She was born in Foggia, Italy, was raised during the years of World War II, and suffered hardship at an early age after the loss of her family's business and her loving mother, causing her to be raised thereafter by Catholic nuns. She traveled to England to attend college and later became a U.S. citizen. She loved to travel, cook, and spend time with her son, other family members, and friends in Italy and the U.S. She was the devoted mother of her son, Marco Stovall Bodellini; a better mother no son could ever ask for. As a working mother, she raised her son with compassion and great sacrifice. In the early years of parenthood and in times of great financial hardship, she always provided for her son, as in the many times when there was little food available, went without so that her young son could have a meal. She had recently celebrated her ten year kidney transplant anniversary at the Tulane Medical Center "Gift of Life" celebration at Audubon Zoo where she was able to spend a rare day of enjoyment with limited members of the family and close friends. Special thanks to the specialists, doctors, residents, nurses, staff, and police officers of the Tulane Medical Center as well as the home healthcare providers for all of the kindness, understanding, and dedication shown during her difficult times and the procedures performed to allow for her son a special gift, the gift of allowing him to spend more time with his mother. Much appreciation is also extended to Senator Mary Landrieu for her willingness to assist my mother in our family's time of need. Additional gratitude is due to her family and friends in both the U.S. and Italy for their love and companionship, especially during difficult times. She was preceded in death by her brother, Paolo Bodellini and left behind many friends and relatives in New Orleans as well as Modena, Ravenna, Alexandria, and other cities throughout Italy. Serena initially worked as a teacher, spoke multiple languages, and then worked as an interpreter before becoming a commodity trader, and was actively involved with the Chicago Board of Trade. She was known as a "hard worker" and retired after working her entire career, with sacrifice, dedication and loyalty, for the Ravenna based family conglomerate Ferruzzi Group, after working in both the local Myrtle Grove office at the Mississippi Grain Elevator in Plaquemines Parish and the Italian based Ravenna corporate headquarter office. During her career, she worked directly for the family's top executive management and suffered the death of her boss, as a result of a plane crash in 1979. Upon retirement and before encountering limitations caused by her health, she was very active and enjoyed her passion of sailing with friends in the Mediterranean Sea and beyond. She was a member of the Tulane University Woman's Society and the New Orleans Secular Humanist Association, a true friend of her friends, and a loving mother whose presence will be missed with much sorrow and regret. Family and friends are welcome to attend a non-denominational visitation ceremony that will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the Tharp-Sontheimer-Tharp Funeral Home, 1600 N.

He was the caring father of Stephanie, Alisa, and Sean. Those who knew "Rip" Hansen knew a real and genuine friend, an upright, moral, and ethical man. A gentleman, and a gentle man, real anger was not part of his being. He was a man who meant just what he said, and did business with a handshake; he was at the same time strong and soft-spoken. For we who are left behind on the journey to the undiscovered country, great sadness and profound loss are tempered by the love of this man. Grief and longing for him reflect our own selfish desire to have just a little more time with him. Men like him deserve to be remembered, and emulated. Raise a toast to a life well lived… It was his wish that his earthly remains be donated to the L.S.U. Medical School for the advancement of science.

He was the son of Emmanual Pierre and Angeline Hook Labatut of Pointe Couppee Parish. His family dated back to the late 1700's in Lousiana. His ancestors being one of the early families of Louisiana with important roles in the history of New Orleans and of Louisiana. He was a direct descendant of Jean Baptiste Labatut who was Attorney General of the Cabildo prior to the Louisiana Purchase, the First Treasurer of the City of New Orleans at the start of the American Administration, and Brig. General and Aide to Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. In Ivy's time, things were tougher with the depression of the 1930s and World War II. Ivy was a hard working man with a loving heart who strived to make things better for his children than they were for himself. He was born and grew up on The River Road at Brooks, La. (Pointe Coupee). In 1930 Ivy and 3 of his brothers were photographed by National Geographic Magazine in and in front of the "St. Maurice Oak " on Pointe Coupee Road. He still held a fondness for the tree in his last days as his last trip out of the house was to see the tree. He learned at an early age to never waste and to take care of what you had.-A lesson he taught his children well. As a young boy he used to work on old Model A's and Model T's to make them run. As an adult he always enjoyed working on small engines, having worked on the lawn mowers and other motorized tools of many of his friends. He took pride in his work shop and tools and that each had its special place on its given shelf. He cherished his Catholic Faith and was so proud of his Aunt Cid (Sr. Marie Adele-- Sister of St Joseph) who always prayed for her famiy to be strong in their Faith. Ivy graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in 1940 and always remembered his entire class of 7 with great fondness. Right after high school, Ivy joined the U.S. Army to protect his country in World War II. He was to spend 5 years in the War and the friendships he made lasted his whole life long. Ivy drove 5 different tanks throughout Italy. He spoke often of Naples and Cassina, Rome and the entire Po Valley. While in Rome he was able to have an audience with Pope Pius XII. His "Army Buddies" became extended family and although few survive today, they are loved dearly by the Labatut "children". After returning from the War, Ivy married his lovely wife, Mary Nora Ballard of Jarreaubuilt a house in New Roads and went to work at the Standard Oil Refinery in Baton Rouge and though it's name changed several times, this humble employee, never changed and seldom if ever missed a day's work.

