A memorial service and Catholic Mass will be held in celebration of Steve's life on Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 10 a.m. at the St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square in New Orleans, officiated by Msgr. Crosby Kern. A burial service will be held at the Rayville Masonic Cemetery in Rayville at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2008, officiated by Rev. Philip Pazhayakari, CMI. All friends of Steve are invited to attend either or both services. Steve was truly a Man for All Seasons as his life combined a multitude of professions and service including being a noted professional landscape architect, painter, sculptor, professional performing artist, and humanitarian who gave his life, time and talents to those of his beloved City of New Orleans and throughout the United States. Steve was born in Rayville, Louisiana on June 2, 1949, the son of William R. Coenen and Mary Elizabeth Ricard Coenen. His mother died when Steve was very young and he always credited his two aunts, Marguerite Coenen and Lorraine Lamie, for their love, guidance and inspiration during his upbringing. Steve was predeceased by his parents, as well as his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Ricard of Denham Springs, Louisiana and Mr. and Mrs. Theodore J. Coenen, Sr. of Rayville, Louisiana. Steve was survived by siblings Carol Camille Coenen Christie and her husband, Ron of Brenham, Texas, William R. Coenen, Jr. and his wife, Ruthie of Rayville, Thomas R. Coenen and his wife, Darlene of Loranger, Louisiana, Margaret Ann Holdiness of Alto, Louisiana, and his step brother, John R. McClendon and his wife, Odwina of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was also survived by fifteen adoring nieces and nephews and many wonderful friends from across the country. Steve graduated from Rayville High School in 1967, being named Mr. RHS and remained very close to many of his RHS classmates throughout his life. He attended Northeast Louisiana University (now University of Louisiana - Monroe) and, in 1975 graduated from the School of Landscape Architecture at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. During his LSU days, Steve was one of the featured vocalists and guitarists at The Christ the King Catholic Church each Sunday and frequently entertained around the campus with fellow performers. Following graduation from LSU, Steve worked for several years as a lead entertainer for Holland America Cruise Lines, honing his skills as a singer, dancer and musician. Steve chose New Orleans as his home, inspired by the native Louisiana oak trees and year round plant growing season. His creative genius in landscape and floral arrangement and design attracted many individuals and hotels as clients. Steve was widely known in the New Orleans area for his "moonlight and magnolias garden look" as described by Hardy and Douglas in Gardens of New Orleans, and was particularly sought after during Mardi Gras and Christmas seasons for planning and decorating for fabulous parties. Ever moving into new art forms, Steve developed the unique process of creating mosaics and sculptures of glass and ceramics, using discarded pieces of crockery, porcelain and glass. Steve's home in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, filled with plants and many of his sculptural creations, was the subject of many articles in newspapers, magazines and gardening books. Those fortunate enough to own a "Steve Coenen" creation truly received a lifelong conversation piece. Steve's contributions to the City of New Orleans were numerous. He was a frequent performer at the Le Petit Theatre, the La Chat Noir Theatre, as well as the Tulane Summer Lyric Theatre and the Jefferson Parish Arts Society productions. Steve literally put his life on the line on December 7, 2002 when he rescued an individual being victimized by an assault in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Steve was shot in his chest by one of the perpetrators, but through his efforts, the life of the victim was spared. For this act of heroism, Steve was presented with the 2003 New Orleans Public Safety Citizen of the Year award, the 2003 Storer Boone Humanitarian award for outstanding contributions to society and community and in 2005 was one of 21 individuals in the United States to receive the Carnegie Medal for extraordinary heroism. After becoming ill, Steve continued his painting career, becoming a prolific watercolor artist, often donating his works to those critically ill at M. D. Anderson Hospital and to the doctors and caregivers as well. He also wrote, painted watercolor scenery, and recorded songs for a children's book entitled "Little Bird" which will be published posthumously. Steve will be long remembered for his flamboyant suits of orange, blue, and purple, "matched" with shoes of red or green, worn to events such as a niece's wedding, where he entertained the crowd with his Fred Astaire-like dance style, always leaving the crowd both amazed and full of laughter. Those who knew Steve seemed to always smile, if not downright laugh out loud, when remembering his talents, wit and charm. He will be forever a favorite brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to all he touched. A special thanks is due Steve's sister, Carol, for her daily encouragement and care of Steve during the last 16 months of his life, to Dr. Louis Fayard of M. D. Anderson Hospital and to Hospice of Brenham, Texas for their loving care during the last weeks of Steve's life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 5005 Mitchelldale, No. 115, Houston, TX, 77097 or to Hospice of Brenham, TX, Hospice Brazos Valley, 302 Horton Street, Brenham, Texas, 77833.

