000052	Barron - Carolyn Barron, 71, passed away on March 22, 2006, after a courageous,
11-year battle with cancer. She approached death in the same manner she lived her life:
with grace, with dignity and with incomparable strength. She was born Carolyn Faye
Adams on August 23, 1934, in Sikes, and grew up in a warm and welcoming home surrounded
by friends and family. Within five minutes of meeting her, it was apparent that Carolyn
was a genuine, solid, down-to-earth person. Even at a young age, Carolyn was a quiet,
traditional person who lived her faith every day of her life. She went to Sikes High
School where she was involved in everything the little school had to offer. She was
especially proud of her athleticism. A half-court guard on the basketball team, she
played all four years despite friendly remarks that she was 'too pretty to be good at
sports too.' In her spare time, Carolyn sang in choirs, where the other girls in her
section crowded around her to keep themselves on pitch, and played piano for church and
friends, a talent she inherited from her mother. She especially loved to take Baptist
hymnals and jazz them up by giving them a different beat or changing the key. After
graduating high school, Carolyn went to Northwestern State University, where she
excelled in student teaching and received her degree in elementary education, followed
by her master's in education. Peers say she was a natural from the start, often adopted
by her teachers as a favorite who could take on extra responsibility. She had endless
ideas for mediating classroom situations and fellow teachers came to her for advice.
Thus began Carolyn's lifelong dedication to teaching. She taught in Junction City,
Kan., Baton Rouge and Natchitoches and was a faculty member at NSU. Peers recall that
Carolyn's students, mostly first and second graders, graduated with far more than
academic skills. She helped them learn responsibility for themselves. She helped them
prepare for life. It was also during her time at Northwestern that Carolyn was
introduced to the love of her life: Dr. Bennie G. Barron. He instantly fell in love
with the sassy redhead with the unencumbered zest for life. They married in June 1957
and had two daughters, Chari and Allison. From the moment their children were born, the
lives of all the Barrons were braided together. When something piqued one person's
interest, it became a family venture. Everything was planned around the children and,
later, the grandchildren. Several close friends say they modeled their own families
after the Barrons. As Carolyn's children grew up, the relationship between mother and
daughters began to evolve. Not only was Carolyn a mother and role model, she became her
daughters' confidant, their friend. This friendship also extended to her sons-in-law,
with whom she shared a close bond. Friends were another priority in her life and
Carolyn was fiercely loyal in her relationships. Once she was your friend, she was
always your friend. Even when a loved one moved away, Carolyn had a way of knowing just
when she was needed. Friends say she always called at just the right times and knew
just the right things to say. She was a connoisseur of good jokes and her vibrant
laughter was a joy to hear. No matter where she was, Carolyn found ways to touch
people's lives. In a room crowded with people, Carolyn had a knack for making everyone
feel special and important. Her inherent magnetism drew people to her, whether they
were feeling down and needed encouragement or just wanted to be enveloped by her loving
embrace. Carolyn was also a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood in Natchitoches. Traveling
is a family tradition and Carolyn was always a part of the 'going and the doing,'
planning the next adventure. Even as her health deteriorated, she was in the middle of
it all, though sometimes relegated to a wheelchair. Many times, the rest of the group
would be huffing and puffing to catch up with this indomitable woman. If Carolyn had a
motto, it surely would have been, 'Let's go!' She was always somebody going somewhere,
someone who would take you along. Through problems, through thick and thin, she was
always ready to go -- to the beach, to the races, to the slopes, out shopping, even if
she was en route to a painful treatment. Part of Carolyn's legacy is how she dealt with
her illness. Despite the pain, discomfort and treatments, she never let her illness
hamper her life. She did the things she wanted to do. Friends say that when they were
with her, they could almost forget she was sick because she was so careful to disguise
her pain. Her philosophy, even in her last weeks was, 'I'm in a situation where I feel
bad all the time, so I can feel bad alone in bed or I can be with my friends. And I
would rather be with my friends.' Near the end, one friend revealed, 'She was too
pretty and sane to be one of those characters in 'Steel Magnolias.' But the thing is,
she was a steel magnolia. She was the epitome of a Southern lady. She just wouldn't
give up.' Carolyn is an inspiration for her family, for her friends and for dozens of
other cancer patients. Here was a woman who met her challenges fearlessly and with
determination. Here was a woman who lived her life to the fullest. Here was a woman who
had cancer, but never let cancer have her. Carolyn Adams Barron was preceded in death
by her parents, Myra and Marshall Adams of Winnfield. She leaves behind her husband,
Dr. Bennie G. Barron; two daughters and two sons-in-law, Chari and Kenny Vairin of
Mandeville and Allison and Byron Nihart of Mandeville; and a sister, Van DeVall of
Winnfield. 'Linny' also leaves behind three grandchildren: Taylor Vairin, Marshall
Vairin and Caroline Nihart, all of Mandeville. Visitation will be held at Blanchard St.
Denis Funeral Home on Monday, March 27, 2006 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The memorial
service will be given by the Rev. Tommy Rush and Dr. Calvin Phelps at First Baptist

