The community mourns the sudden and tragic loss of Michelle Ghent Seaton, who passed away unexpectedly in a car accident on May 27, 2025. Michelle leaves behind her devoted husband of nearly ten years, Trey Seaton, and their three beautiful daughters: Brynn, aged 13, Dorothy, 9, and Estelle, 8.
Her passing has left a profound void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her vibrant spirit. Michelle was a shining light—a vibrant, larger-than-life woman whose energy and warmth touched everyone she encountered.
Known for her unstoppable work ethic and fierce devotion to her family, Michelle balanced her career as a self-employed sales representative for Bomb Party and LUS Fiber while making her family the center of her universe.
Her self-employment offered flexibility that allowed her to care for her daughters and husband in a way she deeply desired, embracing motherhood with a full heart. However, this path also meant that the financial safety nets like company life insurance were not in place, which has added a layer of difficulty for her family during this heartbreaking time.
Despite this challenging reality, the outpouring of love and support from the community has been overwhelming. Friends, family, and even those who knew Michelle only briefly have rallied together to offer comfort and assistance.
A GoFundMe and other fundraising efforts have been established to help provide financial security for Trey and their daughters, recognizing the urgent need to support them through this unimaginable loss.
The family and those close to them emphasize that while financial gifts are deeply appreciated, the power of thoughts, prayers, and positive energy also means the world during this time of grief.
Michelle’s commitment to her family was unwavering. She was more than just a mother and wife—she was a fierce protector, a guiding light, and a source of strength and love. Her daughters will forever carry the lessons she taught them, the laughter they shared, and the love that surrounded their home.
Michelle’s legacy as a loving mother and partner is evident in the way those who knew her describe her: compassionate, generous, and full of life. In celebration of Michelle’s remarkable life, her family invites the community to gather on Tuesday, June 3rd, at 5 PM at Rip Van Winkle Gardens, located at 5505 Rip Van Winkle Road, New Iberia, Louisiana.
This celebration of life will be a joyous occasion to remember Michelle as she was—bold, beautiful, and full of color. Attendees are encouraged to honor her memory by wearing bright and vibrant clothing, reflecting the immense impact she had on everyone’s lives. It will be a time to share stories, laugh, cry, and support one another as they remember a woman who lived life fully and loved deeply.
Michelle’s story is one of dedication, courage, and boundless love. Her spirit lives on in the hearts of her husband and daughters, in the memories shared by friends and family, and in the community she touched with her kindness and vibrant presence. While her physical presence will be sorely missed, her legacy will continue to inspire those who were blessed to know her.
During this difficult time, the family asks for privacy as they navigate their grief but welcomes the support of those who wish to contribute in any way. Whether through financial assistance, a kind word, or a prayer, every gesture helps provide comfort and strength.
Michelle Ghent Seaton’s life was a testament to the power of love and resilience. Her family, friends, and community will forever cherish her memory, holding tight to the light she brought into their lives.
