Her family, consisting of 6 children, moved to Chicago for a brief time, but returned to New Orleans in the 1930's. This is where Vivian met the love of her life, Salvadore Castelluccio. They had two children and a happy life until Sal was taken from her too early in 1967. She never remarried, but lived the rest of her life to the fullest. She was an accomplished seamstress who sewed the most beautiful clothes for her granddaughters. She was a superb cook, making everything from scratch and inventing her own recipes, although she never gave herself due credit in this realm. Vivian was a meticulous housekeeper and gracious hostess who always asked the minute you walked in the door, 'Are you hungry?---I've got food!' Her biggest delights in life were her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was literally the Granny who 'burst her buttons' speaking about her offspring. Vivian was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mary, her husband Sal, her brother Vincent and her sisters, Anita Z. Connel, Gloria Z. Emerson and Genevieve Z. Elmer. She is survived by her son, Salvadore Castelluccio, Jr., her daughter Vivian C. Mendoza and husband Al, her brother, Judge Frank Zaccaria, Jr. and wife Delores and granddaughters Brandie Lynn Mendoza and Ann Maria Castelluccio Thomas and husband Brian, and the 3 joys of her life, great grandchildren Alex Salvadore Thomas, Jenna Marie Thomas and Connor Vincent Thomas. Also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by her 'great grand dogs' Gretchen and Spin. Vivian will always be remembered for her faith in the Lord, her class, dignity, open heart, sense of style, but most of all, the unwavering and unconditional love she had for her family. 'Great Granny' will be missed immensely by all who had the fortune of knowing her, but we are all comforted by knowing she is with Paw Paw in Heaven watching over us. Vivian's family would like to thank cousins Lloyd and Mimi Elmer, Frank and Maelissa Elmer, Jeannie Emerson and Gwen Dufrene for all their extraordinary support during this time. A special thanks to all employees of Canon Hospice who made this time so much easier with their kindness.

He was the son of the late John Franklin and Sarah 'Sallie' Adams Creel; father of Mary Jane C. Holmes, John L. Creel, Jr., and Barbara C. Reed; grandfather of Rodger B. Holmes, Jr., Jennifer C. Romano, Brian John Creel, and Thomas P. Reed; brother of the late Jessielee C. Wilson, Ernestine, Edna Mae, Beulah and Roy Creel, and Juanita C. Wolf; and godfather of Barbara Ambrose Onisko. Mr. Creel was born in Summit, Mississippi and raised in McComb before moving to New Orleans in 1939. A graduate of Metairie High School he served his country in the World War II era as a communications specialist in the Army. Mr. Creel began his railroad career in 1948 with the Illinois Central. He later worked for the Union Passenger Terminal as well as the New Orleans Public Belt before finishing his career as a shop foreman for Amtrak. He was a member of Sheet Metal Workers International Association, Union Local # 227. It was in the field of square dancing that Mr. Creel really left his mark as an instructor, caller, recording artist, volunteer, and in the promotion of square dancing. Mr. Creel began square dancing in 1955. Within a few years he had organized a new club Dip N Dive, and began teaching new dancers in 1959. Unbeknownst to him a club member booked a dance for him to call for another club and a career was born. A year later he was asked to record his first singing call and six months after that called his first out of state dance in Florida. Over the course of his career he recorded 62 singing calls on the Lore and Blue Star labels, many of which were engineered by New Orleans famed Cosimo Matassa at his J&M Music Shop. Mr. Creel was also featured on 3 LPs on the Blue Star label. He called in most of the contiguous states. He served on the staff of square dance camps at the Gulf Hills Dude Ranch in Mississippi, Jekyll Island Resort in Georgia, Rainbow Lake Lodge and the Rebel Roundup Festival at Fontana Village Resort both in North Carolina. He was the featured caller for the Hawaii State convention in 1980 and called in Canada and Mexico. In 1957 as President of Dip N Dive, Mr. Creel helped to organize the Metropolitan New Orleans Area Square and Round Dance Association. This began his many years of service to this organization. As the representative of the New Orleans Callers Association, he and his taw served two terms as MNOASRDA president. During this