passed away in Raleigh, NC on October 4, 2005. Peckie MacMahon Church, loving wife,
mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, born on September 15, 1926, passed away in
Raleigh, NC on March 18, 2006. Both had evacuated from New Orleans immediately before

life-long New Orleanian. He graduated from Fortier High School, Tulane University and
Tulane Law School. He was a veteran of WWII, landing at Normandy Beach shortly after D-
day and participating in the Battle of the Bulge. Having financed his education by
running a wooden awning business, it is not surprising that his entrepreneurial spirit
led him to leave his practice of corporate law with the California Company to own and
operate the Church-Dailing Company, a manufacturer's representative for heavy industry
and railroad equipment suppliers. Peckie Church, daughter of George Porter and
Elizabeth Caulkins MacMahon, graduated from Grosse Pointe University School, attended
Connecticut College for Women, and moved to New Orleans in 1947 after marrying Bill in
her hometown of Grosse Pointe, MI. They met on a blind date arranged by one of Peckie's
cousins, who had described her to Bill as his fun cousin. In addition to raising six
children, Peckie was active in Louisiana Republican Party politics and was an award-
winning real estate agent. Bill loved sailing, for a while racing at both the New
Orleans and Southern Yacht Clubs. Peckie enjoyed people, beachcombing, and games of
every variety. Happily married for 58 years, both enjoyed many special relationships
with friends and family in New Orleans and far beyond. They are survived by their six
children: Lee Church Ramer and husband Jack of Little Rock, AR; Patsy Church McBride
and husband Allan of Hattiesburg, MS; Susie Church Hoffman and husband Steve of
Raleigh, NC; Sally Church Dicharry and husband Fred of Clayton, GA; Aimee Church
Sheppard and husband Wayne of Destrehan, LA; and Bill Church, Jr. and wife Mary Cynthia
of Dallas, TX. They are also survived by 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren,

Adams. The family will hold a memorial gathering at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home,

