A graduate of Ferriday High School, Ronnie served his country in the United States Army from 1975-1978. He then attended the College of San Mateo in San Mateo, California. Ronnie is survived by his beloved wife, Rubie McDowell Frazier, his five children, Chad, Sytreeta, Steven, Debronnie, and Ronnie, his mother Althea Frazier, and his siblings, Martha, Ed, Jill, Karen, Ricky, and Carl. After completing military service, Ronnie moved to New Orleans and worked in several jobs, never finding exactly the right fit until he was hired at Metairie Park Country Day School. He began his service to the school in the dining room, and then he transferred to the maintenance department. Ronnie said, "I had started to think I would never stay in any job for longer than two years until I came to Country Day. Then I knew I was home." Ronnie was in his 19th year of service to Country Day. "How many people can say that their school maintenance man is without a doubt one of their best friends, heroes, and idols of all time? Rest assured the thousands of students, graduates, faculty, and parents of Metairie Park Country Day School in Louisiana, can." So begins a tribute to Ronnie written in 2004 by a graduate of the School. Ronnie Frazier was a remarkable person. He fulfilled all of his duties cheerfully and capably, but it was his great personality combined with his love and care for adults and students alike that made his contribution to the school soar far, far beyond his job description. Alumni said of him, "He is like every student's unofficial psychiatrist, funny uncle, favorite teacher, and best friend all wrapped up in one enormous smiling package." "He is not merely a maintenance man; he is a fixture of the community, the real heart and soul of Metairie Park Country Day School." "He treated us as kids, as his own, whether he was reprimanding us or counseling us." A current student said of Ronnie, "Ronnie was someone who could always lift your spirits just with his smile. Ronnie would always let little kids hang from his arms as he twirled them in circles, or just ask you how you where, how life was, how sports were, how was your family, and as you talked he would nod his head and listen. He cared." Another student remembered, "We would joke about how much taller I am than Rubie, talk about how much I looked like my mom, and reminisce over the days when I used to run up to the bus in my diapers. He taught me my manners, kept me from looking like a "shaggy sheep dog" in fifth grade by cutting my bangs just outside of Room Eleven, and would always smile and laugh his booming laugh." Ronnie was quoted in the 2004 tribute as saying that being a member of the Country Day community "is like a vacation because you can make a decent living and you get to watch wonderful kids grow up. You can drive them in a bus and watch them play football games, soccer games, tennis, baseball, etc. and get paid for it. To go home at the end of the day and know that I have made a mark on someone or helped a student with a certain problem makes me so thankful…Nothing is as rewarding as knowing that a child looks up to me, and that through their eyes, what I have to say really does make a difference." Ronnie Keith Frazier made a tremendous difference with his life in ways large and small, known and unknown. All who knew him were graced by his wisdom, his sense of humor, his genuine love for people of all ages, and his enjoyment of life. He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 7 at Thompson Temple Church of God in Christ, 1515 Whitney Avenue, Gretna, Louisiana. The viewing will be from 9:30- 10:30, and the service will begin at 10:30. The burial service will follow at Providence Park, 8200 Airline Drive, Metairie, Louisiana.

After graduation from Dominican High School in 1969, she studied acting for two years at HB Studio in New York City. Back in New Orleans in the 1970s, as Chief Instigator of the Mystic Krewe of Alligator, Peggy was a driving force in producing a series of musical events that culminated in the founding of Tipitina's nightclub. During that same era and into the 1980s, she was a partner/employee of the Whole Food Company of New Orleans until that company's merger with Whole Foods Market of Austin, TX. Peggy's next career move was to learn the trade of producing custom-made slipcovers and draperies. For the last three decades, until her illness prevented her from continuing, she executed the designs of many local decorators and produced her own creations working directly with homeowners. Her work was regularly featured in such publications as Southern Living and Architectural Digest. Peggy reigned as Queen of Mama Roux, a subkrewe of the Krewe du Vieux, in 2005. Peggy lived life to the fullest; her generosity of spirit and infectious smile her trademark. Always the consummate friend - injecting laughter and goodwill wherever life took her.