time he initiated the association's newsletter Hoedown Hotline, added a fashion show to its annual festival, and served as liaison for the association with city officials, the Arts Council, and Bicentennial Committee. Most importantly he organized a Past Presidents Club. This group proved invaluable when, in 1980, the MNOASRDA sponsored the Louisiana State Square Dance Convention in New Orleans at the Rivergate Convention Center. Mr. Creel and his taw served as its general Chairman, and members of the Past Presidents Club served as the committee chairs. It was the largest state square dance convention held to date. As Historian of the association Mr. Creel arranged for all of its records to be donated to the Tulane University Manuscripts Library in order to preserve them for future generations. He also donated his personal library of American Square Dance and Square Dancing magazines. In 1969 Mr. Creel was one of seventeen members of the MNOASRDA who formed the Deep Dixie Square Dance Association for the sole purpose of bringing the National Square Dance Convention to New Orleans. As a board member Mr. Creel traveled to Omaha, Nebraska and helped win the bid for the convention. He served as Vice Chairman for Contra Dancing for the 1971 convention also held at the Rivergate. In 1959 Mr. Creel became a charter member of the New Orleans Callers Association and served four terms as its president. He continued to serve as its representative to both the local and state square dance associations until his death. In 1974 Mr. Creel joined Callerlab, the international organization for professional square dance callers, and served on several of its committees. As a professional caller he was a member of both ASCAP and BMI. He was also a member of Zig & Zag and Saddle-ites square dance clubs. For the ten year period 1974-1984 he was the club caller for the Covington Square C's. Mr. Creel had a passion for promoting square dancing as a fun, wholesome family activity as well as using his calling talent for the good of his community. He called exhibitions at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for 7 years, in the infield at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, on a local half hour television program Square Dance Time on WVUE Channel 13 in the early 1960's, at the 1980 World's Fair, the United Cerebral Palsy telethon, the Lions Club, and local nursing homes. For the New Orleans Bicentennial Celebration he organized and presented a pageant depicting the history of square dancing in America. He did volunteer teaching for the YMCA, People Program Recreation, and The Lighthouse for the Blind, which he considered one of his most rewarding experiences. He served on caller-dancer education panels at many state and national square dance conventions. Mr. Creel has been featured several times in both American Square Dance and Square Dancing magazines including as the caller of the month in February 1971. He has been chronicled in a San Antonio square dance magazine, Florida's Bow and Swing, and New Orleans' The Times Picayune. He has been featured on the front page of the Houston Chronicle, Square 'Em Up- published by the Louisiana Square Dance Association, and Listen to the Caller- published by The Greater Memphis Square and Round Dance Association, Inc. Mr. Creel's selfless devotion to square dancing has brought him an abundance of awards. For his contributions he received not only a Certificate of Appreciation from the Bicentennial commission but also a Certificate of Merit for his contributions to square dancing in New Orleans for Mayor Moon Landrieu. In 1988 he received MNOASRDA's first ever award 'in appreciation for dedicated service in promoting square and round dancing.' In 1974 he received Callerlab's Quarter Century Award. In 1999 Callerlab presented him with The Special Appreciation Award for Outstanding Contributions to Square Dancing. This award is presented to members who, in the opinion of the selection committee, have 'distinguished themselves with unselfish personal contributions far exceeding the norm during their square dancing career.' In 1984 he and his taw were inducted into the Fontana Hall of Fame. He received numerous keys to the cities in which he called. Mr. Creel's love of square dancing also spilled over into his volunteer work at St. Christopher Church were he was a parishioner since 1948. He called exhibitions for the parish fair for many years. He also worked with the CYO and High School of Religion. In 1998 he received the Archdiocese Senior Citizens Award.