000209	Cooper - Silas Berry Cooper, Jr., age 75, died quietly Tuesday evening, March 7,
2006, at his home on Fifth Street in Abbeville, Louisiana. His loving wife, Patricia,
was at his side. An advocate to the end, Mr. Cooper spent his last day, as he had spent
so many before, arguing a case in court where he defended a local family from a large
outside business interest. At the time of his death, Mr. Cooper was happily married to
Patricia Anderson Segura Cooper, who survives him. He was previously married for more
than 50 wonderful years to his beloved wife, Carolyn Watts Cooper, who predeceased him
January 1, 2004. He was the beloved and respected father of three sons, Robert Howard
Cooper of Mandeville, LA, Silas B. Cooper III, of Tujunga, California, and his
youngest, James Elliott Cooper, who predeceased him in 2001. In addition to his wife
and two sons, Mr. Cooper is survived by his grandchildren, Douglas Wyatt Cooper, Lydia
Catherine Cooper and Edward Paul Cooper, and their mother, Barbara Ann Cooper,
Covington, LA, and his youngest grandchild, Jane Clara Cooper, and her mother, his
daughter-in-law, Liann Pattison Cooper. Mr. Cooper is also survived by his beloved
sister, Betty Cooper Merritt of Austin, Texas and her daughters, his cherished nieces,
Elizabeth Merritt Connolly and Mary Ann Merritt.Mr. Cooper will be deeply missed by his
step children, Huey F. Segura, Jr. of Lafayette, LA, Virginia Segura Myers of Winston-
Salem, North Carolina, Amelia Segura Patout of New Iberia, LA, and his four step
grandchildren, Jillian and Drew Segura of Broussard, LA and Aleece and Hayden Patout of
New Iberia, LA. He also leaves behind his efficient and patient secretary, Brenda
Vondenstein Lege, who helped him with a daughter's devotion for many, many years. Mr.
Cooper was born August 10, 1930 in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of Silas Berry Cooper
and Sarah Simmons Cooper. His father's Southern Baptist ministry called the family to
multiple locations throughout the deep South, and Mr. Cooper grew up in small towns
like Tupelo, Mississippi and big ones like Birmingham, Alabama. Mr. Cooper's father, a
World War I U. S. Army veteran, also served as a U. S. Navy Chaplain with the Seabee's
in the South Pacific in World War II. That service brought the family to Ventura,
California where Mr. Cooper spent his high school years reading letters his father sent
from Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. After the war, the family returned to Clinton,
Mississippi where Mr. Cooper enrolled in Mississippi College, the fourth consecutive
generation of his family to do so. In his junior year, Mr. Cooper met a charming young
freshman, Carolyn Watts, when he asked to share her umbrella in a sudden thunderstorm.
Romance blossomed and the two were married shortly before Mr. Cooper entered the U. S.
Army in 1952. After training in Japan, Mr. Cooper saw combat service in South Korea. A
fiercely patriotic veteran, Mr. Cooper was always proud of his and his father's
military service on behalf of the United States. Upon completion of his military
commitment, Mr. Cooper returned to Mississippi College where he and Carolyn graduated
together in 1954. A brief stint with the Southern Pacific Railroad negotiating leases
and rights-of-way, led to enrollment in Tulane Law School, from which he graduated in
1959. An ardent supporter of Tulane University athletics, Mr. Cooper had both the
strength of character and the moral fiber to be a Green Wave fan for the rest of his
life, proudly defying the purple and gold hordes that infest Southwest Louisiana. Upon
entry to the Louisiana State Bar, Mr. Cooper began his legal career in Lafayette with
the Davidson and Meaux firm. Although he and his wife had no family ties to the region,
Mr. Cooper was fond of stating they chose it because the food, culture and warmth of
its people made it the perfect place to raise their family. In 1962 Mr. Cooper moved
his family to Abbeville, where he entered into partnership with J. E. Kibbe and Roger
C. Edwards. Mr. Cooper continued his practice of law on behalf of the citizens of
Abbeville, great and small, for the next 44 years. His advocacy for his clients brought
him before courts ranging from the smallest local venues to the U. S. Supreme Court. As
an active citizen of the community, Mr. Cooper served on the Vermilion Parish School
Board and as city attorney for many local municipalities. A former president of the
Vermilion Parish Bar Association, Mr. Cooper also served on the Board of Governors for
the Louisiana State Bar Association, was a member of the Judicial Council of the
Louisiana Supreme Court, President of the Tulane Law Alumni Association, and was
honored by the Louisiana State Bar Association in 2002 for his more than thirty years
of service, most of it as Chairman, on its Group Insurance Committees. A lifelong
Southern Baptist, Mr. Cooper proudly served as a deacon at the First Baptist Church of
Abbeville. A Rotarian for more than 40 years, he was active in the Abbeville Rotary
Club, and served as District Governor for many years. He especially enjoyed hosting
Rotarians visiting from overseas, and traveling with his fellow Rotarians to foreign
countries. An avid outdoorsman, Mr. Cooper served as regional counsel for the National
Audubon Society for more than 30 years. He was one of the area's foremost authorities
on the life and works of John James Audubon, and was often asked to speak on the topic.
In addition to watching birds, Mr. Cooper had a passion for shooting and eating some
species, particularly teal, mallards and other water fowl. He annually joined his best
friends, Put and Frosty, for a trip to the Texas Hill Country to hunt deer, turkey and
peace and quiet. As a devoted father and grandfather, Mr. Cooper taught his love of
sports, the outdoors, and history to his sons and grandchildren. With a lifelong
interest in history, Mr. Cooper had a keen eye for the 'story of the place,' which he
always shared with his traveling companions. Whether on a family vacation, hunting
expedition, business trip, or drive in the country, Silas could tell you what had
happened in the place, who had been involved, and why it was important. He could also
be counted upon to know the best local place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack,
and which local delicacy had to be sampled. A true gourmand, Mr. Cooper sought out and
enjoyed all that life had to offer, no matter where he found himself. He will be deeply
missed, and remembered with love and respect, by his family, friends, clients and
supporters. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, March 11, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. at the
First Baptist Church of Abbeville. The family requests that visiting hours be observed
at Vincent Funeral Home, 209 South Saint Charles, Abbeville, and Friday, March 10th

