Margaret Dean "Peggy Dean" St. Martin, passed away Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, 
following a brief illness.

Funeral services celebrating Peggy Dean's life were held at the First 
Presbyterian Church in Shreveport on Feb. 4 with the Rev. Pendleton Perry, the 
Rev. Bryan McDowell and Father Murray Clayton officiating. Interment followed at 
Forest Park Cemetery.

Peggy Dean was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Tullos, 
Sr.; and her brother, Andrew J. Tullos, Jr. 

She is survived by her loving husband of nearly 65 years, Eugene C. St. Martin, 
M.D.; one son, Eugene C. St. Martin Jr.; two daughters, Charlean Faye St. Martin 
Dickson and Celeste St. Martin Wedgeworth and husband, Lang Wedgeworth; two 
grandchildren, Alexis Wedgeworth and Langford Wedgeworth and his wife, Kim; her 
sister-in-law, Lola May Tullos; and many nieces and nephews.

Peggy Dean grew up in the old Washington Youree Hotel, which her father managed. 
She had many wonderful memories from that grand hotel in downtown Shreveport. 
Peggy Dean graduated from C.E. Byrd High School in 1941 and H. Sophie Newcomb 
Memorial College in 1945, where she first met Gene who was in his internship at 
Charity Hospital in New Orleans. Peggy Dean served in various capacities in 
numerous organizations including as president of the Girl Scouts Pelican 
Council, President of the Chi Omega Sorority Alumni and in different positions 
with the Junior League of Shreveport, which awarded her the "Sustainer of the 
Year" award in 2001. Peggy Dean treasured her life long membership in the 
"Birthday Club", a group of women that has been meeting since graduating 
together from C.E. Byrd H.S.

Other than her family, Peggy Dean's second full time job was being the 
consummate physician's wife, always taking late night calls at home from Gene's 
patients with courtesy and compassion regardless of the hour. Gene's patients 
loved Peggy Dean as much as him. Peggy Dean was also food editor of Louisiana 
Life for eleven years. Her hobbies were cooking, bridge and travel.

Although Peggy Dean and Gene resided in Shreveport for over 60 years, they 
traveled frequently to Houma, so that he could maintain his Cajun accent and 
where she made many beloved friends. In later years, they maintained a second 
residence at Gene's family home in Houma where she played bridge with her set of 
South Louisiana friends while Gene hunted and fished with his nephews, cousins 
and old friends.

Peggy Dean lived life through her own unique prism that often brought surprises, 
but always joy to all those around her. From childhood birthday parties on the 
roof garden at the Washington Youree Hotel to L.S.U. football parties in Baton 
Rouge to her grandson's wedding reception just a month ago, Peggy Dean never 
knew a party she did not enjoy, a song she could not dance to or a conversation 
she did not want to join in. Her zest for living, and her ability to imbue that 
love of life to others, was a distant second to her constant service to others. 
Peggy Dean always put others first, whether helping her children and their 
childhood friends in Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts or Gene in the countless last 
minute parties he arranged; whether standing by friends through the loss of a 
parent or playing match maker for a friend who lost a spouse; or whether being 
the constant go-to Chi Omega alumni or the best Presbyterian-Catholic, assisting 
the nuns at St. Joseph's School in teaching catechism. Peggy Dean always gave of 
herself first. She will be missed by all she touched.

Honoring Peggy Dean as pallbearers will be her nephews, Paul St. Martin, Michael 
St. Martin, Louis St. Martin, Dr. William St. Martin, Roy St. Martin, Bernard 
St. Martin, Marshall Tullos and John Tullos. Honorary pallbearers will be Dr. 
William Allums, Dr. Mark Callaway, Dr. Claude Pasquier, Dr. Bill Vildebill, 
Leland McCullough, Dr. Jack Berry and Bert Marmande.

The family expresses their appreciation to the sixth floor nursing staff at 
Christus Schumpert and to Drs. Alan Borne, Sanders Hearne and Robert Holladay. 
The family extends special thanks and love to Lillie Gates for all of the years 
of companionship and assistance to Peggy Dean. The family requests that 
memorials be made to the First Presbyterian Church or a charity of the donor's 
choice.

Osborn Funeral Home of Shreveport was in charge of arrangements.