Michael Smith and Joan of Baton Rouge and Denise Smith Domingue and Louis of Lafayette; his nieces and nephews; and many grand nieces, grand nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest Joseph Cook, Sr. and Claire Sadler Cook of New Orleans. A native of New Orleans, LA and a lifetime resident of New Orleans, Dr. Cook was a parishioner of St. Maria Goretti Parish for 36 years until Katrina. His home in New Orleans East, Spring Lake, was so severely damaged that he and his wife took residence in Maurice near relatives. He later became a patient in Evangeline Oaks Guest Home. He was a graduate of Jesuit High School, attended LSU undergraduate school, and graduated from Loyola University of the South School of Dentistry in 1955. He served in the United States Air Force as Captain, with a tour of duty in the Northeast Air Command in Greenland. He entered full time private practice of Family Dentistry in 1957 in New Orleans and Metairie, until he retired from Dentistry in 1995. He was an avid fisherman, duck hunter and trainer/handler of his yellow Labrador retrievers, some of whom attained AKC and UKC National titles. He was an active member and held offices in the Pontchartrain Hunting Retriever Club for many years until his illness. He served as President of the Spring Lake Homeowners Association. In the early 1980's he indulged his wife's passion for figure skating and the Figure Skating Club of New Orleans by becoming a co-owner of Ice Sports Pavilion in Jefferson Parish, and was active in the building, management and maintenance of the facility, even learning to operate the Zamboni machine to resurface the ice. For many years he served on the Boards of the New Orleans and Louisiana Associations for Retarded Citizens devoted to their goals. In 1998 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the ARC of Greater New Orleans. His greatest devotion was to his activities in the Knights of Columbus. His father had been a member of N.O Council 714, and his uncle of Council 1905. Dr. Cook joined Cardinal Gibbons Council 2918 in 1957, and served as recorder, chancellor, and Grand Knight. He functioned as State and Supreme Convention Chairman, co-chairman of Y. E. P., General Program Chairman, State Council Activity Chairman, District Deputy, State Treasurer and State Secretary. In 1982-1984, he was elected as the 38th State Deputy for the Louisiana Jurisdiction, during which time record accomplishments were achieved. Following this, he became a director of the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council Board of Directors, serving the maximum 9 years. This gave him the opportunity to have several private audiences with the Pope, and also with Mother Theresa. An especially important moment for me as a Catholic and a Knight was receiving Holy Communion from Pope John Paul II at the Papal Mass held in New Orleans in September, 1987. He was a member of Darro Caravan. He served as Vice-Supreme Master of Bienville Province of the Fourth Degree of the K of C and became a Knight of St. Gregory the Great in 1989. He was a Knight Commander of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, and Commander in the Order of the Fleur-de-Lis with life membership.

