Skip was a force of nature a Southern gentleman to the core with an engaging personality, a way with words, a true silver-tongue devil with a twinkle in the most beautiful blue eyes who charmed all he met. He was full of life and joy, quick to smile and always had a story to share. A native New Orleanian, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi at Derbigny Plantation and Uptown. He attended Newman School, was a graduate of Tulane University and a member of the Band of Brothers, Delta Kappa Epsilon. While serving in the US Air Force in air crash rescue, he developed his lifelong fascination with fire engines to the point that later in life he came home from an auction with a 1955 Mack fire truck which soon became a party wagon and parade fixture. Skip loved the outdoors thus his career as an arborist, landscape contractor, nurseryman and the proprietor of A Cut Above Tree Service and Down to Earth Nursery. Among his many clients were Tulane University, the City of N. O., the McIlhenny family, Lakewood and N. O. Country Clubs, and Stewart Enterprises, particularly Metairie Cemetery. Skip was among the first people back in the city after Katrina to help reopen the cemetery to bury the dead. It will now be his final resting place.

Skip was a force of nature a Southern gentleman to the core with an engaging personality, a way with words, a true silver-tongue devil with a twinkle in the most beautiful blue eyes who charmed all he met. He was full of life and joy, quick to smile and always had a story to share. A native New Orleanian, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi at Derbigny Plantation and Uptown. He attended Newman School, was a graduate of Tulane University and a member of the Band of Brothers, Delta Kappa Epsilon. While serving in the US Air Force in air crash rescue, he developed his lifelong fascination with fire engines to the point that later in life he came home from an auction with a 1955 Mack fire truck which soon became a party wagon and parade fixture. Skip loved the outdoors thus his career as an arborist, landscape contractor, nurseryman and the proprietor of A Cut Above Tree Service and Down to Earth Nursery. Among his many clients were Tulane University, the City of N. O., the McIlhenny family, Lakewood and N. O. Country Clubs, and Stewart Enterprises, particularly Metairie Cemetery. Skip was among the first people back in the city after Katrina to help reopen the cemetery to bury the dead. It will now be his final resting place. Among his passions were the River Road plantations, antiques, particularly old tools and Audubon prints, live oak trees, tennis, dancing and sailing. He started his beloved daughter Lee in tennis at an early age with the help of his instructor, Nehemiah Atkinson.

Elmer, Sr., retired dentist, born in Hammond, Louisiana on 8 May 1917, and a native of New Orleans, La. died on Monday, 6 June 2011 after complications following open heart surgery. His death was unexpected and he had anticipated taking trips to Russia, Dallas, Orlando and Las Vegas with his family this summer. His will to live life to the fullest was exemplified in his daily activities and involvement in the community. He was a graduate of Jesuit High School (1933) and Loyola University (1938). He was a full-time instructor in Loyola University Dental School from 1938-1942. He was attending medical school prior to being pulled to teach dentistry full-time during WWII. He served in the Army Dental Corps in World War II (1942-1946) and was stationed overseas in India and the South Pacific. He was in private practice in New Orleans from 1946-1950 and entered the U.S. Air Force at the outbreak of the Korean war in 1950. During his active duty military experience, he met his wife, Beverly Kathleen Elmer, and married her in 1959. He decided to the make service a career and retired from the USAF in 1967. While active duty, he was head of the dental clinic at McCoy AFB in Orlando, Florida and also the dentist assigned to a select B- 29 squadron during WWII. He, in fact, was recently interviewed by the National World War II Museum to discuss his dental service during this time period. He devoted himself to his two children and his wife, Beverly (also a USAF officer (nurse)) and was the epitome of what a father should be. He was a life member of the New Orleans, Louisiana and American Dental Associations. His life-long interest in conjuring kept him very active and engaged in magic. He was a member of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM). He has been awarded the Order of Merlin Excelsior (for those members with over 60 years of membership; he had 65) by the IBM. He also recently reunited with Ring 27 of New Orleans. He was known as an avid photographer and has gone to great lengths to get the "perfect shot". He took his camera wherever he went and loved taking pictures of his family. He is survived by his devoted and grateful children: daughter Dr. Kathleen B. Elmer and son, Leonard J. Elmer, Jr. He has a sister, Mary Alice Long (currently residing in California) and 3 granddaughters: Sarah K. Parks, Rachel C. Elmer, Stephanie L. Elmer. He loved his wife dearly and her loss in 2007 affected him profoundly. Despite his loss, he continued to care for his granddaughter, Sarah, with whom he lived and shared his wisdom and love for life and magic with her. His loss cannot be measured and his contribution to his family is profound. His legacy of love, life and gusto for making every day count are remembered by his actions. Visitation will be held at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchar-train Blvd, New Orleans, La. (Monday, 13 June, 0900-1100) with Mass to follow.