He was 68 years old. Mr. Jefferson, the fourth of ten children and the first son born to the union of Mr. Mose and Mrs. Angeline Jefferson, was born in Lake Providence, Louisiana on August 28, 1942. In the time between his birth and his death, he experienced tragedy and victory, joy and pain. But, through his indomitable and his unshakeable spirit, he dealt with them all just the same. Mr. Jefferson was baptized at Sweet Canaan Missionary Baptist Church at an early age, accepting Christ as his Lord and Savior. At the time of his passing, he was a member of Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana, pastored by Dr. Debra B. Morton and Bishop Paul S. Morton. While his faith in Christ Jesus anchored his life, he successfully served many secular roles. He served his country as a member of the United States Air Force, from 1961-1964, from which he was honorably discharged. He served the economic needs of his community by creating successful businesses in and around the Chicago, Illinois area. Starting in 1967, as an area manager for Kentucky Fried Chicken, he was responsible for the operations, inspections and training of personnel in ten stores, moving later to Church's Fried Chicken, to become Assistant Division Manager, with responsibility for fifty-one stores in four Illinois cities, and a division staff of over 668 employees. And, starting in 1972, as an entrepreneur, he owned and operated Jefferson Real Estate Agency, where he was a licensed real estate broker; Jefferson Kiddy College/Day Care Center, where he was certified by the Kennedy/King College of Chicago in Early Childhood Development; and the Utopia Food Store. Desiring to be closer to his parents and siblings, he sold his businesses in Chicago and relocated to Louisiana, where he went into various retail businesses with family members. His business pursuits continued in New Orleans for many years, simultaneously, however, with his commitment to public service through his work as a political consultant. From the architect of his brother, William Jefferson's campaigns for the state legislature and for Congress, to those of candidates for numerous state and local offices-from mayor, to city council-and even others running for national office, including running state voter registration and grass roots field operations leading to the Louisiana victory of President Bill Clinton, Mr. Jefferson made his mark as a top-flight political strategist, leading and helping to win many elections. Service to others was the great joy of his life, whether by formal service to, through and with public officials, or just through helping needy people in the community. Mr. Jefferson loved his family. He was the consummate brother, uncle and father. His heart and his hands were always open to his family. He was very, very proud of all of the achievements of the younger generation, and he never failed to let them know by word and deed. His sense of humor was legendary in his family and among his friends. He was always a ready wit and a source of joy at every family encounter, and it helped him to make friends easily and to keep them in pleasant, long lasting relationships. All who truly knew him will miss his uplifting spirit and engaging personality. Mr. Jefferson is survived by five daughters, Tamara, Dionne, Keva, Valinda and Dawn, whom he fondly called Dawn Baby; and two sons, Stephen and Darrin. His children have blessed him with seven grandchildren, with one on the way. Also, left to celebrate his transition are his siblings, Betty, Delois, William and Archie; his sisters-in-law, Andrea, Carolyn, and Sandra; his aunt Maurice; his close companion at the time of his passing, Lorraine; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He also leaves his former wives, Joann and Viola, to mourn his passing. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mose and Angeline Jefferson; his sisters Barbara, Alice, Maxie and Brenda; and his brothers Thomas and Bennie. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 2:00 P.M. at Sweet Canaan M.B.C., Highway 65 South, Lake Providence, Louisiana.

He led a gentleman's life of modesty, quiet dignity, generosity and integrity which earned him the same universal respect that he naturally showed to others. He was a lifelong resident of New Orleans. He was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Beverly Lemarie Kingsmill and his parents: Thomas Hartley, Sr. and Nellie Flynn Kingsmill. He is survived by his four sons: Thomas H. III (Marguerite), Timothy P. (Andrea), Richard M. (Monica Pellegrin), and Patrick M.