He departed this life on Monday, September 8, 2008 at his home in New Orleans, Louisiana. At an early age he was baptized at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, and was an active member of Saint David Catholic Church for over 65 years. After Hurricane Katrina he became a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel until his departure. Freddie grew up in the lower ninth ward and attended McCarty Elementary School. He was an assertive, hard working student driven to succeed. He received an honorable discharge for his service in the U.S. Army for tour of duty during World War II. He was a known entreperneur. He owned an oprated several business including: clubs, a construction company, restaurants, and taxi cabs. At a young age, Freddie discovered that music was indeed his passion, he worked hard to develop that talent, and became known as a noted "Jazz Musician". Freddie "Mr. Trumpter" loved playing his trumpet. He was lead musician for renown musicians such as: his cousin, Antoine"Fats" Domino, Al Hirt, Dave Bartholomew, Billy Diamond, Ernie K-Doe, Reggie Hall, and Jessie Hill, just to name a few. He was known as a consummate musician and trumpet player. He and his band traveled to California to play for the famous 5-4 Ballroom in Los Angeles, California. Freddie also performed at California State University, Dominquez Hills in Carson, California to celebrate Black History Week. He took many new musicians under his wings and provided them with an opportunity to become well-known as musicians. In other words, they looked upon him with great respect and admiration as a great trumpet player and band leader and sort his knowledge and ability to play the trumpet. These inexperienced musicians came from all over Louisiana looking for an opportunity to play with this well-known trumpet player, Freddie Dominio. Freddie, indeed, cast along shadow in the jazz world -- in the state of Louisiana in general, and in the city of New Orleans in particular. He will be greatly missed by jazz musicians and his fans throughout the city of New Orleans. Hopefully, musicians (trumpet players in particular) will carry on his legacy for many years to come.

This is the kind of life one reads about in books or sees in make-believe movies. But, this was reality. Mrs. Hardial Kaur, born on 14 January, 1914 in India, she was the youngest of four children. Her father was Sardar Bahadur Captain Dr. Kartar Singh who practiced medicine in Kisumu, Kenya. She was just a toddler when her mother, Partap Kaur, died.

D. Pharm. She never had a formal education beyond primary school, yet her authority left little doubt of her scholarship. Always an avid, multi-lingual student, she, never-the-less, regretted not having learned English. That lack was no deterrent when she undertook a world tour, at the age of 85, with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. May Singh, who is Scottish and speaks only English. Living in New Orleans for the last two decades with her youngest son, Dr. Balminder Singh Mangat MD, and his wife Raghubir Kaur Mangat MD and their two children, Simrin Singh Mangat and Chathan Singh Mangat, she accepted her losses with equal grace and courage including the loss of her husband, Sardar Jagir Singh, her son, Dr. Harjit Singh, and her son-in-law, Mr. Balwinderjeet Singh Brar. She is survived by a son, four daughters, two daughters-in-law, 12 grand children and 8 great-grand children living all over the globe.

Mrs. Kirksey, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, aunt and friend of an abundant family and circle of dear ones who cherished every moment in her presence. Preceded in death by her loving husband, Coach G.C. Kirksey, her parents Dr. & Mrs. J. O. Fulton, she was the last remaining sibling of her family. A native of Union, MS., she moved throughout the Delta, Hill Country and Gulf Coast with Coach, settling in Pass Christian, MS, where he was a teacher, coach and principal. It was Pass Christian she called home and where her family and friends built volumes of memories. Seven years ago she relocated to Raymond, MS, to be closer to her daughters and their families. An avid golfer, she loved to play and watch the game. She was also a truly green-thumbed gardener and a meticulous homemaker. But her highest claimed accomplishment was her family. She is survived by her three daughters and their families: Donna & Bill Durr, Sandra Luke, and Wanda & John Payne all of Raymond, MS. No one was more full of pride when she was surrounded by her grandchildren who called her "Sue"; Deryll Durr & his wife Melissa of Brandon, Dannon Durr & his wife Julie of Raymond, Dacia (Durr) Amis & her husband Eddie of Clinton, Dori (Durr) Bullock & her husband Britt of Raymond, Bryant Luke & his wife Adrianna of Lake Mary, FL, Melissa (Payne) Dixon & her husband Tim of Shreveport, LA, and Heather (Payne) Watkins & her husband Richard of Raymond, MS. Our Sue was so full of joy when all her great-grandchildren were running in and out of her home, loving to be in her company and listening to her funny stories. Her great-grandchildren are Ashley, Rachael, Brittney and Michael Durr of Brandon; Ashton, William, Madison, Peri & Nash Durr of Raymond; Morgan and Molli Grace Amis of Clinton; Gavin, Clay & Brayden Bullock of Raymond; Ashley & Taylor Luke of Lake Mary, FL; Jamey and Bailey Dixon of Shreveport and Andrew and Nicholas Watkins of Raymond. Last though certainly not least, the birth of Sue's great, great-granddaughter, Emily Krick, put Sue on top of the world as she witnessed the fifth generation of the Kirksey lineage begin. Sue's Christian walk has crossed the path of many she mentored and counseled. We are comforted knowing she knew Jesus as her Lord & Saviour and her heaven home awaits her. Sue will be greatly missed as she leaves us a legacy of love which will remain forever. Friends are welcomed by medium of press.

