Darnell, born January 5, 1924 in Tulsa, OK, died in Houston on Easter Sunday morning, April 4, 2010. Grant is the son of Ralph Maxwell Darnell and Dencie Stebbins Darnell of Tulsa, OK. After graduating in 1941 from Cascia Hall Preparatory School in Tulsa, Grant then spent a post- graduate year at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, CT. Grant received his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1946. He was an avid athlete who played basketball, baseball and football. Upon leaving for college, his mother made him promise that he would not play football while away from home. Grant would break that promise, and have to confess the transgression when his family in Tulsa was congratulated for his performance in a game against the University of Texas. It seems the neighbors had heard his name called during the radio broadcast. Grant had joined the Aggie football team as a walk-on player in 1943. This team, remembered as the Kiddie Corps, was comprised entirely of freshman and sophomore players, as the junior and senior players had been called up for military service in World War II. Texas A&M still celebrates the team to this day: it is the only A&M football team ever to play in the Orange Bowl, and the only team to donate an endowed scholarship to the University. In 1946, Grant, who played guard, was named to the College All-Star Team. The 1946 College All-Star Game was played against the NFL champion Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field in Chicago before a standing-room-only crowd of 97,380 people. The All-Stars won, 16 to 0. After graduation, Grant entered the 1946 NFL draft, and was the seventh-round pick of the Green Bay Packers. Offered a contract for $300 a game, he asked for $500, Green Bay never responded to the counter-offer. Grant was fond of saying that he still had an open contract with the Packers. Instead of pro football, Grant chose to attend graduate school at the University of Tulsa, where he studied petroleum engineering. At Tulsa, he met his bride-to-be, Ann Miller. They wed on May 20, 1949, and remained at each other's side until Ann's passing in 2005. In 1949, Grant started to work with Stanolind Oil, starting out at the Hackberry Field in southwest Louisiana. He worked for 36 years for the company that eventually became Amoco, serving as a production engineer in Lake Charles, Corpus Christi, Houston, and ultimately, New Orleans, where he lived for 39 years. He was a Legion of Honor member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Grant never lost his deep love of the game of football. To serve this passion, he officiated high school and NCAA football games for 36 years. Coaches, college and pro Hall of Fame players remember and respected Grant for his tough but fair calls on the field. Grant leaves behind a daughter, Debbie Darnell Rees; her husband, Rick; three grandchildren, Austin, Taylor and Schaeffer Rees; a son, Grant S. Darnell II and his wife, Amber. He is preceded in death by his wife, Ann, his brother, Ralph Darnell, and sisters Dencie Louise Darnell and Gladys Darnell Gockel.

He was a native of New Orleans, a long-time resident of Destrehan, and recently a resident of Folsom, La. He was a World War II veteran who proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy. His tour of duty in the war was at the submarine base in the Aleutian Islands at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. As a pioneer recycler long before it became popular, he often employed his machinist and carpentry talents to transform found objects into useful items, like the copper fire hose nozzles that were reincarnated into beautiful hanging carriage lamps. His friends and neighbors often enjoyed the bounty of his avid gardening efforts. He grew the loveliest camellias and the sweetest kumquats in south Louisiana. Lucien never met a stranger, even when he was standing in the grocery line. He was happy to talk to anyone at anytime about anything; some call it the gift of gab, and he was extra blessed in this talent. He is survived by 6 sons: Lucien E. Frederick Jr. (Stella), William R. Frederick (Reggi), Mark W. Frederick (Athena), Raymond N. Frederick DVM, Paul G. Frederick, Joseph M. Frederick (Gale); 4 daughters: Patricia A. Frederick PhD, Jeanne M. Frederick, Barbara E.

