000001	ABADIE "A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by
others." - The Wizard of Oz Karen Reinerth Abadie, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter,
and friend, passed away on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 in the presence of her loving family. She
was 53 years old and was a life-long resident of the New Orleans area. Karen is survived by her
loving husband of 30 years, Kent F. Abadie, three loving children, Jennifer, Ryan, and
Elizabeth Abadie. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Jacqueline Volpi Abadie, and
granddaughter, Ava Abadie. She is also survived by her parents, Charles and Mercedes Reinerth,
two brothers, Bobby and Jon Reinerth, and sister and best friend, Kim Marin. She is survived by
two nephews, Matthew Marin and Bobby Reinerth, and two nieces, Melissa Marin and Morgan Torres.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Peter and Rita Ascani, and Charles and Hortense
Reinerth. She was a loving mom to her pets, Beau, Tinsley, Stella, and Skybird. Karen was a
graduate of Archbishop Chapelle High School, and a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. She was
not only an extraordinary mother; Karen was a committed volunteer and dedicated her time to
East Jefferson General Hospital Emergency Room, St. Philip Neri School, St. Mary's Dominican
High School, and Brother Martin High School. Karen was an active member of the East Jefferson
General Hospital Auxillary and the X Club. Karen was passionate about her family and her home,
touching the lives of so many with her annual Halloween party and family events. She was a
compassionate person with a lifelong mission to make all of whom she encountered feel special.
She knew her mission was accomplished with a smile, laugh or sparkle from one's eyes. The
warmth of her heart instantly established her presence in any venue. Countless lives have been
touched by this wonderful woman. A ray of sunshine has faded from our lives. Karen was generous
and caring. She was funny and always the life of the party. She loved children, especially her
granddaughter, Ava, who was the light of her life. We will all miss her so very much.

be Saturday, August 8th at St. Anna's Episcopal Church, New Orleans. Connie was beloved by
friends and family not only for her zest for life and hospitality but also for her lifelong
devotion to the causes she held dear. A visionary in her field, Connie believed in improving
the quality of life for the elderly in the communities she called home, as well as advocacy for
policy and programming at the state and national levels. Her leadership helped develop programs
for mature adults which are regarded as models throughout the country. Connie began her life's
work in the late 1960's as the Assistant Commissioner for the Florida Commission on Aging,
rising to serve as its Chief in 1971. She then served as the Principal Investigator for the
federal research program Agency on Aging Concept. Connie moved from Florida to New Orleans in
1975 as an Associate Professor of Sociology and researcher for Newcomb College. Connie's gifts
for innovation were quickly recognized by Catholic Charities of New Orleans and she served as
the Director of Elderly Social Services Program and Housing for their Division of Elderly
Services until 1986. Under her direction, Lambeth House was created to serve the long-term care
needs for seniors and is now an icon of residential care in the New Orleans area. Her legacy
continued from 1986 through 2005 as she created and shepherded the development of Our Lady of
the Lake's Division of Elderly Services, a comprehensive array of services to meet the medical,
social, emotional and housing needs of mature adults in the Baton Rouge area. A testament to
her vision and tireless commitment, the programs which she started continue today and have
served thousands of families over the years. In 2005, Connie's work and leadership were
recognized nationally with the Meritorious Service Award presented by the American Association
of Homes and Services for the Aging. In addition to her career, Connie selflessly volunteered
for many organizations particularly those non-profit groups that addressed the needs of the
elderly. An Episcopalian, Connie was equally passionate about the Church and was an active
parishioner throughout her life. Her network of friends reached across many miles and continued
to grow larger with each year. Most recently, she was an active member of St. Anna's Episcopal
Church in New Orleans and St. Alban's Chapel in Baton Rouge. Connie helped found two mission
churches, St. Matthew's in St. Petersburg, Florida and St. Michael's and all Angels in Cancun,
Mexico. Connie held degrees from the University of South Florida in Tampa and Florida State
University in Tallahassee. She also attended the University of Havana, Cuba. Connie is survived
by her daughters Constance Alison Walker of Baton Rouge and Adrienne Walker Hartsock of New
Orleans; her son, Derek Montgomery Walker of Tallahassee, Florida; grandchildren, Robert and
Andrew Hartsock and Cody and Madison Walker; and by her cousin, Evelyn Miller of St.
Petersburg, Florida. She was preceded in death by her husband Wallace Sherman "Skip" Clark; her
parents, George and Ethel Grimm; sister, Jean Grimm Kornick; and brother, Donald Grimm. The
family wishes to thank friends and caregivers who have been especially helpful during Connie's
illness, in particular, St. Clare Manor staff, CVT physicians and staff, Our Lady of the Lake
physicians and staff, St. Joseph's Hospice staff, and Nursing Care Connections staff. The love
and prayers have been a source of comfort and support throughout Connie's life. In keeping with
Connie's joie de vivre, a celebration of her life will be held on August 8th at Cosimo's Bar
following the interment. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady of the Lake

