After earning a Masters of Business Administration from Louisiana State University in 1948, he was appointed to head the Department of Commerce at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, where he served from 1948 to 1953.

Joyce was born July 18, 1927, in Lake Charles, La. She was the elder of two children of Selcyr Burdette and Mary Agnes (Gremillion) Robinson. She grew up in Lake Charles and became a legal secretary after graduating from high school. She married John Joseph Burke on Sept. 5, 1949, and was his constant spouse and closest friend for more than 61 years. Joyce was a loving and generous mother to six children: Kathleen A. (John) Kocks, John J. Burke Jr., David R. (Prima) Burke, Mary Joyce (Ken) Smith, Jeri A. Karmazin, and Molly L. Burke. She was the grandmother of eight (Bridget, Heather, Meredith, David, John, Kelly, Savannah and Allan) and great-grandmother of six (Jacub, Tyler, Brennan, Caroline, Nolan and Kyle). She was preceded in death by her parents and only sibling, Geraldine Ann (Robinson) Lenamon. Like her mother, Joyce was an accomplished pianist who considered music one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. One of her favorite songs was "You Are My Sunshine," and this is what she was to her family. She had a joyful spirit and met each new day with happy expectation. She enjoyed acting and making people smile. She spoke her mind frankly, even to strangers, but the intent behind her words was kind. She was proud of being a housewife and mother, always ready to show a photo of her six "beautiful children," proclaiming they were the best gift she ever received from her husband John. Joyce was not concerned about material possessions; she was a down-to-earth lady who treasured common sense, courtesy to others and honesty. In all these ways, Joyce was a beautiful soul. Her family keenly misses her, but we are consoled in knowing she is at peace and with her maker. There is more music and sunshine in heaven now. The family is planning for a private memorial service for relatives and close friends. Mothe Funeral Home in charge of arrangements, 504-366-4343.

Butler, Sr., and Audrey Snia Butler and went to her eternal rest on February 11, 2011. After her mother's death when she was three months old, her father later married Thelma Moore. Both Thelma and one of Sonia's brothers, Eugene E. Butler, Jr., preceded Sonia in death. Sonia was educated in the New Orleans public school system, a 1976 honors graduate of McDonogh #35 Senior High School. She won awards in speech making contests during her senior year of high school. Sonia entered Yale University in 1976 and was later assigned to Morse College. Her undergraduate years were enlightening and libe-rating-both intellectually and personally-and she made many lifelong friendships. After graduating in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in political science, she began to commute to New York City to work in the business world while remaining in Connecticut, where she became a lifelong resident, eventually purchased the home of her dreams, and formed many gratifying friendships with other members of the community. She also traveled to places she had always dreamed of-Paris, Spain, India, Israel, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the French Riviera, West Indies, and the Philippine Islands. In 1989 her book of poems was published as she continued her creative journey of acting and producing plays and videos. Sonia continued her education in the early 1990s and received a Master's degree in Political Management from the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management. Soon, however, she found her passion in physical fitness and Yoga philosophy and exercise. She eventually became a certified yoga instructor and physical trainer, and taught yoga and physical fitness for over 15 years in New York City, where she expanded the circle of her friends even further to include many of her students and colleagues. She conducted several "Yoga for Relief" academies in Houston, TX and New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. Always a congenial spirit, Sonia had many friends throughout the country from a variety of backgrounds, all of whom she treasured. In addition to her father, Sonia leaves behind two loving sisters - Brenda Butler of Bowie, Maryland; Wanda B. Audrict (husband Larry) of Stone Mountain, Georgia; four devoted brothers - Dwight Bluford, Carl Bluford, and Joel Butler of New Orleans, Louisiana; and David Butler of Austin, Texas; and several caring cousins, two god-fearing aunts, and several awesome nieces and nephews.