She will be reunited with her husband of 60 years, Shelton Evans Hendricks who returned finally to New Orleans from retirement in Covington, Louisiana 10 years ago. She died of a very short bout with cancer, transitioning from living independently in her Dallas home near that of son Thomas Earl Hendricks and wife Dale Estes Hendricks in early March of this year to a gracious and accepting time waiting God's will. She first moved to Texas from her home in Covington before Katrina's visit. That move was to Tyler, Texas near son Daniel Elmer Hendricks and spouse George Ellis Lee. Martha and Shelton always seemed to make the right moves, growing up in Uptown New Orleans then raising a family on the Lakefront in Lakeview and Lake Vista before settling in Covington in 1976 for many years of a well earned retirement, he from Shell Oil's International Lubricant Corporation; but she of course never retired. Martha was the only daughter of Augustus Elmer of New Orleans and Jessie Cazeneuve from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Her two brothers, Augustus II and Joseph Cazenueve Elmer preceded her in death. She didn't work in the family business, The Elmer Candy Company, but her children enjoyed the relationship until it was sold in the 1960's. They also enjoyed childhood summers in the Elmer home on the beachfront in Mandeville and were happy to be able to return to Covington over the years when they were raising their families. Martha was an alumna of Ursuline High School and College and friendships from those days were renewed as her generation found many old friends as new neighbors while Mandeville and Covington grew. Her gentle acceptance of the final course of life allowed family from around the country to share goodbyes. Oldest son Shelton Evans Hendricks II and wife Susan Oderr Hendricks live in Omaha, Nebraska. Grandchildren from that branch are Jennifer Susan Hendricks and husband Steve in Knoxville, Tennessee with great-grandson Elliott Michael, grandsons S. Michael Hendricks and wife Sarah Moser of Cambridge, Massachusetts and Steven D. Hendricks and wife Carin Christy and great-grandchildren Elinor Evan and Malcolm Jesse in Olympia, Washington. Danny's daughter Lee Hibbett Hendricks Unroe lives in Richmond, Virginia with husband Brian. Son William Edward Hendricks was close enough in Houston to have visited very often in Tyler and Dallas. Grandson William Edward Hendricks, Jr. and wife Roxanne call San Diego, California home. Close by in Austin is grandson Timothy Slade Hendricks and wife Maribel with granddaughter Wendy Martha Hendricks Castillo and husband Phil a bit further away in San Antonio. Tom and Dale's children and grandchildren feel luckiest of all, having Great-Grandma close by in Dallas. Grandson Thomas Estes Hendricks and wife Cindy visited often with great- granddaughter Abigail Marie and great-grandson Jacob Elijah. Grand-daughters Kimberly Ellen Hendricks Beers and husband Greg and Amy Eileen Hendricks Teitelman and husband Morry and Morry's daughter Elizabeth Natalia organized many social events at Grandmom's for family and friends, including a memorable 90th birthday party which attracted many Louisianans. Granddaughter Kayla Elisabeth Roberts and husband Chris rounded out the great-grandkids with daughter Ava Olivia Roberts. All the grandchildren noted Martha kept more treats in the house for great-grandkids than they recall. Sister-in-law Ruth Ann Murphy (Mrs. Joseph) Elmer is Martha's only remaining generational connection and lives in Metairie, Louisiana with her daughter, niece Wynkie Elmer Dascomb. She is also survived by nieces and nephews Augustus Elmer III, Terese Elmer Settle, Julianne Schuetz, Daniel Earl Hendricks, III and Dana Hendricks Murray, and many of her Elmer cousins' descendants. Although at 92 friends and neighbors in New Orleans and the North Shore and the International Lubricant family became fewer and fewer over the years, she missed seeing them all but did keep in touch and was very happy to hear from many during the last few months and weeks. A visitation will be held in the Lake Lawn Funeral Home on Saturday, April 10th at 9:00 AM followed by a Mass in the Chapel Celebrating Life at 10:00 AM, offered by Father Ronnie Calkins of Mary Queen of Peace, from her "home" parish in Mande-ville, Louisiana. Neighbors from Covington, long time friend Bobby Flettrich and Ursuline school mate Phyllis Jones will read from Scripture. Interment will be in the Augustus Elmer family crypt in Metairie Cemetery immediately afterwards. Pallbearers will be her grandsons and grandsons-in-law. Following the Graveside Service friends are invited to join her family for lunch at Metairie Country Club. Attending large gatherings became difficult with declining vision and hearing and Martha followed her faith in her last years by daily worship with the Eternal Word Television Network of Irondale, Alabama, and it gave her great comfort. Remembering her life with a donation to that ministry, the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice would be welcomed. 4/7/2010 **************************************** 000458 HENDRICKS Martha Olivia Elmer Hendricks February 12, 1918 - April 6, 2010 Martha, age 92, is leaving Dallas, Texas for home in New Orleans, LA.

