After graduating from Paschal High School in Fort Worth, Jennifer earned a degree in journalism from Texas A&M in 1994, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority. After moving to New Orleans in 1995, Jennifer immediately realized that she could NEVER live anywhere else. In the immortal words of Chris Rose, she loved that "we dance when there is no music, we drink at funerals. We talk too much and live too large, and frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't." To Jennifer, living in New Orleans was like being on vacation every single day. Jennifer enjoyed a successful career in the advertising industry and was the former president of the American Marketing Association, as well as the Advertising Club of New Orleans. In 2007, Jennifer left her job as account supervisor at Peter A. Mayer Advertising in order to pursue her lifelong dream of owning her own business, Bath Junkie of New Orleans, now located in Metairie. She loved helping her customers create their own customized bath products as well as hosting private parties for their daughters. A charter member of Muses, Jennifer loved Carnival season, Jazz Fest (and just about any festival for that matter), Saints games, karaoke, travel, making new friends, and dancing with little to no provocation. Her interests were too numerous to faithfully recount herein. Born on Halloween, Jennifer was a natural born costumer, who relished every chance to "dress up". Perhaps her favorite pastime was simply hanging out with her astonishingly large number of friends. Her laugh was singular and contagious. Jennifer was preceded in death by her mother, Diane Blount, and her husband Lee of Van Buren, AR; and her beloved cat, Elvis. She is survived by the love of her life, Steve Badeaux, and his daughters: Caitlin and Cory; her father, Michael Petteway, and his wife, Helen of Holiday Island, AR; her sister, Melissa Petteway Epler, and her husband Alan of Bentonville, AR; her uncle Donald of Dallas; her grandmother Bea of Fort Worth; 16 nieces and nephews, and her amazing cat Didi. A Celebration of Her Life will be held in New Orleans on November 1st, 2010 details TBA.

Private Services will be at Greenview Memorial Gardens, East Moline, IL. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society. Trimble Funeral and Cremation Center, Moline, is assisting the family. The former Marian Fenor Myers was born June 21, 1924, in Coal Valley, Illinois, the daughter of Dr. William and Henrietta (Fenor) Myers. Marian graduated from St. Katherine's in Davenport, Iowa, and then Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, majoring in biochemistry. Following graduation, she worked as an analytical chemist at The Harris Research Center, Abbott Laboratories, and The National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C. She married Ralph Hellstrom in 1948, in Coal Valley. When they started a family several years later, she made the decision to leave the professional world behind to devote herself entirely to raising their sons. Following the death of her husband in 1986, she found love once again with Gil Kendall, a fellow church member and recent widower. They spent the next 18 years together traveling, entertaining friends, enjoying time with family members, volunteering their time and talents in the community, and, of course, playing bridge. They remained together until her death. Her final days were spent at home with family gathered at her bedside and Gil holding her hand. As a Navy wife, Marian lived in several cities, including Arlington, Virginia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Omaha, Nebraska, and New Orleans. She was past-President of the Philadelphia Chapter of ROAL, a lifetime member of the Coal Valley chapter of the Eastern Star, a member of the Welcome Neighbors, Republican Women, Pachy-derms, and was a volunteer with STAIR, gave over 1900 hours at Jo Ellen Smith Hospital in Medical Records, and volunteered at Touro- Shakespeare Nursing Home and Mary-Joseph Nursing home. She was also involved with several bridge clubs, and was a long-time member of Love Lutheran Church in New Orleans. Despite all the time she gave to benefit the community, Marian will be remembered for her endless and unwavering love of family and friends, her genuine interest in each and every person she met, and most certainly, her heart-warming smile. Marian's final message to all was, "As I am leaving you, my loving family and friends, where so much love and friendship was shown to me, I know I shall not lose you. There will be another home awaiting me - old and new friends - but you, my dear ones, I'll keep in my heart forever." She is survived by sons and a daughter-in- law, William and Cheryl Hellstrom of Omaha, Nebraska, and Erik Hellstrom, of New Orleans, four grandchildren, three great- grandchildren, her "husband", Gil Kendall, and an almost-son, James Montford.

