She was a long time resident of New Orleans, LA. She is survived by her 3 sons: James P. (Jim) Balthazar of San Antonio, TX, Michael J. (Mike) Balthazar of Katy, TX and Joe L. (Joey) Balthazar currently of Lagos, Nigeria and their wives: Millie, Pam, and Michelle; her brothers: Bobby D. and Reese Emmons; her sister, Terry Emmons Creel; and 5 grandchildren: James, Kristin, Shawn, Benjamin and Garbrielle. She was born January 20, 1922 in Rainey, MS to Leonard D. and Vera Smith Emmons. Oleah loved to reminisce about growing up in the country when times were not as easy. When asked about the Great Depression one time and how it affected her family, she smiled and said "We didn't have anything to lose-things actually improved!" She graduated from Rainey Consolidated High School in 1939 and in 1944 moved to New Orleans where she said she got her first real job as a clerk in civil service. In 1949, at the Naval Base in Algiers, LA she met her late husband, U.S. Navy Chief Joseph James (Buzz) Balthazar. They married, settled and raised their family for the most part in Algiers, LA. Her favorite tactic for teaching her sons the value of an education was to march them to the cotton field, hand them a cotton sack seemingly 25 ft. long and let them know cotton was paid for, by the pound. This cannot be found in any modern parenting books but was profoundly effective. She retired from the U.S. Navy Civil Service in 1982 after 22 years of service. In 1994, she moved back "home" for good and was reunited with many friends and extended family in the Rainey community. She loved to travel but always loved to get home. Her faith in the Lord permeated her life and rubbed off on those around her. One of her many gifts was always seeing the best in everyone. "Miss Oleah" derived a hugh amount of strength, enjoyment and satisfaction from her family and friends at Shelton Baptist Church.

Uncle of 27 nieces and nephews and 20 great-nieces and -nephews, and a host of other relatives & friends. He was educated in the N.O. Public School System and attended LSU and Loyola Universities. Drex was unique for his constant drive to do positive things for his community, be that for his beloved Historic Tremé or be that a group of people he worked with on a specific project. He volunteered tirelessly on many committees and boards, but none so much as for the Bi-Centennial celebration of the Tremé. He also volunteered for many years for the Jazz Centennial Celebration, the St. Augustine Church and the Satchmo Summer Fest Jazz Mass, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, North Rampart Main Street, The French Market Corporation, and Prospect 1, just to name a few. He worked very closely with the New Orleans Musician's Clinic, to help bring awareness to the great New Orleans musicians, whom he loved as his own. He was admired for his tireless efforts of trying to make a better world and having fun along the way. It was his lust for life that got him this far, much farther than any normal person could have survived with so many physical problems. His presence is already missed in New Orleans, by his family, friends and extended family, where all benefited so much from his efforts.