The twins were nicknamed Rusty and Dusty; Rusty didn't stick but Dusty did. Thus began a lifetime of being Velma in the Texas Panhandle and Dusty everywhere else. She exited on March 2, 2011 in Austin. Velma was the oldest of seven, part of a large farming clan. For 8th grade, her family moved into town and she graduated from Pampa High in 1944. After WWII, a cocky B-17 pilot romanced her for a year before marrying her June 1, 1947, thus beginning a 51-year marriage to Howard T. Hampton. They headed to Texas Tech and she worked for Stanolind Oil. Following her geologist husband through several oil towns - Odessa, Ardmore and Dallas - they moved to New Orleans in 1956. With two young sons, Dusty became a constant volunteer at their school, so much so that the principal of a new school asked her to fill the new paid position of secretary. When her youngest began school, Dusty also began at Rudolph Matas Elementary, where she kept the office running smoothly for 25 years and was known as Miss Dusty to hundreds of Metairie kids. HT and Dusty adopted New Orleans and loved living there for 36 years. Their Laux Manor cul-de-sac was more than a neighborhood; it was like family. Dusty was one of the coolest moms and a gracious host, making their home open and inviting to everyone. In 1992, Dusty and HT returned to Texas, moving to Austin. Once again she became a school volunteer - this time at her grandson's Cunningham Elementary. She also discovered her inner artist and cherished Wednesday's, painting with her art buddies. After HT died in 1998, Dusty kept her zest for life, sharing it with her Dachshund Aimy. In another era, Dusty would have been a professional writer; instead she wrote dozens of wonderful stories, letters and emails - her unpublished legacy. She loved music, politics, computers and the Internet, the stock market, road trips, a good party and most of all cooking. She was known for a sophisticated style yet believed it was the simple things in life that mattered most - love, wonder, roots and wings. Dusty adored her three sons and embraced their spouses when they married - Dan and Susan (Austin, TX), Ted and Kay, and Ben and Mary Pat (all of Lafayette, LA).

He served with distinction in Viet Nam, earning the Red Distinguished Flying Cross, the Silver Star, numerous Air Medals, two Purple Hearts, and other medals and commendations. Mike flew over 400 missions as a helicopter door gunner. Mike never met a challenge too great to tackle, and often succeeded in memorable fashion. Mirta Ojito, author of Finding Manana, recounts her journey to the U.S. as a member of one of the families Mike rescued during the Mariel Boatlift. Bayou of Pigs describes the key role Mike played in thwarting an attempt by white suprem-acists to overthrow the government of Domenica.

He rode out Katrina aboard the Manana in the Municipal Yacht Harbor, then powered the Coast Guard station from his boat, greatly aiding the rescue of hundreds of New Orleanians. Mike always joked that he was willing to lend a hand, having lost his left arm in combat, and spent his life helping others, saving lives, and working to make the City and its Lake better places.

He leaves behind his sweetheart of 51 years, Helma Day Krotzer, of Metairie (originally Lynchburg, Va.); daughter Katheryn Krotzer Laborde, also of Metairie, and son Kevin C. Krotzer and his wife Heidi, of Katy, Tx. He was a devoted grandfather to Zach and Joey Laborde; one grandchild was on the way. He is also survived by four half-siblings, Michael C. Russo (Kissimmee, Fl.), Louise Miller (Carmichal, Ca.), Christine Ambs (Holland, Pa.) and Shirley Schernyk (Quakertown, Pa.), and other relatives, particularly Marie Kuhn Madden (and husband Hugh) of Doylestown, Pa. He is preceded in death by Florence Mizerak Russo Krotzer, William C. Krotzer, both of Philadelphia, Pa., and Chris S. Russo of Paludi, Italy. The Philadelphia native was the son of an Italian immigrant and a first generation American of Polish descent. An exceptional athlete known for his killer knuckleball, Chris was the star pitcher for Marietta College in Ohio. He spent two years in Korea as a member of the U.S. Army, serving along the DMZ line and, in his off time, emceeing U.S.O. shows. After earning a master's degree from the University of Tennessee, he embarked on a career as a Petroleum Geologist. Work brought Chris and his family to Midland and Ft. Worth, Tx. and finally to New Orleans. From 1970 on he called Metairie home. He was a fan of the Phillies, the Hornets and, of course, the Saints, but he was not satisfied to simply watch sports. For many years Chris played in Overhand Slow Pitch softball leagues and bowling teams; after quadruple bypass surgery in the 90s, he turned to mall walking and rarely missed a day. He was passionate about politics, whether he was discussing headlines with his grandson or serving at the polls each election day. Finally, he was a gifted gardener who looked forward to each spring. His backyard was his joy and his masterpiece. As was his wish, the memorial was private. The family thanks Dr. William Rolston for thirty-five years of care and friendship.

Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi August 19, 1923 as the only child of Adam and Coin Werling, when her mother died in her early childhood she was raised by her aunt and uncle Annette and Billy Snider, in various locations in the Delta, mostly Clarksdale, Mississippi. Her uncle, JB "Billy" Snider was a newspaperman, editing and publishing a number of newspapers around the state of Mississippi. She attended Texas State College for Women, returning home to continue commercial art in her father's newspaper business. In 1949 she married Hugh Gene Oliver, also of Clarksdale. The couple relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana where she raised children as Hugh attended Tulane University and then Tulane Law School. She stayed home as the family grew, continuing to provide a loving home-life for her children. Art, especially her newspaper print multicolored sketch drawings was part of life; marvelous seasonal murals on rolls of news print adorned the walls at home and of the childhood classrooms of her children. She later became the best law secretary Hugh Oliver ever had. She volunteered with church work, numerous philanthropic and political activities over the years. She was very proud of her accomplishments as an advocate of posttraumatic head injury in children after the severe injury suffered by her daughter and even went on to write a guide for caregivers dealing with similar circumstances. Always interested in exploring the bigger wide world, she traveled with Hugh much including to Europe and Asia including China. The center of being home was around the kitchen table while she stirred the pot and those in attendance would get a taste. She was an excellent cook, frequently surprising family and friends with a new dish she needed tasters for as well as having predictably excellent seasonal meals for reunion occasions. Betty was an accomplished gardener who loved to get her hands in the ground, couldn't wait for the spring to burst forth so she could begin planting and digging again. Later in life she discovered rose gardening and had marvelous old roses. She had been a member of the New Orleans Rose Club. She was a devout Christian, during much of her life a member of the Anglican Church. She came late to the Roman Catholic Church at the age of 83. Betty is survived by her five children: Whit and wife Molly of Tallahassee, Florida and their four children Adam, Cornelia, Claire, and Warren; Lise of Gloster, Mississippi and her sons Sean and Jesse; John and wife Misty of Hammond, Louisiana and children Ellen, John, and Avalon; Andrew and wife Tari of Hammond, Louisiana and sons Ian and Hugh McGee; and Charles and wife Elise of The Woodlands, Texas and their sons Nicholas and Carter. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of fifty years, Hugh and her grandson Gavin Foster Oliver. A memorial Mass will take place at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Hammond, Louisiana on Saturday, March 26th, 2011 at 9:30AM with a reception to follow. She chose to donate her body to LSU Medical School in New Orleans for doctor training, a decision she made after both her son and grandson finished medical school at LSUNO, so no burial will follow right away. To paraphrase from scripture: she ran the race well, gracefully, having fought the good fight, having kept the faith, with a cheerful, prayerful attitude at all times. She will be missed greatly. In lieu of flowers, she would want flowers to be sent to your local church for the Easter alter display but also donations may be sent to Catholic Relief Services, LSU Medical School New Orleans, Heifer International, or Generations Hospice in her name. 3/20/2011 Times Picayune **************************************** 000743 ORGERON - Clarence J.