Sue leaves her husband of 60 years, Harry, "HD", four children, ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Born July 24, 1928 in Ponchatoula, Louisiana to the late Buford and Harriet (Hattie) Neelis Thames, she lived her adult life in Falls Church, Virginia, always maintaining her ties to Louisiana, especially Hammond and New Orleans. A memorial service for Sue will be held on Saturday, June 25th at 11:00 AM in Grace Memorial Episcopal Church, Hammond, LA. Visitation with the family at the church at 10:00 AM. Sue graduated from Southeastern Louisiana College in Hammond, La., and moved to Georgetown, Washington, DC in 1949 to work for the federal government. She returned to graduate school in social work at UNC, Chapel Hill and LSU in Baton Rouge. Married in 1951, she traveled extensively with her husband, first to London and South Africa where he was a Rotary fellow. Later trips took them around the world. They settled in the Washington area in 1953 as he continued his work as an attorney in private practice. A woman of grace and a keen sense of humor, Sue loved her family and the wide circle of friends she maintained throughout her life. Her extensive family, grammar schoolmates from her hometown of Hammond, her housemates in Georgetown, friends and neighbors through her years in Falls Church and in the retirement community of Goodwin House, she kept in touch with everyone. Her parties were always well attended and beautifully organized affairs, including two splendid wedding receptions for her daughters, and annual birthday parties for her mother. She was most proud of her children, their families and her husband. For many years, Harry marked the anniversary of their union with a red rose for each year of their time together, the last being a show stopping 59 long stemmed roses in September, 2010. Mrs. Hutson was a lifelong Episcopalian. Her deep roots of faith were planted at Grace Memorial Church in Hammond. Founded by her great grandparents, the church was the place of her own baptism, confirmation and wedding, where her children were baptized, and from which she will be buried on June 25. She was a member of The Falls Church Episcopal Church in Falls Church, Virginia, where she was head of the Altar Guild, and president of the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) for several years. She and Harry were members of the "Bible Pals", a group of couples who met weekly for bible study and fellowship. An active volunteer in local organizations, she was a member of the Arlington Service League, later the Junior League, and the Mayflower Society. She was a member of the Virginia Diocesan Homes Board and then the Goodwin House Board of Trustees. She served on the Goodwin House Board during the development and construction of Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads, her home until the end of her life. She is survived by her husband, Harrison D. Hutson of Falls Church and their four children: Harriet Sue Hutson Gray of Falls Church, H. Darden Hutson, Jr. of Richmond, Geoffrey William Hutson (Charlotte) of Houston, Texas, and C.

He was the son of Charles Andre Lelong and Alice Richardson Lelong and, after the early death of his mother, he was adopted by his maternal grandparents, Francis Rivers Richardson and Iona Dowden Richardson. Mr. Lelong was a member of the New Orleans Academy Class of 1945, graduating several months early to enlist in the United States Navy for service at the end of World War II. He arrived at Okinawa shortly after the land battle ended, witnessed the continuing kamikaze attacks, and was scheduled to participate in the invasion of Japan as a crew member on a landing craft. Returning to New Orleans in 1946, he obtained his Bachelor's degree and law degree from Tulane University, during which time he also served briefly as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. At Tulane, Mr. Lelong was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, along with many of his NOA classmates. He served as an officer of the fraternity. While at Tulane, Mr. Lelong also became an avid duck hunter, a passion he followed for many decades until declining health limited his activities.

Following graduation from Tulane Law School, Mr. Lelong became a petroleum landman, working several years for Union Producing and then British-American. In the late 1950s, he became an independent land-man, brokering leases and assembling and selling his own drilling prospects. He began sharing office space and working with another landman, Frank Ashby, whom he had met through his duck hunting activities. Lelong and Ashby founded Kenmore Oil Company, and, after that enterprise ended, continued to share offices and work together representing landowners until the end of Mr. Lelong's life 50 years after the start of their friendship. After Kenmore Oil Company ceased operations, Mr. Lelong founded his own exploration firm, Westover Oil Company, which was an active independent oil company throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In later years, he was an active shareholder and board member of the Take 5 Oil Change, founded by his friend Monty Montgomery. Mr. Lelong was a strong believer in exercise and a member of the New Orleans Athletic Club for more than five decades. He was also a long-time member of the Pickwick Club.