An angel inside and out, born August 23, 1978. Anna Marie was the beloved daughter of Mary Modica Catoir and Clyde George Catoir Jr., and she shimmers on in their hearts and minds, now and forever a part of them. Anna Marie graduated from Nicholls State University. She was an artist, poet, and a lively moving force in literary arts for the Northshore, of the greater New Orleans area. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Northshore Literary Society. Always smiling, always kind-hearted, as a bookseller and general manager of Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Mandeville for nine years. She was a friend and mentor to many writers in the area. Her own writing, fantasy fiction and poetry, had a crisp, musical quality that was enchanting-like wind chimes blowing in a breeze. Her work has been published in Mosaic, the Nicholls State Literary Journal, and at Fictional Musings online. Her poem, Godmother, published on GoblinFruit.net in the spring of 2008, was nominated for the 2009 Dwarf Stars Award. Her visual art in the form of mask making reveals, like the turn of seasons, a different and yet similarly unique talent. Her fantastical masks that seem spun from a magical world. Her mask, Harlequin, was displayed in 2006 at the UC Davis Design Museum in the juried exhibition, Face the Nation IV. Another mask, The Green, was displayed at the Southern Illinois University Carbondale Mask Exhibit in 2006. http://amcatoir.wordpress.com/ Anna Marie also taught classes in mask making, scrapbooking, and beginner's family tree to children and altered books for adults at St. Tammany Libraries for two years. Her masks have also been exhibited in the Mandeville Branch library each Mardi Gras season. She reviewed books for several publishers and worked with local authors. The lure of books was overwhelming to her, travel & everything in- between. She loved masked balls, comic book conventions, live theater, photography, haunting bookstores, fairs & museums. "Anna Marie was such a special spirit. She was the most unique individual I have ever known. Her ability to remain true to herself and her ability to get along with everyone she met was inspirational. She was the single most non-judgmental and accepting person, with never a negative or unkind word about anyone. Anna Marie had an amazing ability to retain everything she ever read & learned, her intelligence was astounding, she was constantly doing things, I honestly believe there wasn't anything she couldn't do if she put her mind to it. She had the ability to look at a book and know who would like it. She was easily the best person I have ever known." Lori B. "Anna Marie's beauty inside and out, brains galore and a "to know her is to love her" personality made the room light up. I wish I could talk to her once more - I loved to have a serious conversation with her and then say something totally ludicrous and watch her roll those big, brown eyes to the sky. Life is so painful - she will be greatly missed." Mary Lee Wood "Anna Marie was the best of all of us. She had the biggest, most pure heart of anyone I have ever known. Anna Marie lived life to the fullest & never put off till tomorrow what she could do today. She never let her disabilities stop her or even slow her down. I love the way she collected words, she had a vocabulary that would make Webster envious. I will forever miss her infectious laugh and delightful smile. I am without a doubt one of the most fortunate people in the world for having her as a friend and sister. I like to imagine Anna Marie sitting in heaven with her wings watching over all of us, reading books & collecting words." Jessica Boynton "Anna Marie was an angel on earth, the pain she endured was the fires and daggers of hell, she complained little but she was in deep pain, as she was so hopeful and trusting. She kept begging the doctors to get a plan to help her but it was not the case, one wasted too much time initially mis-diagnosing her, she was willing to keep trying only to live another day but her body couldn't take any more. Now, she is free to read all the books, visit with all the authors gone before her, have time to finish her novel and many short stories left scattered, make all the Masks & Faerie Houses she wants or whisper book titles and hints down to all her earth bound friends. We will always be with you." Love Mom and Dad Greatly missed by her family, brother Guy E. Catoir, late grandparents Anna and Salvadore E. Modica and Joyce and Clyde G. Catoir Sr., aunts and uncles Stephanie and Gary Catoir, Cindy and Ronald Catoir, Joanne and Michael Palestina, cousins in Louisiana and several states, her honorary Aunt and Uncle Mary Ann and Van Dubrock, who treated her as their daughter; she was blessed with the friendship of their two sons. Also, missed by many wonderful long time friends & business associates.

Devoted grandmother of Denise Coupel Audler, Amanda Coupel, Jimmy Coupel, and Noelle Coupel Brown. Proud great-grandmother of Roland, Lexi, and Paxton. Jackie was a very loving, compassionate, generous, and kind hearted person always having more concern for others than herself. She delighted those around her especially her family with her God given talent to play the piano/organ just by listening to a song. With her mother a broadway performer, father a sergeant in the U.S. Army with a beautiful singing voice and aunt a member of the Ziegfeld Follies there is no question of where she acquired her talent from. Jackie was raised in Atlanta, Georgia by Thomas and Sarah Holloway, her grandparents, who she loved and adored more than anything. Not only was she talented, but she was also extremely intelligent. Working at a law firm while completing her law degree she felt it was her duty to serve her country in World War II. As a cryptographer for naval intelligence in Washington DC, Jackie spent her days decoding messages from United States spies who where gathering information from the enemy. On a bus ride home to see her mother she met her husband Lester a Chief Mate in the Merchant Marines. After only seeing each other three times they were married. When their duty at war ended, Jackie and Lester resided in Louisiana raising their two boys. Jackie was a devoted wife to Lester for 32 years when he suddenly passed away and she never remarried. With her husband gone and her boys grown she ended up living at Westminster Tower in Kenner. She enjoyed keeping busy and helping others and was able to do so well into her 70's. She worked at various places using her typing skills and drove other residents of Westminster Tower to their appointments and shopping. The last several years of Jackie's life were overcome by dementia and Parkinson's Disease making it hard to take care of herself. Her son Ron committed his life to taking care of her visiting morning, noon, and night and hiring a nurse to sit by her side when he couldn't be there. We all are, and I know that she is, forever grateful to him for this. Jackie was a very special, unique person and will be missed by all.

