Dr. Sherling Theresa Lauricella, 81, a retired pediatrician, died at her home 
near Aspen, Colo., on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010, after a courageous battle with 
pancreatic cancer.

A memorial service is being planned for the end of the year.

She is survived by her brother Francis E. "Hank" Lauricella, former State 
Senator from Jefferson Parish, and his wife, Betty V. Lauricella; and their 
children, Francis E. Lauricella Jr. (Mary) of San Francisco, Louis V. Lauricella 
(Connie Jo) of New Orleans, Elizabeth Lauricella McStravick (Peter) of Houston, 
Marc A. Lauricella (Kyle) of Wilton, Conn., and J. Christopher Lauricella 
(Ellen) of Los Angeles; one niece, Sandra Lauricella Anzelmo (Thomas) of 
Harahan; one nephew, John L. Lauricella III of Baton Rouge; many great nieces 
and great nephews; and her devoted, longtime friend, Muriel Frei of Aspen, Colo.

The family extends its heartfelt thanks to Muriel for her constant care and 
compassion during Sherling's lengthy illness.

She was preceded in death by her parents John L. Lauricella and Theresa Sherling 
Lauricella; her brother, John L. Lauricella Jr.; her sister-in-law, Lula Crochet 
Lauricella; and one niece, Mary Sherling Lauricella.

Sherling was born in New Orleans on July 30, 1929, and raised in Harahan. She 
was educated in New Orleans, graduating from Dominican High School and Dominican 
College, where she was known as "Peewee" due to her diminutive size. She 
graduated from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in 1954 and 
completed her medical training at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1956.

In the late 1950s, with her colleague Dr. Patsy R. Phelps, Dr. Lauricella 
established the Children's Clinic, on the banks of Bayou Lafourche in Raceland, 
Louisiana. She was a gifted, tireless pediatrician, who dedicated her career to 
serving the children of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes. She practiced 
pediatrics at the Children's Clinic until the mid-1980s, when she retired and 
moved to Aspen.

Beyond her medical practice, Sherling had many diverse interests and talents. 
She was a feisty intellectual, who read voraciously. A woman of deeply felt 
convictions, she was always happy to offer her thoughts on any number of topics. 
Sherling was a devoted balletomane, operagoer, and connoisseur of art house 
films. For many years, she made annual trips to New York City to watch 
performances of the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, and the Royal 
Ballet. She also traveled extensively throughout Europe, particularly to Italy, 
France and Switzerland. She was an exquisite home cook, having learned initially 
from her Italian-American aunts and later from the cookbooks of Julia Child and 
Miriam Guidroz, who was a close friend from the Bayou.

Sherling also had a profound, lifelong love of the outdoors. As a young woman, 
she was an avid sport fisherman at Grand Isle. During her early years along 
Bayou Lafourche, she became an accomplished duck hunter and assembled a 
marvelous collection of rare duck decoys. During the late 1960s, she shifted her 
focus to the Rocky Mountains, where she became an ardent hiker and skier, both 
Alpine and cross country. In the late 1980s, she built a cabin in the Snowmass 
Creek Valley, outside of Aspen, where she lived happily and looked after her 
garden.

Above all, Sherling was devoted to the education of her nieces and nephews, and 
more recently of her many great nieces and great nephews. She was affectionately 
known as "Auntie" and had a huge impact on all of their lives. She introduced 
them to the arts and frequently took them to the ballet, museums, and the movies 
when they were young. She taught them to cook and to ski, and she traveled with 
them, both domestically and abroad. She regularly sent them books. But most 
importantly, she piqued their intellectual curiosity by constantly asking them 
probing questions and then challenging their answers.

Her mind remained razor sharp until the very end. She spent her final few years 
puttering around her kitchen and garden and reading in bed, surrounded by a pile 
of books and New Yorkers, which she read at a feverish pace. She continued to 
delight in arguing over the phone about something that she had recently read.

Special thanks are also given to Dr. David Borchers, Dr. Douglas Rovira and his 
team at the Aspen Valley Hospital, and Hospice of the Valley for their 
extraordinary care of Sherling.

In lieu of flowers, please send contributions either to St. Joseph Indian 
School, 1301 North Main Street, Chamberlain, South Dakota 57325 ( www.stjo.org) 
or to Hospice of the Valley, P.O. Box 3768, Basalt, CO 81621.

Stephen Daigle and wife, Faye, Kathy Picou and husband, Ronney, Sue Vestal and 
husband, Russell, John Daigle and wife, Cherie, Judy Fucich and husband, Mark,

Virginia Daigle died in her home of natural causes with her devoted husband of 
57 years by her side. As a devout Catholic, she donated every Monday for 34 
years to Masion De Ville as a volunteer in the hair salon. She befriended and 
loved "her little old ladies." She was a member of St. Francis Altar Society for 
10 years where she lovingly cared for the purificators of the church. Part of 
her routine (on her calendar) was attending weekly adoration at St. Francis de 
Sales' Chapel. Virginia's love for plants, passed down from her father was big 
part of her life. She came to love her orchids and grew as many as 400 at one 
time at the family home on Sherman Street. Her new love became her small brick 
house on June Drive where her hobby was scaled down to 40 plants that she 
tenderly cared for. The constant in Virginia's life was her family. There is not 
a prouder mom that loved her children more. She reveled in their lives as well 
as their accomplishments. It was a well known tradition for her to prepare 
breakfast every Sunday morning after 8 a.m. mass for family and friends. This 
tradition has given her children and grandchildren treasured memories that will 
last a life time. Her dedication and daily prayers instilled a life long 
commitment to our family unity.

