Sidney "BaeBae" Paul Bourgeois, 87, a native of Raceland and a long-time 
resident of Orleans and St. Bernard parishes, entered into eternal rest on 
Sunday, Aug. 1, 2010.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation from 10 a.m. to funeral 
time Thursday at St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home, 701 W. Virtue St. in 
Chalmette. A Funeral Mass will be held at noon Thursday at the funeral home, 
with burial in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens.

He is survived by his best friend and beloved wife of 65 years, Angelina 
Colombo; two children, Brenda Schouest and husband, Craig, and Judy Mangiapane 
and husband, Frank; proud grandfather of Kimberly DeRouen and husband, Michael, 
Kadee Burkhardt and husband, Justin, Jill Organo and husband, Troy, and Hope 
Mangiapane; great-grandfather of his namesake little princess, Sydney, and 
princes, Nicco and Giovanni; and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, 
cousins and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Villery Bourgeois and Maggie Daigle;

He was a veteran of the U.S. Army who proudly served his country during World

grandfather and brother who loved his country and treasured his family.