He was 96. Sidney is survived by his daughter, Elaine Jeanette Graff Levin; son-in-law, Leonard Levin; grandsons, Noah and Aaron Levin, all of Castro Valley, CA, his sister, Ann Graff Bedau of Ojai, CA; nieces, Marlita Kahn Delgado of San Francisco, Sylvia Kahn Versace of Los Angeles; nephews, Bruce Miller of Metairie and Marc Miller of Tempe, AZ; and a most special person, Denice Miller, wife of his nephew Marc, his primary caregiver after his move to Arizona. He was predeceased by his wife, Clara Louise Frankel Graff; his son, David Michael Graff; and sisters, Margaret Graff Kahn and Juliet Graff Miller. Sidney was a U.S. Navy veteran, having served his country on a destroyer escort in the Pacific during World War II. Following the war, he was employed as a draftsman at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until his retirement. He was a tinkerer most extraordinaire, and there was little he could not fix. He was happiest helping neighbors, friends and family, as well as showing films at Woldenberg Village. His passion was trains and until his death he enjoyed playing with his antique electric train. Such was his love of trains that he did not fly on an airplane until the age of 90.

Beloved and adored wife of Larry L. St. Romain, Sr. for over 40 years. Treasured mother to Gail S. Dardis (Joey, who lovingly called her "Miss K") and Larry L. St. Romain, Jr. "Gammy" to the four joys of her life: Melanie Louise, Nathaniel Connor, Grace Katherine and Jonathan Francis Joseph Dardis. Sister in law to Dennis St. Romain (Yvette). "Nannan" to Robert and Dustin St. Romain. Godmother to John Patterson. "Sister" to Brenda Pipitone, Dee Grillot, Shirley Chappetta, Merle Terranova and the late Linda Patterson. Also many close cousins and extended family. And her closest friend and "shopping buddy" Mrs. Charlotte Charles. She loved you all very much. The list would be endless if we tried to name her many close friends. After almost 20 years in St. Bernard Parish Government and 20 years as Lieutenant in the Aphrodite parade organization, she had and maintained a wonderful relationship with countless close friends. You all know who you are and we would like to thank you for the many years of love, support and friendship that you have given. Above all in life, my mom loved her family. She and my dad have been together for over 48 years and their bond will never be broken. She loved her children, but as I often joked with her, that special spot in her heart was taken over by her grandchildren. They brought so much joy to her. No matter her physical pain, whenever she saw them her face would light up and her world would be perfect. They will miss her so very much, but I will never let them forget her. Our hearts are broken but our love and memories will live forever. Many, many thanks to our wonderful family for all of your love and support. We would also like to thank St. Joseph's Hospice. Although their help was brief, the effects brought great comfort. A special thank you to the wonderful congregation of First Pentecostal Church of Chalmette. Your prayers and expressions of love have strengthened us. And finally to our family and her many friends, talk about her often and laugh, because that's how she would want to be remembered.

Loved by many, she died in Nashville, TN, on January 1, 2011. She was 66. Mrs. Klein was receiving medical care in Nashville while residing with her son, Dr. Jeff Klein, and his wife, Mrs. Tonia Klein, and their children. Mrs. Klein handled with grace and indomitable spirit an illness that she fought for almost a year. Mrs. Klein was born in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1944. In 1945 her family moved to Chattanooga, TN, where she graduated from City High School in 1963. She then earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. A frequent visitor to New Orleans in her youth, the young Miss Jacob fell in love with the city and moved there in 1968, following her dear sister and lifelong best friend, Marilyn Jo Jacob Klein. As a teacher in the New Orleans public schools, she began the life she would love in New Orleans. In 1970, she married Donald Stanley Klein, who happened to be the brother of her sister Marilyn Jo's husband. Thus began the foundation for a very strong family, as sisters who were married to brothers. Mrs. Klein lived a life surrounded by the love of an extended family. Following the birth of her son, Mrs. Klein devoted her time to her family. She worked occasionally as a substitute teacher at St. Martin's Episcopal School and was quite active in several charitable organizations, including the Brandeis University National Woman's Committee. When Mr. Klein died in 1998, Mrs. Klein decided to return to work. She loved her job at the Southern Yacht Club, where her co-workers became some of her best friends. Mrs. Klein's death is a tragedy for her family and many friends, and her sense of humor and down to earth attitude will missed. Besides her son and his wife, Dr. Jeff Klein and Mrs. Tonia Klein, survivors include Mrs. Klein's beloved grandchildren Ellie, 4, and Alex, almost 1.