She was 81. Dr. Lauricella was preceded in death by her parents John L. Lauricella and Theresa Sherling Lauricella; her brother John L. Lauricella, Jr.; her sister-in-law Lula Crochet Lauricella; and her niece Mary Sherling Lauricella. She is survived by her brother Francis E. "Hank" Lauricella, former State Senator from Jefferson Parish and his wife Betty V. Lauricella; and their children Francis E. Lauricella Jr. (Mary) of San Francisco; Louis V. Lauricella (Connie Jo) of New Orleans; Elizabeth Lauricella McStravick (Peter) of Houston; Marc A. Lauricella (Kyle) of Wilton, Connecticut; and J. Christopher Lauricella (Ellen) of Los Angeles, California. She is also survived by her niece Sandra Lauricella Anzelmo (Thomas) of Harahan; her nephew John L. Lauricella III of Baton Rouge; and many great nieces and great nephews. Moreover, Sherling is survived by her devoted, longtime friend Muriel Frei of Aspen, Colorado. The family extends its heartfelt thanks to Muriel for her constant care and compassion during Sherling's lengthy illness. Special thanks are also given to Dr. David Borchers, Dr. Douglas Rovira and his team at the Aspen Valley Hospital, and Hospice of the Valley for their extraordinary care of Sherling. Sherling was born in New Orleans on July 30, 1929, and raised in Harahan. She was educated in New Orleans, graduating from Dominican High School and Dominican College, where she was known as "Peewee" due to her diminutive size. She graduated from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in 1954 and completed her medical training at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1956. In the late 1950s, with her colleague Dr. Patsy R. Phelps, Dr. Lauricella established the Children's Clinic, on the banks of Bayou Lafourche in Raceland, Louisiana. She was a gifted, tireless pediatrician, who dedicated her career to serving the children of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes. She practiced pediatrics at the Children's Clinic until the mid-1980s, when she retired and moved to Aspen, Colorado. Beyond her medical practice, Sherling had many diverse interests and talents. She was a feisty intellectual, who read voraciously. A woman of deeply felt convictions, she was always happy to offer her thoughts on any number of topics. Sherling was a devoted balletomane, operagoer, and connoisseur of art house films. For many years, she made annual trips to New York City to watch performances of the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, and the Royal Ballet. She also traveled extensively throughout Europe, particularly to Italy, France and Switzerland. She was an exquisite home cook, having learned initially from her Italian-American aunts and later from the cookbooks of Julia Child and Miriam Guidroz, who was a close friend from the Bayou. Sherling also had a profound, lifelong love of the outdoors. As a young woman, she was an avid sport fisherman at Grand Isle. During her early years along Bayou Lafourche, she became an accomplished duck hunter and assembled a marvelous collection of rare duck decoys. During the late 1960s, she shifted her focus to the Rocky Mountains, where she became an ardent hiker and skier, both Alpine and cross country. In the late 1980s, she built a cabin in the Snowmass Creek Valley, outside of Aspen, where she lived happily and looked after her garden. Above all, Sherling was devoted to the education of her nieces and nephews, and more recently of her many great nieces and great nephews. She was affectionately known as "Auntie" and had a huge impact on all of their lives. She introduced them to the arts and frequently took them to the ballet, museums, and the movies when they were young. She taught them to cook and to ski, and she traveled with them, both domestically and abroad. She regularly sent them books. But most importantly, she piqued their intellectual curiosity by constantly asking them probing questions and then challenging their answers. Her mind remained razor sharp until the very end. She spent her final few years puttering around her kitchen and garden and reading in bed, surrounded by a pile of books and New Yorkers, which she read at a feverish pace. She continued to delight in arguing over the phone about something that she had recently read. A memorial service is being planned for the end of the year. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions either to St. Joseph Indian School, 1301 North Main Street, Chamberlain, South Dakota 57325 (www.stjo.org) or to Hospice of the Valley, P.O.

Long was elected to the United States Senate in 1948 vowing to carry on their father's work, Palmer always worked hard for his brother's campaigns and was entrusted with handling much of the family's business interests. He also worked in the gubernatorial campaigns of his uncle, Governor Earl K. Long. Palmer was extremely devoted to service in many Masonic organizations. He was a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason. He was Master of the Shreveport Lodge and a current member of Hap Arnold Lodge # 457. Palmer was proud to have been a Mason for over 50 years. He served on the Shriners Hospital Board, was a member of the Shreveport Scottish Rite and of the Royal Order of Jesters. Palmer derived much satisfaction from working with the Shrine Childrens' Hospital. Palmer loved fishing and hunting, both at his family's former camp at Cross Lake and at his camp on Grand Isle where he and his wife, Louene, vacationed for the past 50 years. He was a great raconteur as well as a great singer, having sung duets with Frank Sinatra. He was popular throughout the state for his fun-loving personality and "joie de vivre." Palmer loved to play golf and attend the races at Louisiana Downs. Most of all, he was one of the LSU TIGERS biggest fans as was his father, Huey. He and Louene were also members of numerous clubs and civic organizations. Pallbearers will be H.Q. Gahagan, John M. Shuey, Jr., Andrew Querbes IV, Armand L.