In his later years, he and his dedicated friend, Ms. Gertie Guidroz, enjoyed his retirement.

A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Ms. Lobman moved to New Orleans to attend Newcomb College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies. She later attended Tulane University earning a Masters in Early Childhood Education and thereafter devoted her career to serving young children with disabilities and their families. Ms. Lobman was a pioneer in the field of early intervention and worked diligently to build and improve the programs that serve individuals with disabilities. Upon graduating from Tulane, Ms. Lobman was employed by the University of New Orleans Parent Child Development Center where she worked on developing a parent and infant curriculum. Subsequently, she was employed by Louisiana State University's School of Allied Health for approximately twenty years. During that time, Ms. Lobman was responsible for the development and implementation of the Louisiana Curriculum for Infants with Handicaps, a project that created some of the first intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities in Louisiana. In addition, she was responsible for numerous successful federal and state grant applications that developed, expanded and improved intervention services for young children with disabilities in the state. She participated in the development of recommended best practices in the field of early intervention and consulted with programs around the state as they developed services for young children with disabilities. Ms. Lobman also authored or co-authored numerous journal articles and book chapters in early intervention. In addition to serving young children with disabilities and their families, Ms. Lobman helped to train hundreds of early childhood and special education professionals. She also taught in the Early Childhood Education program at Delgado Community College and was an Associate Professor at LSU Health Sciences Center School of Allied Health Professions teaching in the Master's of Health Sciences Program. Outside the classroom, Ms. Lobman personally mentored countless professionals in the field of early intervention. She was always eager to take another young professional under her wing and foster that individual's professional development. Professional growth and learning were very important to her and she believed in doing things well and striving for improvement. Ms. Lobman instilled these values in those she mentored and took great pleasure in watching those individuals succeed. Later in her career, Ms. Lobman shared her talents as a grant writer as the director of Grant Seekers Assistance at the Center for Nonprofit Resources and was a board member of Ya/Ya from 2006 to 2009.

Ms. Lobman's work was often behind the scenes, putting together resources, offering guidance, gathering people and programs together, but the impact of her efforts was significant. While she never felt the need for any special recognition, her work directly affected hundreds of individuals with disabilities, their families as well as the professionals that serve them. She is survived by her longtime companion, John Cochran; her daughter Dorian L. Tuminello; her son in law Brian Tuminello; her grandson, Parker Tuminello; and her brother Robert Silverberg of Bethesda, Maryland.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert E. Smith and Hedwig Schwartz Smith. The widow of "Commodore" Thomas J. Lupo. Mrs. Lupo attended Lakeview School, Eleanor McMain Girls' High School, and the Tulane University School of Business Administration. She was a steadfast supporter of a wide variety of local and national causes, including the National World War II (D- Day) Museum, New Orleans City Park, St. Dominic's Catholic Church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Jesuit High School in New Orleans, the Academy of the Sacred Heart and a number of charities benefiting members of the United States military services. While a student at Tulane, she managed the Lakeview Theatre, an independent neighborhood motion picture house. Under her direction during World War II, more War Bonds were sold there than at many of the large downtown theatres. Observing the inequities resulting from the relationships among motion picture producers, distributors and theatres, and their negative effect on independent theatres like hers, she brought the situation to the attention of then United States Attorney General Thomas Clark, leading to a landmark anti-trust case before the United States Supreme Court. Mrs. Lupo served on the New Orleans Public Library Board under Mayors deLessepps S. Morrison, Victor H. Schiro, and Moon Landrieu. After the Robt. E. Smith Regional Library, a gift from her parents to the city in 1958, was damaged in the aftermath of the 2005 floodwall failures, and pending its restoration, Mrs. Lupo granted the use of property on Harrison Avenue as a site for the William and Melinda Gates Foundation's temporary library. Demonstrating her loyalty to the Lakeview neighborhood and its people, Mrs. Lupo was a constant source of encouragement and support to her family's successful post-katrina rebuilding of their substantial interest in the area's commercial infrastructure. At a time when many people were questioning the viability of New Orleans itself, she inspired her family in pioneering the forward progress of the Lake area. She remained actively engaged in her family's real estate business for seven decades, until her death. Mrs. Lupo was a member of Phi Mu Fraternity, and served as President of its Delta Chapter Mother's Club. She was also an Honorary Life Member of the Key West Yatht Club. She is survived by a son, Robt. E. Smith Lupo, his wife, Dr. Mary Puissegur Lupo; a daughter, Norris Smith Lupo Williams, her husband, Robert John Axtell Williams; and three grandchildren, Adair Smith-Lupo Monroe Williams, Robert Thomas Smith Lupo and Francesca Marfese Smith Lupo.