Leavell II, President Emeritus at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, age 81, died Sept. 26, 2008 in Wichita Falls, Texas. Born in Ripley, Tenn., Nov. 26, 1926, Leavell was raised in Newnan, Ga., where his father, Dr. Leonard O. Leavell, served as pastor of the First Baptist Church. On July 28, 1953 he married Jo Ann Paris of New Orleans, a graduate of Sophie Newcomb College. He went on to become the President of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and one of the most influential Southern Baptist leaders of his generation. Leavell was ordained to the gospel ministry in 1948 and began pastoring a church in Mississippi during his time as a student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Leavell earned a B.A. in English from Mercer University and a B.D. degree and a Th.D. in New Testament and Greek from NOBTS. During his 27 years as a pastor, Leavell served at Union Baptist Church in Magnolia, Miss. (1948- 1951); Crosby Baptist Church in Crosby, Miss. (1951-53); First Baptist Church in Charleston, Miss. (1953-1956); First Baptist Church in Gulfport, Miss. (1956-1963) and First Baptist Church in Wichita Falls, Texas (1963-1975). Leavell served in many capacities in the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist General Convention of Texas and the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board. He was First Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1968 and President of the SBC Pastors Conference in 1971. Leavell served as President of the Baptist General Convention of Texas from 1971 to 1973. Since his retirement Leavell served on the Board of Trustees at Mississippi College. Leavell shared a life-long love of and passion for quail hunting. He was a dedicated father who traveled untold miles following his sons' football and basketball careers. His oldest son said, "He was a tough fighter to the end; he just didn't have much left to fight with. There are a lot of tracks in the sand behind him. I would hope my rear view mirror was so crowded." In addition to his denominational roles, Leavell was an active community leader serving with a number of civic groups including the Mayor's Bi-Racial Committee in Gulfport Miss.; the Board of United Fund and Child Welfare Board of Wichita Falls, Texas; and the Rotary Club of New Orleans. He was also long-time trustee of Baptist Hospital in New Orleans. Upon the sale of Baptist Hospital, he became a founding trustee of Baptist Community Ministries, a foundation developed to administer the assets generated from the sale. Reflecting its Baptist heritage, the foundation from its inception, has invested its resources in meeting the health and educational needs of the citizens of the New Orleans area. Upon the occasion of his retirement from the seminary, Baptist Community Ministries created an endowed faculty chair in psychology and counseling in his honor. Friends of Dr. Leavell also created an endowed faculty chair in New Testament and Greek that bears his name. The City of New Orleans designated a portion of the campus as Leavell Lane in honor of the many contributions of he and his uncle, Roland Q. Leavell. Seminary trustees named the Center for Evangelism and Church Growth in his honor as well. Among Leavell's key honors include the George Washington Honor Medal Award from