He was 88. Miles's friends and family often joked that 'J.P.,' as he was known, did nothing in moderation if he could do it in excess. In the 1960s, for instance, he bought his own plane and got his pilot's license, which he used for family vacations. He learned to play tennis at age 60 and was noted for his evil slices and spins. But more important, he was wonderfully excessive in his embrace of life, his family, and his community. The longtime Lumberton resident was born in Slidell, LA on October 3, 1918. In 1921, he moved to Nicaragua, where his father worked for a lumber company and his late brother Roy was born in 1924. During World War II, the two brothers served in the U.S. Army in the European Theater, and in 1946, they became partners in Joe N. Miles and Sons Lumber, the Lumberston, MS, business their father founded in 1934. As a businessman, Miles was excessively savvy and inventive. Until the time of his death, he served as Chairman of the Board of Joe N. Miles and Sons Inc., a successful family-owned corporation with sawmills in Lumberton, MS, Silver Creek, MS and Bogalusa, LA. An inventive problem solver, Miles was instrumental in designing much of the mills' machinery, often sketching plans on paper napkins and placemates. He held several patents on his designs, including one for a radiator cap remover, which he later sold to Prestone through Union Carbide Corp. Miles also devoted a great deal of time to the Lumberton United Methodist Church and to his community. At various times, he served as the President of the Lumberton Rotary Club, as President of the Board of the Lumberton Line Consolidated School, as a Director of the Mississippi Economic Council, and as a Director of the Lumberton Citizens Hospital. He also served on the boards of the Lumberton State Bank, First Mississippi National Bank, as well as on the Board and the Executive Committee of Southern Forest Products Association. He is survived by his wife, the former Martha Taylor of Lumberton, MS; five children, including: Nan Miles Einhart of Pensacola, FL, Duddy Miles and wife, Debbie of Poplarville, MS, Johnny Miles of Bogalusa, LA, Nicki Miles and wife, Bobbie of Covington, LA and Joanna Miles- Basta and husband, Nick of New York, NY; five grandchildren; and 1 great- grandchild. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Rebecca Manning Miles in 1969; as well as his three siblings: Leroy E. Miles, Margaret Miles Montgomery and Cora Mae Miles Lines.

Mr. Parker was an alumni of the first graduating class of the 'new' St. Agnes Elementary School, and a graduate of De La Salle High School. He enlisted in the Army in 1961 and served two years before being honorably discharged in 1963. Following his military service, Mr. Parker furthered his education at Delgado, becoming a Journeyman Electrician in 1964 with Local 130 of the IBEW. Having retired from electrical work after 40 years, Mr. Parker briefly operated a local bar and grill prior to opening Slicky's Pizza Parlor. Under his proprietorship, Slicky's became a cornerstone of the Gentilly community centered at St. Roch and Prentiss Avenues - the gathering place for the professors and students of UNO and the official marquee at which the neighborhood Krewe of Dreux walking club parade culminated annually on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday. Following a heart transplant in 1996 that forced his retirement from the restaurant business, Mr. Parker became an advocate for organ donation and spent many hours visiting patients in Oschner Foundation's transplant unit. Staff and patients alike fondly recall Slicky's holiday shenanigans, when he appeared comically attired in the appropriate costume - Santa Slicky, Baby New Heart, and Cupid among the favorites. A 10-year transplant survivor and 7-year cancer survivor, Mr. Parker's trademark positive outlook carried him uncomplainingly through the loss of his Gentilly home of 30 years in Hurricane Katrina and the lengthy illness which ultimately overwhelmed his indomitable spirit. To everyone he met, Slicky was a friend, and you can make book on him holding a seat at the table for those who will someday follow him beyond. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, two daughters, two sons, ten grandchildren, one great-grandchild, a brother and sister, seventeen nieces and nephews, his extended family and dear friends too numerous to count. His rich wit is a legacy that will bring smiles even as his loss is mourned by all who knew him.

