A New Orleans man and his wife, both 78, died 20 minutes apart
Thursday morning of heart attacks.

Our Lord Catholic Church.

in the Army Air Corps during World War II in the Pacific.

Mrs. Peters was a member of the Altar Society, Catholic
Daughters and Life & Lively of Resurrection Church.

They are survived by a son, Damian A. Peters, and a grandson.

Mr. Peters also is survived by four brothers, Murray, Glen,
Melvin and Joe Peters.

Mrs. Peters also is survived by three sisters, Angeline Leone,