the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge, Pa., the Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation, and the J.D. Grey Preaching Award from the Louisiana Moral and Civic Foundation. Leavell was elected as President of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in January 1975. He served in that role until his retirement Dec. 31, 1994. Leavell served as interim president until Dec. 31, 1995. "By any standard of measurement, Dr. Leavell is one of the greatest presidents that this seminary ever had," said current NOBTS President Dr. Chuck Kelley. During his presidency the seminary experienced record growth, outstanding success in fund raising and a significant expansion of its campus. The campus became known by all who visited as one of the most beautiful spots in New Orleans. Leavell believed that the care and preparation of a minister's family was as important as the preparation of the minister. He enhanced the campus recreation facilities, and along with his wife, Jo Ann, gave great attention to the needs of student wives. The Leavells launched many initiatives to assist student wives including free educational programs, an endowment to buy clothes for student wives and the Leavell Lecture Series. The Leavell Lecture Series was established by the Leavell family to honor Mrs. Leonard O. Leavell, Dr. Leavell's mother. The series honors Mrs. Leavell's work as a minister's wife and is designed encourage those student wives who will one day serve in that role. He often arranged for free child care for campus events to enable wives to participate in seminary life. During his 20-year tenure, the seminary became an innovator in theological education while continuing to emphasize evangelism, missions and local church ministry. Under Leavell's leadership New Orleans Seminary established a network of extension centers throughout the Southeast. Leavell also invested in educational technology. He introduced compressed interactive video (CIV), which connects classrooms in different cities for real-time audio and video interaction. His innovations helped the seminary offer world- class theological education to even more God-called men and women. During Leavell's presidency, NOBTS also established the first center for evangelism and church growth in the Southern Baptist Convention, connecting the resources and expertise of the seminary with needs of local churches throughout the SBC. Leavell also was the driving force behind the re-establishment of the seminary's undergraduate program. His uncle Roland Leavell, who served as the seminary's president from 1946 until 1958, started the School of Christian Training in 1954. However, the school closed a few years later. Landrum Leavell envisioned an accredited college that would offer ministry training to adult students without college degrees. He restarted the school in 1976 with only 30 students. Now more than 1,000 men and women study at the undergraduate college. Four of the other five SBC seminaries now have similar programs. In 2003, the school was renamed Leavell College in honor of the seminary's two Leavell presidents. A gifted writer, Leavell authored or contributed to 14 books including "Angels, Angels, Angels" and "Twelve Who Followed Jesus." Survivors include his wife of 55 years, JoAnn Paris Leavell, children: Dr. Landrum P. Leavell III and Susanne of Denton, Texas, Ann Leavell Beauchamp of Greensboro, Ga., Roland Q.