Judge Kingsmill was a man of the Jesuit tradition. He graduated from Jesuit High School and earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Loyola University. He remained devoted to the Jesuits throughout his life and personified the Society's philosophy of being a man for others. During World War II, he served his country in the United States Navy and was commissioned as an Ensign after having received officer's training at the U.S. Naval Academy and Columbia University. He was honorably discharged as a Lieutenant at the conclusion of the war. Admitted to the bar in 1948, he was appointed as Referee in Bankruptcy in 1971 and was subsequently reappointed as United States Bankruptcy Judge until his ultimate retirement in 2003.

He was a parishioner of St. Pius X Catholic Church. He was no more dedicated, however, than to his family and friends.

Eric Attended Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge from 7th-12th grades. Upon graduation in 1983, he moved to New Orleans for college. Some of his fondest college memories took place at 1200 Broadway Street; the Tulane SAE house. He was a very active SAE holding many leadership roles, planning important events and arranging many a memorable skiing trip. The friendships made during this time were life lasting and particularly supportive over the last year. After graduating in 1988, Eric's adventurous spirit took him to Australia where he lived for a year. Upon his return, he and a friend founded "Passport New Orleans", a tourism guide for the French Quarter. He continued to live and work in the Quarter for many years after that. At the time of his illness, he was a project manger for The Shaw Group in Baton Rouge. That is where he met his fiancée and love of his life, Nan. Nan spent every day of the last 14 months with Eric on his rollercoaster of cancer. Eric was an avid reader, loved history, music, photography and art. He loved to photograph his many travels. He was known for his humor, quick wit, and stunning creativity. He was a masterful cartoonist, clever impersonator and talented writer. No matter where he lived or visited, or what he was doing, his infectious personality and positive outlook drew a crowd. His joie-de-vivre and caring heart will be deeply missed. Eric was a loving son, wonderful brother, a great friend to all, a best friend to many and the soul-mate to one.

Malcolm was born on August 1, 1935 in Wilmington, DE, the second son of Frank A. Webb III and Sara Coffin Webb. Beginning in the fourth grade, his education took place at The Church Farm School, a boarding school in Glen Loch, PA, where Malcolm was consistently at the top of his class. He displayed a talent for history and geography, especially with regard to classical antiquity. He went on to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his BA in Anthropology in 1957, and the University of Michigan, where he earned his PhD in Anthropology in 1964. His dissertation, The Postclassic Decline of the Peten Maya, was widely cited by later researchers. His research interests encompassed, but were not limited to, the origins of the state, economic anthropology, Southeastern American Indians, the origins of religion, and human evolution. He taught at LSU in Baton Rouge and at Southwestern in Lafayette before coming in 1962 to New Orleans to teach at LSUNO (later UNO). Malcolm was the first anthropologist hired by the university, and in subsequent years he developed the Anthropology program at UNO, where he remained until his retirement in 1999, continuing to teach the occasional class until Hurricane Katrina. He was chairman of the Anthropology Department for most of that time. Devoted to UNO and its students, Malcolm was tireless in recruiting Anthropology majors, a number of whom went on to earn PhDs in top Anthropology programs. Malcolm Webb was a devout Christian and a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church. His faith was fundamental to his life and worldview. He was a Biblical scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of church history and theology. From the time of his arrival in New Orleans he attended Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, now The Chapel of the Holy Comforter. He was active as a lay reader, Sunday school teacher, usher, and vestry member, and at the time of his death was on the Advisory Board. Books were the fabric from which Malcolm Webb's life was woven. Although he did not learn to read until the age of nine, from that time on he was rarely seen without a book. Among his favorite nonfiction authors were William H. McNeill and Will Durant. His tastes in fiction were wide-ranging; he particularly enjoyed mystery, horror, fantasy, and perhaps most of all, children's literature. Among his favorite authors were Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Agatha Christie, Tony Hillerman, H.P. Lovecraft, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, J.K. Rowling, L. Frank Baum, and Edith Nesbit. Malcolm Webb was a kind, gentle man who loved pigs, jokes and ghost stories. Malcolm is survived by his wife Nancy, his sons Michael, Peter (Pat), Joel (Siriwan), and his grandchildren Jennifer, Joanna, and Carl, as well as Panda, Scooter, Saki, Sherman, and his special favorite, Ivan.
