55, passed away peacefully in her home in Carlyss on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021 surrounded by her loving family. Stephanie Ann Benoit Trahan was born Aug. 6, 1966 in Jennings, La. 

Stephanie worked in medical records at West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital for over 11 years before becoming a full time homemaker.
