Shirley was born in New Orleans, La. on December 6, 1923 to Henry Conrad Hartmann and Viola Mary Albertine Blum Hartmann. She met her husband Richard Carriere Sr. at a Halloween Sadie Hawkins dance while attending John McDonnagh Girls High School. They wed in 1946, after Richard returned from serving in Europe during World War II. Devoted wife and loving mother of Andra Carriere and Richard Carriere, Jr., Shirley's natural curiosity sparkled in all situations. Shirley loved the beauty of nature, animals, tending her garden, sewing and needlecrafts. Her garden was abloom all seasons. She became a passionate and talented china painter in mid-life. Shirley's life involved both career and community activities. She worked as a real estate agent and as a bookkeeper for the United Rice Mill in New Orleans. She and her husband also managed apartments and Shirley's fierce independence extended to doing most repairs from plumbing, to electrical work, to painting. Evacuating New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina, Shirley and Richard sheltered at the Texas home of Shirley's cousin, Caroline and husband Robert Osborne. After losing their home to Katrina, they moved to Hearthstone Assisted Living in nearby Wharton, Texas. One of Shirley's hallmarks was her tenacity. If someone needed help she was available. When faced with a task, simple or as complex as zoning changes, she remained focused and worked persistently until it was accomplished. Shirley employed this tenacity to overcome numerous health setbacks and challenges over the last several years. Shirley deeply mourned the loss of her home, friends and the New Orleans community. 'When this container breaks down, and the spirit wants to soar free, it's a liberation to pass away.' She will be missed by all who knew her. Survivors include her husband Richard Carriere Sr., her children Andra Carriere and Richard Carriere, Jr, her sister Elaine Drasil, and cousins, nieces and nephews.

Patsy and Fred's beautiful parents were Frederick William ('Billy') Swaim, Sr. (R.I.P.) of Independence, Missouri and Anna ('Annie') Munsey Swaim (R.I.P.) of New Orleans, LA. His parents-in-law were John N. McGrath (R.I.P.) of Highland, Wisconsin and Isabella Byrne McGrath (R.I.P.) of New Orleans, LA. Professor Swaim was 'brother-in-law' through Patsy to her husband, Childs Edwin Dunbar, Jr. Through Mary Ann, he was 'brother- in-law' to Marci McGrath, Deborah Claire Gilmore McGrath, Glen Patrick McGrath, Adrian Nicholas McGrath, and Chris Smith. He was 'Godfather' to Childs Edwin Dunbar III (R.I.P.) and Sarah Cecelia Swaim. He was 'Uncle Fred' to Childs Edwin Dunbar III (R.I.P.), Jean Anne Dunbar Chambers, Rebecca Bezou, Jason Bezou, Ashling Brigid McGrath, Sarah Smith, Jeffrey Smith, and Sara Bezou. He was former brother-in-law to Charlie Bezou. He was 'Great Uncle' to Childs Edwin Dunbar IV, Corey Evan Dunbar, Brian Chambers, Jeffrey Chambers, Christopher Chambers, and Ellen Pivach Dunbar. Most especially, Professor Swaim leaves a large family of choice that he loved with all his might -- all his students and former students of Loyola Law School, where he taught law for nearly forty years. Teaching was who he was. His classroom was home, where as one former student recently wrote he 'played with us over the law.' Professor Swaim is also survived by many more who also loved him: extended family members and friends, cherished faculty colleagues, the fine administration and the kind staff of Loyola University School of Law all past and present -- from 1969 until this very semester of his death, by the University of California at Berkeley School of Law where he received his LL.M., by the former Detroit College of Law where he taught before returning to his native New Orleans, by Tulane University where he earned both his B.A. and J.D. degrees, by De la Salle High School and Rugby Academy, by his buddy Harley riders, by the Irish, and by the entire maritime and Civil Law world, writ large, where he published extensively and where he continues to be referenced and quoted profusely in both case law and scholarly secondary sources. Professor Swaim was a devoted Civilian and a champion of the Civil Code. He fought the fight for constitutional process, for the academic wholeness of the Code, for personal responsibility on the motorcycle helmet law issue, and for other great causes. He loved a good class, a good drink, a good joke, and a good fight. Students remember the eras of his long tenure by their own years of attendance -- from Hatchet man times, to the duck shirt era, to the Columbo period, to motorcycle days, Checker times, Days of Our Lives adventures, the 'Louisiana Swaim for Governor' year, the Honeymooners, the Langles ladies' toastings, and so many more. Even to his dying days, he never grew up; his last request was to see again Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. In deference to him and his passionate love affair with his students, the Swaim family gratefully joins Loyola University School of Law in this invitation to all who loved him: Come to Loyola Law School Saturday, June 17, 2006, starting at 4:00 p.m., and let us share a Celebration of Life both his life and our own lives that converged so eventfully with his. Also, because he so loved his Loyola law students, the family implores that Professor Swaim be remembered with donations to a special fund already established by Loyola University New Orleans School of Law in his name specifically: The Professor Frederick W. Swaim Memorial Fund lest his legacy be forgotten. A webpage in honor of Professor Swaim has been set up on the Loyola website. The address is http://www.louisianaswaim.com.

Whether the kids are learning dance, attending rehearsals or putting on a concert, it is all a process. These children are learning life skills like discipline and responsibility. And more importantly they start thinking about their futures here,' said Jenny Thompson in a newspaper interview about her commitment to kids and art through her award winning dance program for children. A resident of Treme, Jenny succumbed to cancer, after a 41/2 year struggle, at Hospice of Cincinnati in Blue Ash on Thursday, April 13, 2006. Jenny served as General Director of the NORD/NOBA Center for Dance, a cultural. community partnership between the New Orleans Recreation Department and the New Orleans Ballet Association, from 1992-2005. As founding director, she developed a national award- winning program that focuses on teaching the art of dance through excellence. Jenny and the NORD/NOBA Center for Dance were honored with the President's Council on Arts & Humanities ('Coming Up Taller') Award in 2002, presented by Laura Bush in Washington D.C. In 2005, she received the Big Easy Classical Arts Award in New Orleans for her contributions to the arts. Jenny worked with the New Orleans Ballet Association as a grant writer, education director, community liaison, among many other roles. She had been a long time partner and friend of the Newcomb Dance Program at Tulane University. She held A B.F.A. and an M.A. in Art Education from the University of Cincinnati's DAAP. She was General Manager of the Cincinnati Ballet, Coordinator of the New Orleans Dance Council, Louisiana Dance on Tour Coordinator (1993-5), and Manager of the Louisiana Presenter's Network (1996-9). Her sister, Cynthia, says 'Jenny exhibited a fierce courage in the face of her declining health. When no longer able to hold a job, she began making art: collages, paintings, and a series of striking sculptures - 'Katrina crosses' - created from debris left by the hurricane.' She made a difference in thousands of children's lives by enabling them to experience the power of the arts through free and accessible programming, and preparation for some for careers in dance. The dance community would not be the same without her contributions over the past 15 years, Jenny was a visionary, a caring and committed artist/administrator, whose legacy reaches deep into the dance community of New Orleans and beyond. Jenny is survived by her sister, Cynthia Hudzik, of Terrace Park, Ohio, and her beloved cats, Nola and Turtle.
