Gwen Orgeron Henry of Thibodaux, passed away on Tuesday, May 1, 2012. She was a 
loving mother, a proud grandmother and a devoted friend.

A memorial visitation will be from 8 a.m. to funeral time Saturday at St. 
Joseph Co-Cathedral in Thibodaux. A memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. 
Saturday at the church, with 
burial held at a later date.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Tiffany Galliano Papa; son-in-law, 
Randy James Papa; cherished granddaughter, Demi Marie Papa; step-granddaughter, 
Skyler Papa; additionally her brother, Randy Tingstrom, Denise Tingstrom; her 
niece and nephew, Jessica and Daniel Tingstrom; as well as scores of loving 
friends.

Gwen was preceded in death by her father, Hugh Tingstrom; and her mother, 
Elfreida Moulliet Tingstrom.

Gwen was born in New Orleans, where she graduated from Berman High School. She 
was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Thibodaux. It is most fitting 
that she enters into the kingdom of God during the month of May as her devotion 
to the Virgin Mary and her faith in God were central to her life.

Gwen always made others feel comfortable with her warm smile and her melodic 
laughter. She was a self-reflective woman and an eloquent writer. She always 
took the time to share her personal thoughts and discoveries with her daughter, 
son-in-law, granddaughters, and friends through e-mails and letters. These 
mementos of her life are now cherished treasures.

Whether they were eating out a Flanagan's or sitting spellbound at a Celine 
Dion concert, Gwen relished the time spent with Tiffany and was quick to tell 
others of the great love and pride she held in her heart for her beloved 
daughter. During Demi's formative years, Demi and Gwen spent countless hours 
together after school and bonding during weekend sleepovers. Gwen took great 
joy in shaping Demi into the beautiful young woman that she is today and 
enjoyed spending time with Skyler as well. Gwen found it very easy to relate to 
her son-in-law, Randy with whom she had a very close relationship. Gwen loved 
Randy and embraced him as her own son.

Gwen was blessed with many rich friendships but it was her closest group of 
friends who brought her the greatest comfort and joy throughout the journey of 
life. These women made an indelible imprint upon each other and shared in all 
of life's little miracles. Gwen graced this earth with her beautiful spirit. 
She will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.

"I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe."
The Prayer by Celine Dion

In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to St. Thomas Aquinas Church, NSU 
Box 2051, Thibodaux, LA or St. Joseph Church, Thibodaux, LA.

JOAN FREDERICKSON

Our dear mother, Joan Munson Frederickson, made her 94th birthday then chose to 
pass on to be with her Lord and her husband, Jack, on Friday evening, May 4, 
2012.

A funeral service will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Christ Church in 
Napoleonville, with her nephew Rev. John Munson officiating. A reception will 
follow in the Parish Hall.

She passed on in her sleep, lying just a few hundred yards from the house where 
she was born in the fields where she played and rode her horse, on her family's 
plantation, Glenwood of Napoleonville. Joan always pronounced her name as her 
parents had, in two syllables, "Jo-wen", and she was the sister of the three 
other children of Edward P. and Gertrude Munson of Napoleonville: Edward, 
Trudy, and Amelia, all of whom predeceased her.

Joan and her husband, the late John Henry Frederickson Jr. had three children, 
Myra (1940), Marguerite (1943) and Christopher (1945) each of whom has one 
daughter, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Isabel, respectively.

Besides being a devoted and caring wife and mother, Joan was active in the 
Episcopal Church (St. Paul's, Oklahoma City) and the Junior League. She also 
started a pre-school/grade- school which later was taken over by the Episcopal 
Diocese of Oklahoma. In her 70's, Joan returned to the writing of novels in 
which she had indulged as a girl, publishing her first book, "Down in Cajun 
Country", at age 77 in 1995.