As a young man, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and helped with projects in the southwest where he graduated form high school. He joined the Army Air Corps during World War II flying in B-29's in the Asian Theater. He received many commendations for his service and returned briefly to civilian life where he worked as an aircraft mechanic in Los Angeles. There he married Evelyn Holtz and returned to active military duty with the U.S. Army, eventually achieving the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. He and Evelyn had three daughters, Sandy, Judith and Erica. During his military career, the family lived in Turkey, Virginia, Germany and North Carolina. Mr. Rodden also served in Korea, following which time he and Evelyn divorced. He later married Margaret Parrish (Marge) and became father to her sons, Floyd, now deceased, and Jeffery. Upon retiring from military service in 1964, he took a civil service job working for the U. S. Army in the field of aircraft and helicopter maintenance, working in Alabama, Germany and Kentucky, where he retired once again in 1984. He then settled in Georgetown, KY until moving to Covington, LA in 2004. In addition to his working careers, Mr. Rodden, or Mr. Leo, as he became known in Louisiana, enjoyed an active and service-filled life. He received an award from the VA hospital in Lexington, Kentucky as a 'Volunteer of the Year', having logged thousands of hours of time with them. He was a member of the Mt. Vernon Masonic Lodge #14, where he received his 50 year jewel, and the Covington, LA Lodge #188. Leo and Marge were very active in the Order of Eastern Star, Rising Star Chapter 115, and served on the executive board of Rainbow for Girls for many years. A member of the Shriners, as 'Buttons the Clown', a life member of the Oleika Temple Clowns, he participated in many parades and hospital visits to benefit the Shrine Children's Hospital in Lexington, donating most of his beloved clown collection to them upon his move to Louisiana.

Additionally, he was a life-member of the American Legion and served on the board of the 58th Bomb Wing, attending their reunions annually, and hosting the reunion in Lexington, KY in 1998. Leo was a lifelong learner. He pursued educational opportunities throughout his life, earning his Bachelor's Degree in General Studies from the University of Kentucky in 1991, just before his 70th birthday. He was a very proud Wildcat, wearing his trademark hat wherever he went, and was most proud of his grandson Josh's recent football career at his alma mater. Following a course in Appalachian Studies in Berea, KY, in which he learned to make a mountain dulcimer, he continued to make dozens more, collecting them and giving them as gifts. He built his own dulcimer kits for a summer camp program at Christ Episcopal School last year. Woodworking was a pastime he always enjoyed. He took up counted cross-stitch, gifting family and friends with his numerous creations. He loved his crossword puzzles on a daily basis and never turned down a good card game. Leo was an avid photographer and a lover of all music. In fact, his love of good food, good music and good times brought him to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival annually for the past 15 years or so, wearing his trademark 'Big Fun' t-shirt. Leo loved to cook and will be remembered for his potluck specials, rice pilaf and apple cobbler. Nobody enjoyed apple pie with milk on it for breakfast more than him. Traveling was his passion, taking him worldwide, including recent trips to China, Ireland, Australia and Oberammergau in 2000 to see 'The Passion Play.' Leo was active in the Episcopal church most of his life. He helped build St. Matthew's Church in Lexington, KY, was a long-standing member of Trinity Church in Georgetown, KY, and most recently attended Christ Church in Covington, LA. Mr. Rodden will best be remembered for the wonderful person he was and how he touched and enriched the lives of so many.

The ship has weathered every rack; the prize we sought is won.The port is near, the bells I hear, fellow mates exulting. While eager eyes steady the keel, the vessel grim and daring. Where on the deck has my Captain gone? Like a lighthouse along the shore, Sending gleams across the waves. My poor fainting struggling seaman, I try to rescue and save Dark is the night, as the angry billows roar. Eager eyes watching, longing for the lights along the shore. Trim your feeble lamp my brother. Some poor sailor tempest tossed, trying now to make the harbor. In the darkness he may be lost. O Captain my Captain rise up and hear the bells. Rise up- for you the flag is hung, For you the bugle trills, For you bouquets of ribboned wreaths, For you the shores crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning. My Captain answers not for his lips has fallen still. The ship is anchored safe and sound, It's voyage closed and done. From fearful trip, The victor ship comes in with object won. Exulted shores and bells that toll. But I, with mournful tread walk the deck my Captain once strolled.