Times Picayune 9/23/2008 **************************************** 000706 RePass - Margaret "Peggy" Allingham Follett RePass, 90, of 2420 Adams Street died September 6, shortly after returning from the recent evacuation of the city. She was born Margaret Estelle Follett --- but later changed her middle name to Allingham -- on December 30, 1917 in New Orleans, the oldest of the three daughters of John Bradbury Follett and Estelle Chesnutt Follett. She was educated in the public schools of New Orleans, was graduated in 1939 from Newcomb College with a Fine Arts degree, and earned a Master's in Art History from NYU. While in New York City, she was introduced by a cousin to her future husband Francis ("Frank") M. RePass, Jr., also of New Orleans, a graduate of New Orleans Academy and Tulane. Until her marriage in 1942 to Frank RePass she worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The couple lived in Philadelphia, Boston and White Plains during and shortly after WWII, and moved to Stratford, Connecticut in 1950. Peggy later earned an Education degree at the University of Bridgeport, and taught art, a subject in which she passionately believed, to Stratford schoolchildren for 21 years. She was beloved by them. She retired to New Orleans in 1980, three years after the death of her husband. Active in Christ Episcopal Church, Stratford, for 30 years, after her return to New Orleans she soon renewed, and continued until her death, her long-time membership in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Peggy continued for years as an active painter, once in the 80's being called "the foremost active watercolorist in New Orleans ". Her knowledge and appreciation of all the arts, performance as well as fine arts, was broad. Peggy's travels in her later life were finally curtailed only by her medical inability to endure Southeast Asian summers. In order to travel more successfully, she refreshed her high school French, and taught herself conversational Italian, Spanish, Greek (and, one summer, Latin). In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her oldest son, Frank M. RePass III, a New Orleans attorney, her two younger sisters Dorothy ("Dotsie") and Mary Ann ("Ya Ya"), and her grand-nephew Timothy Rosencrans. She is survived by her adopted son and New Orleans native James P. RePass Jr. of Boston, and her youngest son, John Follett RePass (Archimandrite Juvenaly) of Kodiak Island, AK, as well as her sister-in-law, Mary Jane RePass, of Marrero, LA. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Cindy Seghers RePass, and grandchildren Elizabeth V. RePass of New York City, Frank M. RePass IV of Savannah, GA., and Sarah and Eleanor RePass of New Orleans. Also, by daughter-in-law Rosemary Anne Lyons RePass of Boston, and grandson James P. RePass Jr. of the United States Navy, as well as her beloved niece Nancy Marshall, who became the daughter she had never had, and Nancy's husband Steve Rosencrans, who was a great and devoted friend, and their children Willy, Louie, Margaret, Robert, as well as nephew Rudy Marshall and his wife Lorraine Milio of Maryland; also, by nephew Frank Ramos of Las Vegas, NV, and niece Dorothy Ramos Walsh and husband Timothy Walsh of Natchez, MS, and their children, Jessica and Allison. She is also survived by Louise Ross, who cared for her with great love and patience toward the end of her life. A lover of art, music, literature, Peggy was an avid crossword puzzler, and up until the end of her life continued to work the New York Times crossword puzzle every Sunday, in ink. A fierce defender of animals and of the environment, and of the poor and disenfranchised, she was raised in the vanished South of the 1920's and 30's, with all its beauty and horror, even appearing as a ghostly child in the 1948 classic "Ghosts Along The Mississippi" by Clarence John Laughlin. As a child she summered at her family's plantation home in Alabama. She spent her life opposed to bigotry and hate, and supporting those who had no voice. When the Daughters of the American Revolution banned African-American singer Marian Anderson from performing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC in 1936, Peggy supported Eleanor Roosevelt's decision to resign and she herself refused to be considered for membership. She was feisty to the very end, and brave, and suffered few fools in her long and wonderful life. Burial will be at Union Cemetery in Stratford, Connecticut, alongside her late husband Frank M. RePass Jr. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM September 20 at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in New Orleans. Please sign Guest Book at obits.nola.com/NOLA/DeathNotices.asp.

