Schiro, and in 1966 appointed by the late Congressman F. Edward Hebert to manage his District Office in New Orleans, died Monday, April 10, 2006 of natural causes at her home in Mandeville, Louisiana. After the retirement of Congressman Hebert, Mrs. Burguieres became an Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Naval Reserve, then headquartered in New Orleans. Upon her retirement in 1983 she received a commendation for 'Dedicated Service' to the Department of the Navy. In 1961, Mrs. Burguieres co-authored a book about Congressman Hebert entitled 'Creed of a Congressman' and published by Southwestern University at Lafayette. The late Ken Gormin wrote on the fly cover that 'her exposure to the inner workings of a great American city brought her into contact with important political figures of the state and nation. He added that 'she graduated from city government in 1966 when she became executive secretary U.S. Congressman F. Edward Hebert in charge of his District Office in New Orleans.' During the period in her career when she was a Latin American columnist, Mrs. Burguieres travelled extensively in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. She was in Havana for the opening of the Havana Hilton a week before Castro took over. When she returned to New Orleans she told her editor, George Chaplin, that Cuba would become a communist nation. Chaplin asked if she knew more than our State Department and she said, yes. On a visit to the Dominican Republic in 1958 with a group of Latin American reporters from the U.S. she discovered that former Argentine dictator Juan peron, then in exile, had arrived a few days before but everyone had been firmly told that he would grant no press interviews. She finagled a private one-in-one meeting with General Peron at his hotel in the Dominican Republic, arrived with her camera, had herself photographed with Peron and returned to New Orleans for her first front-page story. During her period on The Item, Mrs. Burguieres flew on the Eastern Airlines inaugural non-stop flight to Mexico City with Captain Eddie Rickenbacker at the controls. She developed a friendship with Captain Rickenbacker and later, while living in Mexico City with her husband and children, her son, Ernest A. Burguieres III, age 8, had been reading Rickenbacker's book about his crash and survival of a plane crash in the Pacific. Thinking that mothers could do all things, her son asked if she would arrange for him to meet Rickenbacker because he had a 'lot of questions' he wanted to ask him about his crash. She read he was scheduled to stop at the Hilton Hotel to and would be meeting with the President of Mexico. She dutifully called the hotel and left her name and phone number. At eight o'clock the next morning she was awakened with a phone call and a voice that said this is 'Captain Eddie.' She told him of her son's request and he said he would be happy to see him if she could have him at his hotel in an hour. She did and he did. She was told Captain Rickenbacker was in the Penthouse Suite. The elevator opened directly into the suite and Capt. Rickenbacker was waiting. He immediately led young Ernest into a private room and closed the door apologizing because he didn't have much time because he was meeting with the President of Mexico at 9 o'clock. Her son was returned in about 15 minutes speechless, and clutching an autographed book. Mrs. Burguieres was born in Laurel, Mississippi but spent most of her adult life in New Orleans. She was a widow of the late Ernest A. Burguieres, Jr., an engineer and a member of a prominent New Orleans family with vast sugar plantation holdings in southwest Louisiana. She is survived by two children: Ernest A. Burguieres III and Holly Isabel Burguieres; a grandson, Gordon Phelps Kelley III of Dublin, Ireland; and a sister, Erma Lee Russell Detweiler of San Antonio, Texas.

At age 15 Jocelyn left her home in Kaplan, a small town in southeast Louisiana and came to New Orleans to experience life in 'the big city' and to attend beauty school. This was the beginning of her life-long passion for the beauty business. In her late 20's she opened her first salon and during the following 30 years eventually owned and operated 5 beauty schools (Jocelyn Daspit Beauty Colleges) across southeast Louisiana. During her over 60 years as a successful independent business woman and entrepreneur, she was responsible for training hundreds of hairdressers and teachers, assisting many of them in launching their own careers, often waiving tuition for those in need.

Throughout this period she was surrounded by her devoted family; daughter, Jennifer Weier and granddaughter, Alexis, who affectionately call her 'Sugie' nicknamed by her dad, her son, Jordan and husband, John. Sandy, a true Texan, was born in Beaumont, TX, grew up in Tulsa, OK, a 1962 graduate of Central High, and attended the University of Tulsa. Sandy was the granddaughter of Andy Payne, the Cherokee Indian in 1928 that won 'The Bunion Derby', 'The Great Race' that started in Los Angeles, CA and ended in Madison Square Garden, NYC. Sandy's inherited determination and adventurous spirit took her to New Orleans, where she met, romanced and on June 30, 1972 married 'The most blessed man I know'. 'Throughout our marriage we renewed our wedding vows in celebration every 10 years with family and friends. Our life together has been truly blessed.' Sandy's numerous involvements in community, social and church endeavors brought new meanings to laughter and entertainment. Sandy's presence was a bright and sparkling light in this world as it is today in God's Kingdom. This past year, though difficult, was truly a blessing for Sandy. She watched her son, Jordon through his many interactions with Alexis and realized what a wonderful dad he will be. She watched her daughter, Jennifer and realized that no matter what the challenge she is her 'mother's daughter' and to Alexis, her granddaughter, she saw herself 'reborn' and saw that 'Sugies's hat tradition' will live on. In her husband, John, she saw and nurtured his love for her and the family. She knew that one day Divine Guidance will rejoin their paths. The family would like to extend their personal and deepest gratitude for all the prayers and love extended by our Kingwood Church family, friends and relatives. Sandy enriched all of our lives with a lifetime of cherished memories through 'her great passion for life', her wisdom, humor, generosity and enthusiasm that was bigger than life itself. Adored by all, this wonderful lady will be greatly missed. Sandy is preceded in death by her parents, Theodore Thomas Lemon and Mary Beth Payne Lemon and brother, Donald T. Lemon.