Martha was an alumna of Ursuline High School and College and friendships from those days were renewed as her generation found many old friends as new neighbors while Mandeville and Covington grew. Her gentle acceptance of the final course of life allowed family from around the country to share goodbyes. Oldest son Shelton Evans Hendricks II and wife Susan Oderr Hendricks live in Omaha, Nebraska. Grandchildren from that branch are Jennifer Susan Hendricks and husband Steve in Knoxville, Tennessee with great-grandson Elliott Michael, grandsons S. Michael Hendricks and wife Sarah Moser of Cambridge, Massachusetts and Steven D. Hendricks and wife Carin Christy and great-grandchildren Elinor Evan and Malcolm Jesse in Olympia, Washington. Danny's daughter Lee Hibbett Hendricks Unroe lives in Richmond, Virginia with husband Brian. Son William Edward Hendricks was close enough in Houston to have visited very often in Tyler and Dallas. Grandson William Edward Hendricks, Jr. and wife Roxanne call San Diego, California home. Close by in Austin is grandson Timothy Slade Hendricks and wife Maribel with granddaughter Wendy Martha Hendricks Castillo and husband Phil a bit further away in San Antonio. Tom and Dale's children and grandchildren feel luckiest of all, having Great-Grandma close by in Dallas. Grandson Thomas Estes Hendricks and wife Cindy visited often with great- granddaughter Abigail Marie and great-grandson Jacob Elijah. Grand-daughters Kimberly Ellen Hendricks Beers and husband Greg and Amy Eileen Hendricks Teitelman and husband Morry and Morry's daughter Elizabeth Natalia organized many social events at Grandmom's for family and friends, including a memorable 90th birthday party which attracted many Louisianans. Granddaughter Kayla Elisabeth Roberts and husband Chris rounded out the great-grandkids with daughter Ava Olivia Roberts. All the grandchildren noted Martha kept more treats in the house for great-grandkids than they recall. Sister-in-law Ruth Ann Murphy (Mrs. Joseph) Elmer is Martha's only remaining generational connection and lives in Metairie, Louisiana with her daughter, niece Wynkie Elmer Dascomb. She is also survived by nieces and nephews Augustus Elmer III, Terese Elmer Settle, Julianne Schuetz, Daniel Earl Hendricks, III and Dana Hendricks Murray, and many of her Elmer cousins' descendants. Although at 92 friends and neighbors in New Orleans and the North Shore and the International Lubricant family became fewer and fewer over the years, she missed seeing them all but did keep in touch and was very happy to hear from many during the last few months and weeks. A visitation will be held in the Lake Lawn Funeral Home on Saturday, April 10th at 9:00 AM followed by a Mass in the Chapel Celebrating Life at 10:00 AM, offered by Father Ronnie Calkins of Mary Queen of Peace, from her "home" parish in Mande-ville, Louisiana. Neighbors from Covington, long time friend Bobby Flettrich and Ursuline school mate Phyllis Jones will read from Scripture. Interment will be in the Augustus Elmer family crypt in Metairie Cemetery immediately afterwards. Pallbearers will be her grandsons and grandsons-in-law. Following the Graveside Service friends are invited to join her family for lunch at Metairie Country Club. Attending large gatherings became difficult with declining vision and hearing and Martha followed her faith in her last years by daily worship with the Eternal Word Television Network of Irondale, Alabama, and it gave her great comfort. Remembering her life with a donation to that ministry, the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice would be welcomed. 4/9/2010 **************************************** 000460 HENNESSEY Dorothy de Schouten Hennessey, age 84 years, became an angel on Tuesday, March 30, 2010.