He arrived at Okinawa shortly after the land battle ended, witnessed the continuing kamikaze attacks, and was scheduled to participate in the invasion of Japan as a crew member on a landing craft. Returning to New Orleans in 1946, he obtained his Bachelor's degree and law degree from Tulane University, during which time he also served briefly as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. At Tulane, Mr. Lelong was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, along with many of his NOA classmates. He served as an officer of the fraternity. While at Tulane, Mr. Lelong also became an avid duck hunter, a passion he followed for many decades until declining health limited his activities. Mr. Lelong and his friends later formed the "Plairie Club," which was the scene of many successful duck hunts. Members of, and visitors to, the Plairie Club included many friends from NOA, Tulane, and the Beta house, such as John Jackson, Chuck Ogden, Minnie Ochsner, Buzzy Killeen, Harry Gamble, Monty Montgomery, Jimmy Boulet, Andre Wogan, and Jack Gordon, many of whom have passed away over the years. Following graduation from Tulane Law School, Mr. Lelong became a petroleum landman, working several years for Union Producing and then British-American. In the late 1950s, he became an independent land-man, brokering leases and assembling and selling his own drilling prospects. He began sharing office space and working with another landman, Frank Ashby, whom he had met through his duck hunting activities. Lelong and Ashby founded Kenmore Oil Company, and, after that enterprise ended, continued to share offices and work together representing landowners until the end of Mr. Lelong's life 50 years after the start of their friendship. After Kenmore Oil Company ceased operations, Mr. Lelong founded his own exploration firm, Westover Oil Company, which was an active independent oil company throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In later years, he was an active shareholder and board member of the Take 5 Oil Change, founded by his friend Monty Montgomery. Mr. Lelong was a strong believer in exercise and a member of the New Orleans Athletic Club for more than five decades. He was also a long-time member of the Pickwick Club. Mr. Lelong supported a variety of local institutions, including Tulane University, Trinity Episcopal School, the Garden District Association, and City Park. He married Patricia Neff in 1963 and had two sons: Francis Rivers Lelong, Jr. (Kristine) and Bruce Richardson Lelong (Lynn), both residents of New Orleans. Mrs. Lelong died in 1979, and Mr. Lelong never remarried. In addition to his sons and daughters-in-law, Mr. Lelong is survived by three grandchildren: Francis Rivers Lelong III, Patrick Richardson Lelong, and Evelyn Porter Lelong, and his very good friend and cousin, R. Richardson "Dick" King. He is also survived by his siblings: Marion P. Lelong, Virginia Lelong Penn, J. Dubose Lelong, and Marguerite Lelong Kelly, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his brother Chaffraix A. Lelong. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, June 15th, 2001 at Trinity Episcopal Church, followed by a reception for family and friends. Visitation will begin at the church at 9:30 a.m. Interment will occur at a later date and will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in honor of Mr. Lelong to Trinity Episcopal School where Mr. Lelong established three endowed funds during his life.

He is survived by his brother Thomas Benbury (Ben) Lockett. In his youth, Father Lockett was a parishioner of Holy Name of Jesus. He attended Holy Name of Jesus Elementary and Jesuit High Schools and Tulane University. He served our country in World War II on the USS Richmond. Father Lockett served as a Jesuit Scholastic in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) for 4 years. He left the Jesuits to become a Secular Priest, and from 1962 until his death, he served the Mayan Indians in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. His goal as a missionary Catholic priest in Mexico was "to serve the poorest of the poor", and to "show them the richness of the faith". He devoted his life to this purpose. In his lifetime, Father Lockett was able to greatly improve the standard of living for these Indians, due in part to the efforts of his sister, Betty Lockett (who died in 1997) who established the Chiapas Mission to fund his work. Father Lockett's missionary work included promoting a medical campaign, establishing an experimental farm to improve harvests, building of boarding houses near governmental schools so that young boys and girls living in remote areas could get a good education. Father Lockett provided food, clothing and recreational facilities and said Mass for them regularly. 6/23/2011 Times Picayune **************************************** 000535 LOIACANO Sibyl L.

Catherine was a Catholic Christian and attended Sacred Heart High School; she was involved in St. Dominic Catholic Church in Lakeview and Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Nacogdoches after moving there in 2005 after hurricane Katrina.

Born on September 12th, 1928 in Buffalo, New York, Aileen was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love. Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so dear, we will always be inspired by her remarkable ability to bounce back from adversity. Born with spinal bifada, the doctors said she would not live, but oh! live she did! and it was with vim and vigor, traveling to Alaska with her mother and sister Marnie as a teen ager on a steam ship to Alaska, where she met the love of her life Mickey Marsh, while working in the co-op photography dept. He was a war correspondent / photographer and Aileen was also modeling for Griffens studio. When her beloved Mickey died, Aileen's instructions to the military "Taps" being played at the end of the ceremony to be immediately followed by "Revelry". Aileen had an extraordinary depth of joy in life one would find nearly impossible to emulate, her standard answer after any adversity was "I am great" and indeed, she always was. An amazingly good bridge player and teacher, she never missed a chance to make it to the club, and if she couldn't make it to the club to play, the club came to Aileen in the hospital. Aileen's persona was that of style and grace one in this life seldom gets to see, but will always be remembered, especially by her best friend of so many years Bill Treadaway. Aileen, was always ready to hop on and go along for the ride, but now we have to stand apart waving our goodbye to you Aileen, on this last trip home. Our amazing grace has left this shore. Preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, M.W. (Mickey) Marsh.

He is survived by his fiancée, Nannette Hebert Palmer; his father, Ronald Sellman; his sister Ann, her husband, Grady Harper, and their children: Hayden and Ellie. 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.

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.