her. She was truly an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Joan Elain Dziewior was

Survivors include his wife, Patricia Morrow Hebert of Lafayette, LA; two daughters,
Cydney Hebert and Cimone Hebert both of Hammond, LA; one son, Earl 'Boogie' Hebert, Jr.
of Breaux Bridge, LA and his wife, Cheryl; his mother, Ida Lormand Hebert of Carencro,

Lormand. He was preceded in death by his father, Lester Hebert and one brother, Bobby
Hebert. A native of Leesville, LA and a lifelong resident of Lafayette and New Orleans,
Mr. Hebert was a veteran of military service, having served in the United States Air
Force during the Vietnam Era. Mr. Hebert was an internationally known artist and
entrepreneur. He started his business career in the grocery store business with two
successful stores in the Lafayette area in the 1960's. Mr. Hebert then turned his
attention to the restaurant industry, creating the cutting edge and highly successful
concept Beef & Ale Restaurant in the early 1970's. In 1972, he conceived and founded
another highly successful concept, Judge Roy Beans Saloon, Lafayette's first singles
bar and grill, which is still talked about some thirty five years later. In the early
1980's, Mr. Hebert began to concentrate on his first love-his art. He began his career
in art at Jackson Square in New Orleans. His unique depiction of Cajun & Creole life
was an instant hit and Earl's Joie de Vive captured the hearts and minds of all the
artists as well as the international visitors. Mr. Hebert's recently published book,
'Zydeco Shoes', traces the Cajun & Creole folk lore like no other publication,
combining his art, the local music and recipes of the well known local cuisine. Mr.
Hebert is also characterized in a recently released movie titled 'The Last Dance',
which has generated a lot of attention in recently held film festivals. Mr. Hebert will
be sadly missed by family and countless friends and people who were lucky enough to
work with him in his many entrepreneurial journeys.A Memorial Service will be held

001083	White - Kimberly Katherine Batey White, 34, of Gulfport, passed away on Sunday,
March 12, 2006 in New Orleans. Kim, born in Fremont, Ohio, has been a life-long
resident of Gulfport. In 1989 she graduated from Gulfport High School, where she was
named Student of the Year. In 1995 Kim graduated from the University of South Alabama
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. For the last 10 years, Kim has worked at
Memorial Hospital in Gulfport in the Cardiac Observation Unit. She was a member of
Bayou View Baptist Church. Kim was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was six
weeks old but she did not die from CF, rather, she lived with it. In fact, she outlived
all of the projections that were made about her lifespan. When others would have taken
advantage of their disability, Kim refused to be treated differently or act
differently. When she could have performed poorly in school due to frequent
hospitalizations, she excelled both in high school and in college. Kim received a gift
of life in the form of a double lung transplant 8 years ago. She used those extra years
well as a caregiver at Memorial Hospital and as a Proverbs 31 woman. She was her
husband's best friend and an encouragement and inspiration to all who knew her. Our
lives are better because of Kim. Kim was preceded in death by her grandfather, T.W.
'Pappy' Milner, Jr., grandmother, Eleanor Stribling Milner; step-grandmother, Innabeth
Melvin Milner; and paternal grandparents, Gerald and Mary Batey. Kim is survived by her
husband of 9 years, Clinton White of Gulfport; her parents Gerald 'Gary' and Eleanor
Batey, Jr. of Gulfport; sister, Mary Elizabeth Batey of Semmes, Alabama; father-in-law,