Long was elected to the United States Senate in 1948 vowing to carry on their father's work, Palmer always worked hard for his brother's campaigns and was entrusted with handling much of the family's business interests. He also worked in the gubernatorial campaigns of his uncle, Governor Earl K. Long. Palmer was extremely devoted to service in many Masonic organizations. He was a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason. He was Master of the Shreveport Lodge and a current member of Hap Arnold Lodge # 457. Palmer was proud to have been a Mason for over 50 years. He served on the Shriners Hospital Board, was a member of the Shreveport Scottish Rite and of the Royal Order of Jesters. Palmer derived much satisfaction from working with the Shrine Childrens' Hospital. Palmer loved fishing and hunting, both at his family's former camp at Cross Lake and at his camp on Grand Isle where he and his wife, Louene, vacationed for the past 50 years. He was a great raconteur as well as a great singer, having sung duets with Frank Sinatra. He was popular throughout the state for his fun-loving personality and "joie de vivre." Palmer loved to play golf and attend the races at Louisiana Downs. Most of all, he was one of the LSU TIGERS biggest fans as was his father, Huey. He and Louene were also members of numerous clubs and civic organizations. Pallbearers will be H.Q. Gahagan, John M. Shuey, Jr., Andrew Querbes IV, Armand L. Roos, Frank Palms Book, III, and Gerry Merrill. The family wishes to thank his special friends, Thelma Powell, Willie Mae Funchion, and Belinda Donaghey. We also thank Christus Hospice for all their care and compassion during his last days. The family requests that memorials be made to either Shriners Hospitals for Children, 3100 Samford Ave., Shreveport, LA 71103 or St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

Pitre was born March 2nd, 1921, the son of David C. Pitre of Cheniere Caminada and Evilide "Bee" Bruce of Cut Off, LA. He left school in the ninth grade because his family could not afford to buy him shoes, and began working on the family oyster lugger, the Baltimore. As a youth his nickname was "Scrap", reflecting two lifelong affinities: collecting junk and lively contrariness. Pitre enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 and rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant. Serving aboard the battleship Idaho, Pitre fought in the Aleutians, the Marshalls, the Marianas, Guam, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Ulithi, and Okinawa, where he survived a kamikaze attack. On September 2, 1945, he witnessed the Japanese surrender ceremonies from the deck of his ship in Tokyo Bay. After the war Pitre returned to his home town, married his sweetheart, and built them a house with his own hands. In between his career as rig-builder, commercial fisherman, and captain of virtually every boat type in the Louisiana oil fields, Pitre was an avid hunter, gardener, beekeeper, and reader. He would serve as commander of the Gros-Guidry VFW post and leader of Boy Scout Troop 390. He ran for several local offices, each time explaining his loss as "obviously the public is saving me for something higher". Indeed. Renowned as a storyteller, Pitre's tales were featured in various books, films, and stage performances, including at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, and attracted the attention of world famous documentary filmmaker Richard Leacock and legendary anthropologist, Allan Lomax. Pitre also occasionally worked as a movie actor, including give-and-take scenes with Oscar winners Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones, and best known internationally for his role as the Sheriff in Belizaire the Cajun, directed by his son. He had been featured in numerous newspapers and magazine, including, just weeks before his death, being quoted on the front page of the New York Times. Pitre died peacefully at his son's home surrounded by family. Maintaining his well-known sense of humor till the end, his near-to-last words were, "I see the Reaper circling; I keep trying to wave him off, but he just won't listen". Pitre is survived by his wife of nearly 65 years, Emelia Chabert Pitre; four sons: Holland Pitre, MD and wife, Melanie, Wayne Pitre, MD and wife, Marie, Glen Pitre and wife, Michelle Benoit; and former State Representative Loulan Pitre, Jr., JD and wife, Tiffany Peperone; five grandchildren: Gannon, Laura, Jason, Emilie, and Mathieu; two great-grandchildren: Nicholas and Audrey; and one sister, Vesta Pitre Suer.