Preceded in death by her parents, Dr. John David Reid, Sr. and Elsie Mae Fullenwider Reid, of New Orleans, and by her brother, John David Reid, Jr., of Los Angeles. Born in Ames, Iowa, Ms. Reid moved as an infant to New Orleans, LA with her family when her father, a noted research chemist, began his pioneering work in permanent press techniques for cotton fabrics at the Southern Regional Research Center Laboratories. Ms. Reid graduated from Warren Easton High School (1955) and received an undergraduate degree in Sociology (1959) from LSU and a Master's in Library Science (1963) from the University of Arizona. She then joined the New Orleans Public Library System, where she served initially as librarian for its Nix branch. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Reid became head of the system's Acquisitions Division and later its Cataloging Division as well. In the early 1970s, Ms. Reid was appointed Director of Technical Services and supervised the library system's entry into machine readable cataloging and online databases. In 1980, she became Director of Branch Services and oversaw the renovations of the Smith, East New Orleans, and Algiers branch libraries, as well as the complete restoration and expansion of the Keller (Broadmoor) library. Shortly before her retirement in the late 1990s, Ms. Reid was honored for her life's work in support of public libraries when she received the Charles E. Dunbar Career Civil Service Award. In addition to her work as a librarian, Ms. Reid was a community activist and volunteer who gave generously of her time and resources. In the 1970s, she was the first treasurer of the New Orleans chapter of the National Organization for Women and helped raise funds for the initial battered women's program in New Orleans. In 1977, she was one of the founders of the Gertrude Stein Society, which held salons on various issues and initiated contact between the gay and lesbian community and local political figures to discuss the community's concerns. Ms. Reid also volunteered with various agencies of the NO/AIDS Task Force, beginning with the Food For Friends program, and received the Task Force's "Partnership for Life Volunteer Service Award" in 2000. Later, Ms. Reid also worked with the Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New Orleans (LGCCNO) and helped establish its library, for which she received the Kearby-Caldwell Founders Award. She also funded the Louisiana Archeological Society's Survey of historical sites in the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park. But perhaps her most cherished volunteer activity was the work she did with the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Ministry (ADAM) of St. Paul's Church of God in Christ. For over 17 years, Ms. Reid assisted the ministry in its efforts by helping provide food and shelter for those in the program.

She grew up near Coliseum Square, playing with Earline Cooper - her best friend of 80 years. They started a club where neighborhood teens danced. Starr was one of the best, especially when it was a Glenn Miller record. When WWII broke out, Starr contributed to the war effort by becoming a welder at Todd Shipyards but her favorite job was driving a streetcar [until she had a wreck with a car - not an easy thing to do!] When the war ended, she married another snappy dancer from the old club - a Marine who fought in the Pacific - Henry Shelley. They were married 60-plus years. Soon after their only daughter Angela ["Angel"] was born, Starr was diagnosed with then-incurable tuberculosis. She defied the odds and lived. After being cured for 10 years, she yearned to have another child. The doctor ok'd "just one." She obeyed orders by having 4 sons - Steve, Chris and twins Scott and Nick. She was one of the first "older women" to attend college at U.N.O and Loyola University. She was an avid reader and an admired, dedicated teacher at Bessie Hiern and Kehoe Academies. She even started her own private school for a time. But her lasting legacy remains her family, sister Anne Summers, all 5 children and spouses: Will, Sue, Charlotte, Kelly and Shelley, 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. She was unfailingly loving, giving and kind, but she wouldn't tolerate criticism of her cherished family, city or the Saints. A celebration of her life will be held at the home of Scott Shelley this Sunday, January 16, 2011 from 1-4pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her name to the Drew Brees Dream Foundation would be appreciated. She lives through her love and will be missed forever.