Annie Ray Watkin, born the 11th of May 1915, in Houston, Texas, was the daughter of the late William Ward Watkin and the late Annie Ray Townsend Watkin. Her father, William Ward Watkin came to Houston in 1910 from the firm of Ralph, Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson, Architects, in Boston, to supervise the planning and building of the original buildings of Rice University. In 1914 he married Annie Ray Townsend of San Antonio, Texas, and they made their home in Houston. Mr. Watkin was Professor of Architecture at Rice from 1912 until his death in 1952. They had three children and a very happy life until Mrs. Watkin's untimely death, the 2nd of March 1929, in Paris, France. She is buried in Houston. Their oldest child, Annie Ray, attended Kinkaid School, and Chatham Hall School in Virginia. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Rice University in 1936, and later received her Master's Degree in Art History at Rice University in 1943. Her interests were history and foreign languages. In college Annie Ray shortened her name to "Ray." In 1939, Ray married Carl Biehl of Galveston. They lived two years in Washington, D.C., and from 1942 through 1945, her husband served in the U. S. Army in Bristol, England and Ray returned to Houston until Carl's return from the war. In 1947, Ray and Carl moved to New Orleans, and from 1947 to 1955 there were many trips to Europe with the shipping business. Their marriage ended in 1955 and in 1956, Ray took a lengthy trip around the world. On the 24th of June 1961, in New Orleans, Ray married Henry W. Hoagland, Jr., of Boston and she moved to Boston, where they lived for 17years. They also owned a summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine, where they loved to entertain friends and family. Mr. Hoagland was Vice-President of American Research and Development Company in Boston from 1956 to 1970. In 1970 he became chairman of the Fidelity Ventures Capital Fund until his retirement in 1978. They kept their home in Kennebunkport and also lived part-time in Houston, Texas, and in Tucson, Arizona, until Harry died the 25th of February 1995, in Tucson, Arizona. Ray enjoyed being an active member of various organizations. Some of her favorites were The National Society of Colonial Dames of America, Massachusetts and Texas Chapters; National Society of DAR - Hannah Goddard Chapter, Massachusetts; Daughters of the Republic of Texas - San Jacinto Chapter; Southern Garden Club; Honorary Board Member, Rice University Historical Society. She was also a member of the Junior League (Sustainer). After Harry's death, Ray married Robert F. Strange in January of 1997 at the First Presbyterian Church in Houston. They then lived at his ranch in Gay Hill, Texas for over four years until his death on September 17, 2001. Mrs. Strange then moved back to Houston to The Hallmark Apartments until her death. Ray's hobby was genealogy. She published three books for her family history, the first book, "The Seven Townsend Brothers of Texas" in 1975, was written by Tula Townsend Wyatt; and the second book, a biography of her father, "Wm. Ward Watkin and the Rice Institute" in 1991, was written by Patrick Nicholson. A third book followed, "Advance Man, The Life of Henry W. Hoagland," in 2005, after his death, published by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society. Ray was instrumental in lending help to publish a fourth book in 2010, "A Leader by Example: Harry Hoagland and the Dawn of American Venture Capital," by the New England Historic Genealogical Society. Ray was on the board of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society of Boston for twenty years. Until the 1990's, she was also co-chair of the Rice University Area Club while living in Boston. In 1975, in Houston, Ray organized the Rice Alumni Archives Committee at the University. She endowed both the W. W. Watkin and Rosemary Watkin Barrick Traveling Fellowships in Architecture, the Annie Ray Watkin Hoagland Strange Endowment for Rice University Archives, and the W. W. Watkin Chair of Architecture at Rice. Upon her retirement in Houston in the late 1990's, she was appointed to the board of the Rice Historical Society. Her devotion to Rice University benefited residents of The Hallmark also. With the idea of her friend, Mrs. Elizabeth Kaderli, to engage Rice Professors to come to The Hallmark and give lectures, they partnered with the Glasscock School of Continuing Education annually, to bring 12 weeks of stimulating lectures to residents and friends of The Hallmark for the past five years. Mrs. Strange was predeceased by her sister, the late Rosemary Watkin Barrick (Mrs. Nolan E. Barrick of Lubbock, Texas) in 1984; her brother, the late William Ward Watkin, Jr., Brigadier General, U. S. Army Retired, a West Point graduate of the Class of 1942, who died in Brevard, North Carolina in 2001; and nephew, the late Bruce Watkin Barrick, who died in Austin, Texas, on the 12th of July 2010. She is survived by Carol S. Watkin, widow of her brother, in Brevard, N. C., and by Nolan E. Barrick, widower of her sister, in Lubbock, Texas. Ray is also survived by four nephews and one niece, William Ward Watkin III, Major, U. S. Army Retired, and his wife, Corinne Barry Watkin; Thomas Snyder Watkin; Andrew Townsend Watkin; John Koch Watkin and wife, Barbara Watkin; and Anne Barrick Smith and husband, Charles A. Smith; and six great nephews, two great nieces and one great-great nephew. Ray is survived by relatives from her mother's family from San Antonio, her cousin Dr. James T. Willerson and Nancy Willerson of Houston; and their two daughters, Sara Willerson and Amy Suerth and her husband Chris. Also, her cousin, Dr. Darrell Willerson and wife Susan of San Antonio, and cousins, Eleanor and Scott Petty of San Antonio. Ray is survived by members of Harry Hoagland's family; his niece, Mrs. Anne Plumb Kelsey and husband Jack Kelsey; and her son, Robert Plumb and wife Laura; her nephew, Dr. Peter Hoagland and 2nd wife, Judy; Peter's sons: Tony Hoagland and wife, Kathleen and Christopher Hoagland and wife Amie, and daughter Mallory. Ray and Harry were especially blessed with the love and attention of their great-niece, Dr. Janet Hoagland Sorensen, daughter of Dr. Peter Hoagland, and Janet's husband, Jim; and their family of five daughters and one son. Ray is also survived by the family of her deceased husband, Robert F.

Strange, Jr., and wife, Lana and their daughter, Lauren Strange; and four great-grandchildren. Ray's special gratitude and love goes to Ms. Carolyn Harris, Ray's devoted associate and good friend for many years.