Loulan Joseph Pitre Sr., 89, a lifelong resident of Cut Off, on Sunday, Oct. 17, 
2010, finally stopped debating every subject imaginable with anyone lucky enough 
to encounter him.

Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday at Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church, 15300 West Main St. (La. 1) in Cut Off. Mass will be held at noon 
Thursday at the church, with interment immediately following.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 65 years, Emelia Chabert Pitre; four sons, 
Dr. Holland Pitre and wife, Melanie, Dr. Wayne Pitre and wife, Marie, Glen Pitre 
and wife, Michelle Benoit, and former state representative Loulan Pitre Jr., 
J.D., and wife, Tiffany Peperone; five grandchildren, Gannon, Laura, Jason, 
Emilie and Mathieu; two great-grandchildren, Nicholas and Audrey; and one 
sister, Vesta Pitre Suer.

Pitre was born March 2, 1921, the son of David C. Pitre of Cheniere Caminada and 
Evilide "Bee" Bruce of Cut Off. He left school in the ninth grade because his 
family could not afford to buy him shoes, and began working on the family oyster 
lugger, the Baltimore. As a youth his nickname was "Scrap," reflecting two 
lifelong affinities: collecting junk and lively contrariness.

Pitre enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 and rose to the rank of staff 
sergeant. Serving aboard the battleship Idaho, Pitre fought in the Aleutians, 
the Marshalls, the Marianas, Guam, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Ulithi and 
Okinawa, where he survived a kamikaze attack. On Sept. 2, 1945, he witnessed the 
Japanese surrender ceremonies from the deck of his ship in Tokyo Bay.

After the war, Pitre returned to his hometown, married his sweetheart and built 
them a house with his own hands. In between his career as rig-builder, 
commercial fisherman and captain of virtually every boat type in the Louisiana 
oilfields, Pitre was an avid hunter, gardener, beekeeper and reader. He would 
serve as commander of the Gros-Guidry VFW Post and leader of Boy Scout Troop 
390. He ran for several offices, each time explaining his loss as "obviously the 
public is saving me for something higher." Indeed.

Renowned as a storyteller, Pitre's tales were featured in various books, films 
and stage performances, including at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, and attracted 
the attention of world-famous documentary filmmaker Richard Leacock and 
legendary anthropologist Allan Lomax. Pitre also occasionally worked as a movie 
actor, including give and take scenes with Oscar winners Robert Duvall and Tommy 
Lee Jones, and was best known internationally for his role as the Sheriff in 
Belizaire the Cajun, directed by his son. He had been featured in numerous 
newspapers and magazines, including, just weeks before his death, being quoted 
on the front page of the New York Times.

Pitre died peacefully at his son's home surrounded by family.

Maintaining his well-known sense of humor till the end, his near-to-last words 
were, "I see the Reaper circling; I keep trying to wave him off, but he just 
won't listen."

In lieu of flowers, you may send a donation to the Regional Military Museum, 
P.O. Box 10247, Houma, LA 70363.

Visitation will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. today at Chauvin Funeral Home, and from 
10 a.m. to funeral time Monday at the home. Funeral service will be 11 a.m.

He is survived by his wife, Carol M. Petrie of Houma; one daughter, Sherry Allen 
and husband, Gary, of Metairie; three sons, Eric Petrie of Houma, Kurt Petrie 
and wife, Lori, of Opelousas, and Jon Petrie and wife, Pennie, of Mandeville;

Olivier, Kyle Allen, Krista Allen, Blake Allen, Derick Petrie, Sarah Petrie, 
Miranda Petrie and Sean Petrie.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Earl J. Petrie.

Warren was born and raised in New Orleans as the middle child of Leonie and 
Louis Petrie. He grew up in a loving family that enjoyed hunting and fishing. 
Beginning his world travels as a young man in the Merchant Marine Corps during 
World War II, Warren traveled around the world cultivating long-lasting 
friendships. Sharing his travels with family and friends was one of his special 
treats when he returned from his expeditions.

While raising four children, Warren worked for companies such as the American 
Standard Oil Corp. and J. Ray McDermott in New Orleans, Morgan City and 
internationally. As an innovative thinker, he developed new techniques and new 
equipment. He received many patents for his designs and ideas. Upon retirement, 
he and the love of his life decided to move nearer to his favorite "fishing 
hole" in Houma. He enjoyed fishing in the Houma area with his children, 
grandchildren and his friend, Bucky.

He took great comfort in having his family around him whenever possible. 
Children and grandchildren often brought their challenging school projects to 
Warren to get his advice and assistance. Giving tirelessly of his time and 
talents, Warren helped many community groups and schools. Constant companions of 
Warren were his dogs, and in particular, "Bubba," who never left his side as his 
health deteriorated.

Following his family's footsteps, Warren was a Mason. As a 50-plus-year member 
of the Kosmos Lodge, he served as past-master, achieving the level of 3rd Degree 
in the lodge. He was a member of the Unity Lodge in Houma.

He was a loving husband, devoted father and grandfather. After visiting with his 
many friends and family, Warren made his "final trip." He will be greatly missed 
by all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, make donations to Shriners Hospital for Children, 2900 Rocky 
Point Drive, Tampa, Fla.