She also took great pleasure in introducing others to the joys of New Orleans. She was active in the community and a vocal advocate for the underprivileged and disenfranchised. While in New Orleans, Rachel was a member of St. Mark's United Methodist Church. She graduated from the University of New Orleans in 1987 as a founding member of the University of New Orleans Women's Center. Rachel had a powerful and joyous sense of humor - her own laugh and her ability to make others laugh will be missed by all. She was a caring daughter, sister, and friend. She was a loving mother - proudly instilling in each of her daughters a deep faith, independence, tolerance, and a gentle heart. A Memorial Service was held at Grace United Methodist Church in Gaithersburg, MD on September 25, 2009. 10/16/2009 **************************************** 000825 RONDENO Roy "Reno" Rondeno, Sr. went to be with his Lord and Saviour on Friday, October 2, 2009 at the age of 57.

Vernon was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. Born the fourth son to Marie Antoinette Troye Svendson and Lee K. Svendson on December 4th, 1916, Vernon Svendson had four brothers: Robert E. Svendson [dec], Douglass W. Svendson [dec], Lee K. Svendson [dec] and Troye A. Svendson of Baton Rouge. In the early years of the depression Vernon had an opportunity to attend Notre Dame University on scholarship. Nearing the time of his departure for college his father suffered a stroke; an event which changed the course of his life. He made the decision to forgo his opportunity to attend Notre Dame and began working in New Orleans to help support those of his family still living at home: his mother and father, younger brother Troye and his mother's sister, affectionately named "Weedie". He went to work for Maison Blanche Stores in the credit department. During WWII Vernon worked in accounting for Higgins Industries, the New Orleans company which built the landing craft used in the D-Day invasion. After the war he went to work for the Leon Godchaux Clothing Company of New Orleans as Assistant Credit Manager and later became Credit Manager. As the Godchaux Company business expanded Vernon became General Manager of the Lakeside store. Also, after the war he attended night business classes at Loyola University and earned his degree in Business Administration. Vernon left the Godchaux's business to become President of the New Orleans Retail Credit Association. The Retail Credit Association was purchased by Chilton Credit Services wherein Vernon became Vice President and stockholder. After work with Chilton Vernon became a founder of Consumer Credit Counseling Services in New Orleans. He was the driving force in this important service organization, which acted as a credit solution for individuals and businesses ensuring that businesses received payment owed and that creditors made payment yet did not suffer bankruptcy. The efforts of the CCCS were credited with returning $20 million to the New Orleans business economy and preserved the financial integrity of thousands of creditors. Vernon retired from CCCS in 1998 after suffering a mild stroke. Life was not all work for Vernon Svendson. He was an active member of the Krewe of Rex in New Orleans. He thoroughly enjoyed Carnival festivities, particularly riding in the Rex parade on Mardi Gras day. He was also very active in the Rotary Club in New Orleans, serving as President and holding a regional officer position and became involved in Rotary International. In his younger years, he was an accomplished tennis player and golfer; he was a member of the New Orleans Country Club for over 40 years. As part of Vernon's appreciation for the game of golf, and the camaraderie it offered, he made annual trips to the Masters Golf Tournament for 30 years. In fact, Vernon loved to travel and visited destinations all over the world. He was known for being a "snappy" dresser, always the gentleman and a bit of an entertainer. He appeared in numerous advertisements over the years and is fondly remembered in his role as Interlocutor in a New Orleans Minstrel show during the late 1930's. He was a humorist and acted in many skits. In 1966 Vernon married Evelyn Mosler Zimmerman. He was step father to Evelyn's son John Zimmerman. The family home was located in Lakewood South subdivision in New Orleans until the time of Hurricane Katrina. Vernon will always be remembered and admired by family and friends as being a caring, generous, thoughtful person. He was supportive and interested in others, conscientious in his endeavors, and took to heart a strong sense of responsibility in caring for the elderly members of his family. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn, step son John Zimmerman, one brother, Troye Svendson of Baton Rouge, fourteen nieces and nephews, step grandchildren and great nieces and nephews. Pall bearers will be Troye Svendson, Martin Svendson, Troye Scott Svendson, Chandler Svendson, Douglass W. Svendson, Jr., Jeffery Svendson and Lawrence Svendson.
