In 1936, at the young age of 16, Sylvia joined her brother, Harold, as they left their hometown of New Orleans to become professional dancers. They would go on to become successful dancing stars. The brother and sister team had their first real stage performance in Chicago. When they returned to New Orleans for a visit, Sylvia's mother encouraged her to become a teacher. However, Sylvia declared that she was no teacher and hit the road once again with her brother and dance partner for the entertainment world. In New York, they were billed as "Sylvia and Jon De Sylva" and from this, they eventually became the "De Silva Twins." They played in cities across the continent at places like the Rumba Casino in Chicago, Hotel Frontenac in Quebec, the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles and Radio City Music Hall in New York. Walter Winchell once called the team the "best Latin dancers ever to hit Miami." They finished their career and achieved Sylvia's dancing dream at the Blue Room in the Roosevelt Hotel in 1945. Once, in an interview, when asked if she regretted the choice to become a dancer, Sylvia declared, "I wish I cuold start it all over again." Sylvia next went into photography in her hometown with Kathryn Dyer as her partner. As a photographer, she photographed Hollywood stars, local weddings and at one point, photographed many of the Mardi Gras Balls. Sylvia often told the story of how she learned photography, which was all self-taught. When she and her brother were traveling as dancers, Sylvia began to photograph where they were at the time, and the many people they met. She would process her film in the bathroom of their hotel room and then tip the hotel housekeepers extra to clean up "the mess" and remain quiet about her activities. When Ms. Dyer passed away, Sylvia left the field of photography. Ms. Frank and Pat Skelly opened an antique shop on Royal Street. Sometime after that, the pair opened a children's clothing store, Le Petite Enfant, that sold handmade French infant clothing. Eventually, Sylvia decided to travel and she and Ms. Skelly toured Europe and the United States. Sylvia began to make art pieces that were highly treasured by many. Her bejeweled Faberge- type eggs were gems to be admired and collected and many were sold or auctioned at local charity events. Ms. Frank loved Mardi Gras and was an active member of the Krewe of Venus and a past member of The Mystic Krewe of Satyricon. She was still attending parades every year and delighted at the throws she collected. A private funeral was conducted by Rabbi Alexis Berk and a memorial in the Marigny, complete with a second line and dancing friends, was held for Sylvia's many friends and loved ones. Sylvia Frank is survived by her companion Pat Skelly, Ms. Skelly's son Andre Gres Bellou, his wife Wendy and his children James, Marie and Daniel. Also surviving Ms. Frank is her cousin David Henry and his wife Verna. Her mother, Henrietta Levy Frank, and her father, Joseph Frank, as well as her dance partner and brother, Harold A. Frank, precede Sylvia in death. Sylvia Frank was an amazing woman who left her "larger-than-life-footprint" in her beloved home of New Orleans and graced many friends by sharing her life with them. She leaves much behind that speaks volumes of her life and Sylvia will be sorely missed.

From behind the curtains came the voice of God. "Each of you was summoned here today, not to help make a decision, for that has already been made, but rather as instruments in retrieving that which is mine." However, who is he? What is his name? His name is Lenard R. Peters, but everyone knew him as "Beau." He was born in Pearlington, MS on April 3, 1936. He was raised from birth by Reverend Charles Giles and his wife, Mrs. Arnette Peters Giles who was a cousin of his biological father. Lenard joined the Marine Corps in the 1950s and served three years. When he returned from Korea, he played gigs in the French Quarters of New Orleans. Later he taught himself to play the bass guitar. He started his own Blues Band, which he called "Beau Peters & Friends." Beau traveled around the world with his band, playing in Japan, England and as far away as Australia. In 1970, he and his band were featured in the movie "Longstreet" starring James Franciscus. Lenard also worked as a grain elevator operator in New Orleans, and he served for several years as a tour guide for 'The Gay 90s Tourist Agency' and the 'Old Quarter Tourist Agency' in the New Orleans French Quarters. In the early 1990s, he began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. Beau was a faithful member and musician at Grace United Methodist Church. After Katrina, he and Inez relocated to Lawrenceville, GA where he joined the Men of Praises and the Chancel Choir. His greatest desire was always to teach music to others. He was well loved by family and friends, and he never met a stranger. He was always trying to help others. He slowed down after having a stroke in 1998, but he could never resist the urge to play his beloved music. He last attended First Grace United Methodist Church. His parents Rev. Charles and Arnette P. Giles, siblings Fred "Pop" Peters, Charles Giles, Eugene M. Giles, Sr., Myrtle Giles-Terrell and Shirley Giles-Merritt and daughter Clotile Peters all preceded him in death.