000248	DAIGLE Sr. Odette Daigle, STJ, beloved member of the Society of St. Teresa of Jesus,
died on Wednesday, July 1, 2009, in San Antonio, Texas, after spending a day in the hospital.
She died as she had lived - peacefully and graciously - after receiving the sacrament of the
sick. Although she had suffered from heart disease for years, her infirmity never kept her from
enjoying life to the fullest. She was 93 years young. Born in 1916, in Plattenville, Louisiana,
the eighth of 10 children, she spent much of her childhood in New Orleans. All of her brothers
and sisters are deceased, but she is survived by many nephews and nieces, and their children,
who love her dearly. In 1930, at the age of 14, she entered the Society of St. Teresa of Jesus,
and a few years later began teaching at St. Louis Cathedral School in New Orleans, where she
herself had been a student; later she served as its principal for four years. Beginning in
1954, Sr. Odette was part of the Society's foundation at Colegio Teresiano in Managua,
Nicaragua, where she was principal. In 1958 she helped with another foundation in Jennings, LA,
and served there as superior, principal, teacher, and provincial councilor. From 1961 until
1964 she directed the novices in San Antonio, Texas; in 1964 she became the Provincial, and
three years later went to Rome after being appointed general councilor for the Society. After
returning from Rome in 1975, she continued serving as superior, teacher, and provincial
councilor in River Ridge, New Orleans and Slidell, all in Louisiana. Sr. Odette retired in
1989, but continued serving the community in New Orleans as superior until 2000; in 2005 she
transferred to San Antonio after the devastation of Katrina. At St. Teresa's convent in San
Antonio, Sr. Odette continued sharing her good spirit, her wonderful zest for life and her
gentle, peaceful ways with all those around her. Her sisters, family and friends, especially
all who worked with her, will miss her greatly, but we are all grateful for the gift of having
known her. Times Picayune 7-09-2009

expressed pleasure at retiring just as personal computers began to proliferate. After
retirement, Mary spent many hours volunteering at the Lighthouse for the Blind. Mary Irvin, a

July 16th at Canon Hospice with her son, Stanley A. Millan, Esq. and daughter Carol A. Millan
and close friend Patricia Page and Craig Trahan, at her side, and daughter Mary Millan on the
phone at her ear when she took her final breath and was released to heaven. She died from
complications from stroke and a long valiant battle with leukemia. She will be sadly missed by
all that knew her and always loved by her children and 3 grandchildren Jagger Scibilia, Brendan
Millan, Amanda Millan, one great-grandchild, Chloe, daughter-in-law, Pattie Millan and son-in-
law Matthew Pouliot. The family deeply appreciates the kindness the Canon entire stall
demonstrated. Beverly's greatest love in life was her family and her faith. She graduated from
St. Joseph's Convent Academy and achieved the rank of Novice Sister of St. Joseph in her
younger years where she intended on taking final vows, but left the convent but never left her
spirituality. She later married I. Stanley Millan, now deceased and raised a loving family.
Beverly's greatest joy in life was her children. Beverly's greatest fun in life was dancing and
movies. On the way to the hospital, without solicitation she proclaimed "well I had my fun in
this life while dancing". She danced the night away until she was 80 years old and it kept her
young. She not only loved dancing, it loved her, for she won many meritorious awards on her
dancing achievements. She will be sadly missed but one can not help to have a silent smile
within those tears as we envision her dancing an eternal waltz in paradise, twirling with the
angels. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE

001021	WARREN Veteran WYLD-AM Personality Georgie "NOLA Parish" Warren Dies at 89 Georgie
Warren, a popular radio celebrity who wove her homemaking expertise between selections of
classic jazz artists such as Arthur Prysock, Lena Horne and Dinah Washington, died July 13 in
Atlanta, GA. The personable Mrs. Warren, who had a passion for good living, commanded the
midday mike at WYLD-AM for more than a decade during the late 60s and early 70s, sharing tips
on good housekeeping and nutrition as the host of the daily "NOLA Parish Show." "I remember
listening to my mother on the radio when I was in high school," said daughter Kathy Warren
Augustine, currently the Deputy Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction for the Atlanta
Public Schools. "Thirty years later, many people still recognized her on the street as 'NOLA
Parish.'" Her role at WYLD included personal appearances in New Orleans area communities, where
she shared her homemaking and nutritional expertise with residents. She later worked in the
community full-time, as a member of the Louisiana State University Cooperative Extension
Service staff, providing life skills training to families in the Central City area. Mrs. Warren
was born Georgie Leah Garner in Ninety Six, South Carolina and was reared by several aunts in
Atlanta, after she and her five siblings were orphaned. Ms. Warren attended Clark College,
where she began her lifelong commitment to her beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She later
transferred to Wilberforce University in Ohio, where she earned her bachelor's degree and
attended graduate school. She began her professional career as an English and Home Economics
teacher at her Atlanta alma mater, Booker T. Washington High School. While in Atlanta, she met
a handsome young Army Lieutenant, Freddie B. Warren, Jr. On January 26, 1946, the pair married
and later moved to his hometown of New Orleans, where he became a well-known attorney. The
affable Warrens were a vital part of the New Orleans social scene, amassing an army of close
friends through memberships in a variety of social clubs, including the Kiskis Bridge Club and
the Groupies Social and Pleasure Club. True to the spirit of "NOLA Parish," Georgie Warren
doted on her small family-daughter Kathy, son Freddie III and her husband-catering to their
every need. She was widowed in 1997, after 51 years of marriage. Hours before Hurricane Katrina
made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, Mrs. Warren was whisked out of the city to her
daughter's home in Atlanta. Several months later, she established residency at Stone Mountain
Estates Assisted Living in Stone Mountain, where she quickly made new friends, adopting them as
her second family. She died on Monday, July 13, 2009 at Emory University Hospital, following a
brief illness. Mrs. Warren is survived by her devoted daughter, Kathy Warren Augustine and son,
Freddie B. Warren III; grandchildren: Philip M. and Cicely J. Augustine, Freddie B. IV, Cordell
C. and Pierre M. Warren; and great-grandchildren: Tahj N. and Sonaé Warren; nieces and nephews:
Leon Garner, Janice Garner, Evelyn Garner Head, Patricia Arnold and Karen Arnold Robbins;
great-nieces and nephews; a large extended family; son-in-law Philip Augustine, daughter-in-law
Sharon White Warren, and a wealth of longtime friends and thousands of others whose lives she
touched. Final services are scheduled Monday, July 20, 2009 at St. Leo/St. Raymond Catholic
Church, 2916 Paris Avenue, New Orleans. Visitation is at 9 o'clock a.m. Mass begins at 10:00
a.m. Burial follows at Saint Louis Cemetery, No. 3 in New Orleans. Arrangements by DW Rhodes
