Hilda Charlot

It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Hilda Charlot, a beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. Hilda left this world on October 26, 2026, at the age of 85, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and vibrant memories. Born on June 8, 1941, in Cankton, Louisiana, Hilda was the cherished daughter of Valmond and Indiania Chavis. She grew up surrounded by the rich cultural traditions of Louisiana, which instilled in her a lifelong love for zydeco music, blues, and R&B. These rhythms not only colored her childhood but also became a joyful part of her life, bringing her immense happiness and countless cherished moments. Hilda was predeceased by her parents, Valmond and Indiania Chavis, as well as her siblings Roosevelt, Anthony, and Wilfred Chavis, Martin Chevis, and her sister Rita Walker. She was also preceded in death by her belated ex-husband, Eugene Charlot. Hilda's loving spirit and nurturing heart live on in her surviving family. She is deeply mourned by her siblings, Raymond (Betty) Chavis of Church Point, Louisiana, Hilton Chevis of Lafayette, Louisiana, and Wilda Breaux of Church Point, Louisiana. Her sister, Dolores Robertson, resides in Houston, Texas, and shares this loss with a heavy heart. She leaves behind a treasured legacy in her children and extended family, including Nedra, Eric (Rhonda), Traf, Derrick, all of Houston, Texas, Joseph (Nicholle) Chevis of Houston, Texas, and Derwin and Kendric Shelby. Her family also includes Jarric Kelley, Charmayne Brown, Raiven, Braelon and Devonte Charlot, Leon Weems, Derwin (DJ), Sa'Nyah, and Kirstyn Shelby, Jarric Kelley (J2), and a host of cherished family and friends. Hilda was blessed with eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored and who brought her immense pride and joy. Her legacy of kindness, resilience, and love will continue to guide and inspire them. A celebration of Hilda's life will be held on November 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, located at 6005 N Wayside Dr, Houston, TX 77028. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Hilda are invited to attend and honor her memory. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Hilda's memory, as a testament to her compassionate spirit and generous heart. Hilda Charlot’s life was a testament to the power of love, family, and community. Her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