As she entered into her next life, she was comforted by her daughter, Carolyn, and by Jenny, a Hospice angel of mercy. Sunshine comes to mind when we think of Ruby, whose inner beauty showed in her ever- smiling face. She loved her family and friends deeply and sincerely, a love she demonstrated by her humility, selflessness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and eagerness to help others. She was a dedicated member of First Lutheran Church, and she served in the Meals on Wheels Program. She was also remarkably independent with an adventurous spirit. Still driving her diesel truck at 88, she voluntarily taught in AARP's Driver Safety Program. After being widowed in September of 1989, she traveled and worked at many National Parks. After returning to Lafayette, she greatly enjoyed her writing class and shared heartwarming life stories with her writing group for 8 years. Always conscious of God's direction in her life, when faced with her terminal diagnosis, she said she had been "blessed with 88 good years." She comforted her saddened and distressed friends and family. Ruby was preceded in death by her parents: Dr. Clay and Mrs. Mabel Lajaunie Thibodaux; her husband of 47 years, Wilson L. Michel; her brother, Owen Thibodaux; her brother-in-law, Harry Bergeron; and her granddaughter, Collette.

She was also blessed with many loving nieces, nephews and friends. In her interest to help mankind, Ruby donated her body to L.S.U. Her wish to delay her Memorial Service until after the holidays to spare family and friends in this busy season is typical of Ruby.

Roberts, Jr, 92, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, died at his residence on December 19, 2010 with family members at his bedside. He was at peace knowing that our heavenly Father would reunite him with his cherished Lydia, wife of 63 years. Except for the interruption of WW II, he was a lifelong resident of Metairie. Preceded in death by his wife, his parents, Nash C. Roberts, Sr. and Winona Roberts and brothers Wally and "Ep". Nash is survived by two brothers, Cliff and Sidney, sons Nash III and Ken; daughters-in-law Peggy and Rose; grandsons Nash IV, Aaron, and Dean; granddaughter Margaret; great granddaughters Holly, Maggie, Jessica and Ashtyn; and great grandsons Aidan and Wade. Nash was original in thought as evidenced by his use of reading, formal education and Navy- provided training to launch a career that meshed so well with the emerging needs of his chosen community. Weather so influenced the social, outdoor and business elements of the New Orleans area that he took the risk after WW II to start a consulting meteorological business that became known internationally. His skills soon attracted the attention of the television executives who were convinced his vision was marketable. This began a public image as a casual yet authoritative weather forecaster that led him to prominence at all three New Orleans national network stations. He truly loved his viewers and tried to convey it with every broadcast. The success in forecasting came from personal reasoning, skillful interpretation and the meteorologists of his company which included his namesake Nash III. There will be media coverage of his life and career no doubt that will more completely depict a life and career of significant achievement and public service. One non - weather story is not known by others to report. While a Navy pilot in WW II he landed on Saipan Island and subsequently took shrapnel wounds to both legs. Nash did not go to the field hospital or tell his CO. Fellow pilots patched him up so that he would not be grounded and get out of the loop of island hopping. It worked because Nash wound up getting attention from Admiral Nimitz's staff leading to his assignment to do forecasts for the fleet. A truly unique post war career followed. Media resumes cannot convey the depth of love he had for the family surrounding him or all of his successes. Nash was our leader and mentor who received the love of family, caregivers and medical staff who sustained his focus on the future. Special thanks from the family to gifted, loving caregivers Rose Bates, Mary Sullivan, Cheryl Smith, Marcel Nelson and others. Long term medical care was provided by Barry Goldman, MD and St. Joseph Hospice nurses Shannon, Jennifer and Greg. In keeping with Nash's wishes, funeral services were private at the Garden of Memories earlier this week. Condolences may be offered at www.gardenofmemoriesfuneralhome.com.