Barbara Ingram passed away on Thursday, April 20 at Cottage Hospital surrounded by her loving family. In 1954, Barbara married Frederic B. Ingram and moved to Metairie, Louisiana, where they raised their three children. In 1982, Barbara moved to Montecito where she lived for the past 25 wonderful years. As a young girl, Barbara went to New York to study art, where she graduated from Scudder-Collver School. Gradually she found she was more in demand as a model than as a painter. By the time she was twenty-two, Barbara was a Conover model who had appeared on the cover of more than 16 magazines and was the Esquire Calendar Girl of 1951. During this time, she was offered a part by comedian Ken Murray as one of his 'Glamorlovelies' on his popular TV show 'Ken Murray's Blackouts.' She stayed with Murray for three years and had the great opportunity to work with legendary comedians such as Milton Berle and Morey Amsterdam. Recognizing her talent and potential, RKO studios convinced Barbara to leave New York and The Ken Murray show for Hollywood and a shot at the big screen. Mr. Murray released her from her contract to go to Hollywood where she made two pictures for Howard Hughes at RKO studios, including 'The French Line.' Devoted to civic duties, Barbara was a great supporter of Theater, Music, Arts and Education in both New Orleans and Santa Barbara. In Santa Barbara, a community she loved dearly, Barbara was an active supporter of The Lobero Theater and The Braille Institute among other important organizations in the community. Barbara loved traveling the world, art, books and fashion. An avid sports fan, Barbara rarely missed a Lakers game, and was passionate about Santa Barbara Polo. Barbara is survived by her beloved children, Frederic B. Ingram Jr., Eileen Ingram Mielko (Tom), Philip Finley Ingram (Karen), and her beloved grandchildren, Justin Finley Ingram, Brendan Patrick Ingram, Larkin Elizabeth Ingram and Avery Eileen Ingram, her sisters Melissa Dobbins Chambers of Illinois and Deborah Dobbins Kodl (Robert) of Arizona. The Ingram family extends a very special thank you to Barbara's long time Physician, Dr. Thomas Allyn, and the wonderful and very talented doctors, nurses and staff at Cottage Hospital. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Cottage Hospital Foundation. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday at El Montecito Presbyterian Church, conducted by Dr. Harold Bussell. A reception for family and friends will follow at Birnam Wood Golf Club.

Billy's beloved wife of over forty years, Donna Hornsby Quin, preceded him in death only seven months ago. Billy is survived by his 2 daughters, Lisa Anne Quin, Raleigh, NC, Christiana Quin Wharton, Madison, MS, 1 son, William M. Quin, II, Brandon, MS, 5 grandchildren, Olivia Claire Quin, Tinley Grace Wharton, Kathryn Renee Derr, Brenden Scott Derr, Joshua Keith Derr, sister, Beverly Quin Jones, Amite. Billy Quin is a 1959 graduate of Greensburg High School, where he was an All-State Football player and champion public speaker. During 1960-61, Billy served as State President of the Future Farmers of America (€FFA). He graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1963, where he served as Student Body President his senior year. In the fall of 1963, Billy entered law school at Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana. To finance his education, Billy worked evenings on the shipping docks at Red Ball Motor Freight, while his wife, Donna, worked days at a local department store. Billy graduated Loyola in 1966 with a Bachelor of Laws degree. Billy Quin joined the District Attorney's Office of the 21st Judicial District in 1971 after spending the initial years of his career in New Orleans and then as a young lawyer in Kentwood. He remained an Assistant District Attorney until the mid-1990s, serving the bulk of his tenure under District Attorney Duncan Kemp. As a testament to his commitment to fairness and justice, Billy returned to public service in recent years as an Assistant Public Defender. Billy also served as City Attorney of his hometown, Kentwood, Louisiana, and the personal attorney of countless people. Compassion and wisdom served as the defining characteristics of Billy Quin's forty year legal career. As Billy once said in a Baton Rouge Morning Advocate expose, €The essential ingredients of an assistant DA are compassion and wisdom- which should be used not only to protect society but as guidance in helping young people revert from their mistakes. Among Billy's proudest achievements was his recommendation of outstanding Kentwood basketball star, Collis Temple Jr., to Press Maravich, basketball coach of Louisiana State University. Temple went on to become the first African-American basketball player in LSU history. Far more important to him than his many professional achievements, Billy was a devoted husband and father of three. He never missed a dance recital of his daughters or a sporting event of his son; and as anyone who knows him will attest, Billy loved his wife Donna as dearly as one man can love his spouse. Billy Quin will long be missed by those he leaves behind, family and friends alike. For more information, visit http://www.mckneelys.com.