Always vibrant, she loved life, art and people, transforming the lives of all she touched. The motto which she lived and shared was "attitude, attitude, attitude." She taught us all, "to follow your heart and never regret." Catherine was born May 24, 1916 in New Orleans where she lived with her parents, A.B. and Alice Mary Clark, and her siblings, O'Brien, A.B. Jr., Alice Mary (Dykes) and Tressie (Carey). At the beginning of her career she was a model for Gus Mayer where she met her future husband, Martin, Gus's nephew. She was then employed at the St. Charles Hotel where she regularly met celebrities such as Clark Gable and Cary Grant. Catherine even turned down a date with Cary Grant as she already had a date with Martin. Catherine and Martin wed in 1941 and were married 36 years until Martin's death in 1978. Throughout her life, Catherine was always supportive of others and many causes. During World War II she volunteered for numerous organizations in support of the war effort. Later she was a tour guide of the City of New Orleans and the Old Ursuline Convent and she also helped raise funds to renovate the Convent. Until just a few months before her death she was still teaching art classes and arranging exhibits for the Young Energetic Senior Group at the Pelican Athletic Club and prior to that at the Christwood Retirement Community. She always believed that everyone could paint and with her energy and encouragement, her students succeeded and had regular showings of their wonderful paintings. Catherine was described as having infectious joy, enthusiasm and acceptance. She was the quintessential teacher of art and life - an icon, a muse, an inspiration, a role model and a cherished friend to so many. A dear friend said, "She made the unconventional comfortable, if not comforting." Always gracious, beautiful and elegant, her beauty reflected the generosity of her spirit. Her creativity was always evident in her artwork, sense of style and all-embracing approach to life. She heroically and gracefully faced all of the challenges life presented inspiring others to do the same. As a breast cancer survivor in her seventies she graced the cover of the inspirational book, The Many Faces of Cancer. After a broken hip in her late eighties she taught art classes in the rehab unit. Most of all, she taught everyone around her how to live - fully engaged, present, joyfully and for others. Catherine was always surrounded by her cherished family and friends of all ages. She is survived by one sister, Tressie Carey. Also by her two children, a daughter, Catherine Mayer and her husband, Martin Selig, and a son, Marty Mayer and his wife, Terri Mayer, 4 grandchildren, Alyce Cartier, and her husband, Ryan Cartier, Katie McCollum and her husband, Brandon McCollum, Scott Mayer and Emily Mayer, and 5 great grandsons, Cole, Gray and Hale Cartier and Parker and Carter McCollum, and one great grand daughter, Ella Catherine McCollum who was born March 30, 2010. Catherine was there at the birth of Ella Catherine and the first to hold the fourth generation of Catherines. A celebration of her life will be held on April 17, 2010 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home and Cemetery in Metairie, La. Visitation will begin at 10 am followed by a Mass at 12 pm and burial in the family tomb at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home. 4/16/2010 **************************************** 000652 MAYER Catherine Clark "Kay Kay" Mayer, a former model, art teacher, tour guide, community volunteer and friend to all, passed away April 14, 2010 at her home in Mandeville.

Doug was born on November 20, 1926, in Detroit, Michigan, the only child of immigrant Scottish parents George Trotter and Ella Simpson. He served in the U.S. Navy towards the end of World War II. He attended Henry Ford Trade School and later received his B.A. degree from Wayne State University thanks to the G.I. Bill. It was also at Wayne State University that he met his wife of over 50 years, Joyce Irene Carrithers. Doug began his career as an assistant editor of the Dundee Reporter and then worked for the International News Service both in Detroit and then in Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh, he started a new career in public relations, working for the fund-raising firm of Ketchum, Inc. That job eventually brought him to New Orleans, working on a campaign for the Tulane University Library and then for Touro Hospital. He and Joyce immediately fell in love with New Orleans, and decided to stay here for good. Together, they both helped found the Community Church Unitarian Universalist in 1969. The church, together with all of the many friends they made there, played a central role in their lives from that time on. Doug's life and philosophy was probably best embodied by the man he most admired, Mark Twain, and Doug would often give readings and performances of the great writer. Doug was preceded in death by his wife Joyce in 2002 and by an infant son David in 1957. He is survived by his son Douglas and Douglas's wife Jennifer, by his daughter Elizabeth and Elizabeth's husband Larry, and by his son Brian.