Mike was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Wanda Alane Hess and Leo Leverne Fisher. He spent his childhood in Southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi where his father worked as a Petroleum Engineer for Chevron; his fondest memories of those times were of playing in and around the swamps and bayous where he first learned to fish. Later, he moved to an area just west of New Orleans known as "Fat City" where he met and married the love of his life, Sandra Arps, on May 5, 1979. Mike attended the University of New Orleans and LSU School of Dentistry where he graduated with honors in 1986. Immediately afterward the family moved to Kitsap County and Mike began his dental practice where for 24 years he was allowed to be a part of his patient's lives while doing what he loved. Although Mike had an adventurous nature and loved to travel he also enjoyed his life in Port Orchard where he could fish and golf most of the year. Though he had never seen snow before moving to Washington, this southern boy even learned to ski; being out on the water fishing or up on a mountain skiing with his children and friends, Mike always said, made him feel inspired by the beauty and grandeur of the earth. Above all, Mike loved his family and was a devoted husband and father who always had time for one more story, another corny joke, singing silly songs or a walk in the woods to explore. Mike was a man of his word, a loyal and true friend, a role model and mentor for many and one of the kindest human beings any of us ever had the privileged to know. Mike is survived by: his wife Sandi; his two daughters: Devin C. Fisher and Shannon C. Fisher; his son, Brandon C. Fisher; and his foster son, Scott R. Chavez all of Port Orchard, WA. Also, his two brothers: Stephen T. Fisher (Sandy) of Mercer Island, WA and Mark L. Fisher (Jan) of Madisonville, LA; as well as his nephews: Stephen, Jason, Mark and Matthew; his nieces: Eryn, Ally, Ashley and Andrea'; numerous friends. and his three dogs: Fritz, Dieter and Buck.

Reverend Monsignor Keith J. DeRouen, Pastor of Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Opelousas, will be the Celebrant of the memorial Mass. A Christmas baby born December 25, 1914, in Jackson, MS, she was received delightedly into a loving family that struggled through the Great Depression but who managed to provide a genteel upbringing to a young lady who became a Renaissance woman possessing great wit, intelligence and enviable skills in art, writing and dance. She spent her first two college years at Nazareth, an all-female university in Kentucky, and her last two years at Ole Miss (University of Mississippi), where she was a member of the Tau chapter of Chi Omega fraternity. At the time of her death, Mrs. Jaubert was the sole surviving member of the 1936 Mississippi Debutantes, as well as being the oldest surviving member of her 1936 Ole Miss graduation class. Her wedding on May 20, 1939 to New Orleans' most eligible bachelor, James Joseph Jaubert, was the event of the season in Jackson, and resulted in a long and loving marriage that physically ended June 9, 1981 with the death of Mr. Jaubert but endured emotionally throughout the rest of her life.

She embraced Dixieland Jazz and loved the French Quarter Festivals and volunteered with the New Orleans Convention and Tourism Authority. The couple shared well-used memberships in the Southern Yacht Club and the Pass Christian Yacht Club and established a retail business in Pass Christian, the location of their summer home. Mrs. Jaubert retired after a lengthy career as a supervisor with the State of Louisiana Health and Human Services to travel extensively with her husband and many wonderful friends. In 1994 Mrs. Jaubert moved to Lafayette, LA to be closer to family members. She served on the Habitat for Humanity board, participated in political campaigns through the Republican Women's Club and happily joined many friends as a member of the Acadiana Women's Club. Two of her chief joys in later years were the bridge groups she belonged to and the Life Writing classes she attended through UL Lafayette.

He was 90. The cause was a septic infection, said his son, Barrett Day, MD. Mr. Day graduated from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas where he received his BS in Chemical Engineering and his officer's commission in the Navy Reserve, and met his wife, Evelyn Cooper, of Santa Rita, New Mexico. Just after graduation they both joined the Navy to serve in WWII, Evelyn was among the very first women in the armed forces, and Lt. James Day was a very early participant in the radar program at MIT in Boston, which started his career in electronic systems. After the war Mr. Day studied electronics at Capital Electronics in Washington DC and moved to Bay Village, Ohio in 1950 where he worked for Traveler Television and then Brush Electronics, a multi-disciplinary firm doing defense research and development as well as serving engineering firms in the USA. Mr. Day's duties included managing the US sales and support for a line of scientific instruments manufactured by the Danish firm, Bruel & Kjaer. Mr. Day's success led the Danish firm to ask him to establish an independent US firm to focus only on the sales and distribution of the Bruel & Kjaer sound and vibration measurement instruments, the B&K Instruments corporation. Mr. Day founded and ran B&K for 20 years and participated in many of the key technology events in US history as a major contributor. Among the BK achievements was assisting the NASA Apollo Project in finding ways to reduce the vibration during launching that threatened the integrity of the rockets and the safety of the astronauts. When the aviation industry focused on improving engine efficiency and sound reduction, B&K was instrumental in designing the concentric airflow strategy that reduced turbulence, increased fuel efficiency, and moderated the sound produced by jet engines. B&K participated in acoustical engineering projects around the country including designing concert hall acoustics including Severance Hall in Cleveland where the Cleveland Symphony plays. Mr. Day's unique contribution to the industry was to focus B&K's efforts on engineering solutions to customers' problems, including the use of competitor's products when appropriate, and in truly partnering with customers to achieve success, rather than focusing only on selling equipment.