He attended Texas A&M University. When World War II interrupted his undergraduate studies, he was drafted into the US Army. After the war he returned to Texas A&M and completed his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering. He became a professor at Tulane University, where he met his first wife. Upon being recalled by the military he spent several years in Stuttgart, Germany. Returning from Germany, he became head of the Physics Department at Centenary College. When his wife wanted to return to her native town of New Orleans, he moved there and never left. John, through his years of creative work, contributed to the success of both J. Ray McDermott Oil Company and NASA. At NASA, his life changed forever. While working to apply mathematical concepts to plastic materials, he became intrigued with the invention of various products. From this background, he invented the inflatable amusement ride known as the Space Walk. An entrepreneur at heart, he then took on the risk of founding a business of selling and renting Space Walks. From meager beginnings, the company grew to be a very popular inflatable amusement ride giving tremendous joy to people throughout the world. John developed other products using air and plastic, including a safety air cushion designed to rescue people forced to jump from high-rise buildings during fires. The cushion also became popular among Hollywood stunt men. John was founder and president of Space Walk Inc. and Safety Air Cushion, Inc. in Metairie. He was involved in sports his entire life. Originally, a baseball player, John made it to the semi- professional level, but above all he truly loved tennis. He was the happiest when he was playing, watching or giving his opinion on tennis. He played at numerous courts, but especially liked Beach Club. He loved attending the U. S. Open. As a result of his rural background, John liked nothing better than returning to his small hometown, Center, Texas. In 2003, he was honored to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award from Center High School, as well as an induction into their Hall of Fame. During the latter stages of his life, he loved spending time with his extensive family near Toledo Bend, looking at the sunset. John's first wife, Francis, passed away in 1990. John then married his second wife, Patricia (Patti) Blackwell Scurlock. John and Patti loved and supported each other throughout their marriage. She was blessed and honored to be married to him. John's life was very fulfilling. The things he accomplished in life would not have been possible without tremendous persistence. It will be hard to imagine life without his presence among family and friends. Special thanks are extended to Dr. F. Dugan, the scheduling department, and nurses in the East Jefferson Cardiology Department.

She was born on March 6, 1912 in New Orleans, Louisiana, a daughter of the late Joseph Charles Tremoulet and Dot Forstall Tremoulet. A New Orleans native and nearly lifelong resident, she moved to Charlotte in the wake of Katrina at age 92 to live with her cousin's daughter, Lise Eltz McStravick, formerly of New Orleans. Ms. Tremoulet was long retired from her position as the Assistant Manager of the Money Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New Orleans, where she had worked for 42 years. Throughout her career, she was active in professional banking associations and served as an officer upon several occasions. She excelled at nurturing others. In retirement, she provided care to her sister, Olga A. Tremoulet, and brother Pierre A. Tremoulet and assisted other aging relatives, neighbors in Gentilly and friends.

A life-long native of New Orleans, LA, she was born in Touro, too. She attended Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans, and then went on to Vassar College, from which she graduated in 1942 with a degree in Mathematics. Following the death of her mother in 1942, she returned to New Orleans and went to work for Chevron (then Standard Oil of California). As a mathematician, she tracked Chevron's reserves in the Gulf of Mexico. After the end of the Second World War, Chevron's policy was to dismiss its female technical staff to make room for returning GIs. However, Olga's boss intervened to save her, so Olga became one of the few women holding technical positions at Chevron at that time. Following in her father's footsteps, Olga loved to golf, and was a longtime member of the New Orleans Country Club. In addition, she was a sophisticated traveler, traveling throughout Europe and the Far East. Her experience traveling allowed her to treat life's difficulties with aplomb; after surviving Katrina with little damage, her house on Robert Street burned to the ground last September 28, 2007, leaving Olga with nothing but the clothes on her back and a purse. This did not faze her in the least; she joked that it made it much easer for her to move. As well as by her parents, she was predeceased by her two brothers: F.J. Hardoncourt Trepagnier and Henry L. Trepagnier, Jr. She is survived by two nephews: Pierre C. of Medford, MA and Hardoncourt B. of Emmaus, PA; and two nieces: Cathron (Trepagnier) Birge of Springfield, VA and Nathalie (Trepagnier) Smith of Mount Holly, VA; as well as by grandnephews and -nieces.

The family settled in Detroit, where Hilda was confirmed at Pilgrim Lutheran Church. She returned to Germany at the age of 14 to spend two years with her aunts. Hilda experienced the political tumult in Germany prior to the outbreak of WW II, while she learned the proper way to keep house and read the German Bible.

She found antiques to refinish and continued painting in oil and watercolor. Hilda was active in supporting Trinity Lutheran Church in Covington, Louisiana; she and her husband,Vaino, enjoyed recruiting and entertaining new pastors. By 1984 Vaino had retired and the couple moved to Austin, Texas, to be closer to new grandchildren. Hilda remained devout and active in Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church after she was widowed and moved to an assisted living residence.

