Rebecca "Becky" Whitney Kreller, 55, passed away at 12:22 p.m. Wednesday, June

battle with pancreatic cancer.

Visitation will be from 6 to 9 p.m. today at Chauvin Funeral Home and from 9 
a.m. to funeral time Monday at Annunziata Catholic Church. Mass will be 11 a.m. 
Monday at the church, with burial in St. Francis de Sales Cemetery No. 2.

Becky was married to Mike James Kreller from New Orleans for 34 years. She was 
mother to Mike Kreller II and daughter-in-law, Nekki Dupre Kreller, Jennifer 
Kreller and friend, Beth Guidry. She was also grandmother -"Grammie" to Jillian 
ReneŽ Kreller.

She is survived by her mother, Rose Mary Songe Whitney; three brothers, James 
Whitney Jr. and wife, Mona, John Whitney and fianceŽ, Kathie Bunten, and Jeff 
Whitney and wife, Lisa; one sister, Beth Whitney Hebert and husband, Mark, all

grandparents, Willis J. Songe and Margaret Boquet Songe; her father-in-law, 
James Harvey Kreller; and one nephew, Jeremy Alan Whitney.

Becky was such an active member of Annunziata Catholic Church. Although she wore 
many different hats at Annunziata, her passion was working with young people 
through youth ministry. She served as a youth minister for 16 years and nine of 
those years were as Director of Youth Ministry at Annunziata Catholic Church. 
Becky's generous heart, giving spirit, and her joy have influenced countless 
young people. 

Becky was a Mary Kay beauty consultant for 30 years. Becky loved life and it was 
truly evident by the way she lived her life and in the way she cared for others. 
She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Chauvin Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