He was the beloved husband of Lisa West and the wise and loving father of Patrick Michael West, Timothy Camille West and his wife Jenni Vincent West, Colleen West Fricke and her husband Joseph Wyatt Fricke, and Sean Thomas West and his wife Ashley Charbonnet West. Michael was the proud grandfather of Alexis, Lauren and Cole Fricke and Connor, Matthew, and Sarah West, all of whom adored their Pepere. Michael was the devoted son of Morris George West and Yvonne Bergeron West, as well as brother to Marilyn West and Michelle West Vicari and her husband Joseph Vicari. When Michael's children were growing up, the house always was filled with their friends, many of whom considered Michael their second Dad. Michael also was brother to his families at The Tinder Box at Lakeside Shopping Center, the New Orleans Cigar Company, and Payless Pipes and Cigars. Although Michael was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and his body confined to a wheelchair, his spirit soared. He always found a way to transcend all obstacles and limitations and live his life with joy and laughter. His father named him after Mike the Tiger, the LSU mascot. Although he bled Purple and Gold, Michael also was devoted to many of the students, athletes and coaches at Salmen High School in Slidell. For almost 20 years, Michael was the Voice of the Spartans, announcing all the home football and basketball games. Even after MS prevented him from climbing the stadium bleachers to the press box, the football players and members of the Salmen Spartan Family would carry Michael up to the press box so he could continue announcing their games. Everyone who knew Michael loved him and admired his spirit. The family would like to thank Michael's nurses and occupational therapist at Interim Home Health who tended to him so lovingly, as well as the ICU nurses and technicians and doctors at East Jefferson General Hospital who cared for him during his final days. Michael died the same way he lived --- with grace and surrounded by family, friends and an incredible amount of love. Family and friends will join to celebrate Michael's life on Saturday, 1/1/11 at 3:00 pm at Patton's at the Salmen-Fritchie House in Old Towne Slidell, 127 Cleveland Ave., Slidell LA 70458 (985-645-3600). PLEASE, NO FLOWERS. In lieu of flowers, the West Family would appreciate donations in Michael West's name be made to Salmen High School Athletics, 300 Spartan Drive, Slidell, LA 70458, Attention Mike Leland or Coach Leonard.

He served in the Army as an Arial Photographer during WWII and was honorably discharged in 1945 with the rank of Staff Sergeant earning three medals and a ribbon for his conduct and valor. An AV-rated lawyer, he retired in 1995, leaving the Whorton Law Office in Alamogordo, New Mexico, after 40 years of practice. Jack was fond of saying, "I ran away from home at the age of 70." He arrived in the 'City that Care Forgot' in February 1995 just in time for Mardi Gras. He loved the jazz, food, ambiance, and cultural diversity of New Orleans. After a long hiatus from art, he began a series of paintings in 1996 based on a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, which resulted in a show at the Hildebrand Gallery. Not long after his debut in art, he put away his brushes and began his monumental 10,000 word memoir "Notes From The Territory". True to the spirit of Dylan Thomas' poem, he did "not go gentle into that good night" on December 26, 2010. He is survived by his wife, Dona Lief, her sons Aram and Shane, his daughter Diane and son Nate, and stepsons Mark, Paul, and Joe. There will be a testimonial gathering of friends at his home to honor him on January 2, 2011. Times Picayune 12/31/2010 ********** 001092 WILLIAMS Lawrence "Punna" Williams of Vacherie, La.