Walker, who advised candidates for president, governor, U.S. Senate, Congress and a host of state and local offices, died Thursday in Lafayette after a sudden illness. He was 74. Mr. Walker was the founder and president of Joe Walker Research, one of the South's leading political polling firms. His clients numbered in the hundreds and included the late Hubert H. Humphrey, former Gov. Edwin Edwards, Louisiana Chief Justice Pascal Calogero, former U.S. Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, former Congresswoman Lindy Boggs, former Jefferson Parish DA John Mamoulides, the late Jefferson Sheriff Harry Lee, Mayor Ray Nagin, former Mayors Chep Morrison, Moon Landrieu and Sidney Barthelemy, Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard, former state Senate President Sammy Nunez, and many others across Louisiana's colorful political landscape. In many ways, Mr. Walker was as colorful as some of his clients. His legendary love of politics was matched by his love of life in New Orleans, particularly its food and watering holes, both of which fueled his sometimes-fiery analysis of local, state and national politics. He was an avid champion for the principles of political justice and constitutional law. He loved the Constitution of the United States and felt that it was designed to serve humanity at all levels, and he was passionate about his beliefs regarding the role and responsibilities of government in society. He also was a mentor to several generations of public officials and students of government and politics. Because of his unique persona, he also made politics and government fun. From the early 1970s until the mid-1990s, Mr. Walker was the on-air pollster and analyst for WDSU-TV. He earned his stripes in the cliffhanger gubernatorial election of 1971, when he accurately called the Democratic runoff for then-Congressman Edwin Edwards over then-state Sen. Bennett Johnston. He later served as an on-air analyst for WGNO-TV in New Orleans and KATC-TV in Lafayette. A native of Auburn, Miss., Mr. Walker was educated in the public schools of New Orleans. He never forgot, however, that as a child he picked cotton on his grandfather's farm in Mississippi during the Great Depression. A veteran of the Korean Conflict, Mr. Walker met his wife, the late Theresa Tencza Walker, while both were serving in the Air Force. Their Air Force duties took them around the globe, but they eventually moved to New Orleans so that Mr. Walker could continue his education. Mr. Walker was a member of the first graduating class at the University of New Orleans, then known as LSUNO, in 1962, graduating cum laude with a degree in government. He later obtained a master's degree in political science at Tulane University. In addition to polling for candidates, private companies and attorneys seeking help with jury selection, Mr. Walker taught political science and constitutional law for four years at both Loyola and Tulane Universities. He also was an annual lecturer at the Loyola Institute of Politics. He had a life-long love for the University of New Orleans. At the age of 24, he enrolled in the university's first freshman class on the GI Bill. He left the military with honors, having earned the rank of captain. While at UNO, he helped quell budding racial tensions and formed the first student government association. After his graduation, he founded and was the first president of the UNO Alumni Association. In 1996, the university honored him with a "life achievement award" presented by UNO's founding chancellor, the late Dr. Homer Hitt, and then- Chancellor Gregory O'Brien. He is the only UNO graduate to have received the award. Mr. Walker was preceded in death by his mother, Ola Mae Nettles Cheleno, his stepfather, Joseph F. Cheleno, and his father, Dan Ray Walker, and his former wife, the late Theresa Tencza Walker. He is survived by a sister, Joann Cheleno Perrien; a daughter, Valerie Rose Walker of River Ridge; and five sons, Ronald Joseph Walker of Hammond; Randolph Paul Walker, Richard Eugene Walker and Roger William Walker of Metairie; and Robert Allen Walker of Prairieville, La.; and eight grandchildren. A secular memorial celebration of Mr. Walker's life will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of the Lindy C. Boggs Conference Center at the UNO Research and Technology Park, 2045 Lakeshore Drive, with a reception immediately following.
