She was most recently a resident of Lacombe Nursing Home in Lacombe, LA. She graduated from Mt. Carmel High School in New Orleans in 1951. Most knew her as a wonderful seamstress whereby she designed and sewed costumes for many carnival clubs, including those she and her late husband, George Raymond Bruno, formed in St. Bernard Parish (the Krewe of Juno and Jupiter). She was preceded in death by her parents Lydia Benit Quentin and Rene Aubry Quentin, Jr., her brother Rene Aubry Quentin and her sister Yvonne Quentin Landry and her first born son Michael George Bruno. She is survived by her two sons: Rene Steven Bruno (future fiance of Jackie Rabalais) and Gary Quentin Bruno and her beloved grandchildren: Amy Renee Bruno, William Anthony Canada II and Christie Lynn Bruno who were her world.

A special thanks to the doctors and staff at Regency Hospital of Covington for not only their care, but for their compassion during her time of need. Evelyn Quentin Bruno, along with her husband George organized St. Bernard's first night procession in 1969, when the Krewe of Jupiter hit the streets consisting of an all man organization. The following year Evelyn formed the all women's organization, the Krewe of Juno. Both organizations had over 200 members with Evelyn the captain of Juno and George the captain of Jupiter. Together with her husband they owned a men's clothing store called the Sharp Shop where she got started with alterations and then moved onto her carnival costume business. With the help of her son, Michael Bruno, they designed and completed (all the way to the finishing touches) costumes for a number of Krewes in the New Orleans area including but not limited to Vikings, Gladiators, Juno, Jupiter, Rhea, Shangri La, Thor and many others. The patterns were often made out of plain brown paper bags and the finished product would be a beautiful masterpiece of design, color, sequins and plums. Her bu! siness grew as the carnival clubs got larger, and she began to outsource the krewe costumes but the court costumes consisting of maids, dukes, kings & queens stayed under her hand.

As she honed her political skills, she later served as Representative Boggs' Executive Assistant, coordinating constituent outreach and special projects. Ms. Chippel never lost her interest in New Orleans area politics. In 1976 she played a key role in the election of her good friend, Rose Loving, as the first black woman to serve on the New Orleans School Board. She was a key campaign operative in John Breaux's 1986 election to the U.S. Senate; Billy Tauzin's 1987 campaign for Governor of Louisiana; and J. Bennett Johnston's successful reelection campaign to the U.S. Senate in 1990. She also played a key role in each of the subsequent reelection campaigns of Representative Lindy Boggs. When Representative Boggs retired in 1990, Ms. Chippel worked for Representative Frank Guarini (D-NJ) as his executive assistant and office manager, and then in 1993 as office manager for Representative Eva Clayton (D-NC). She was highly regarded in the Washington area, as well as in New Orleans. Ms. Chippel retired from Congressional service in 2002. When she moved to the Washington area, it afforded her an opportunity to foster a special relationship with her nieces and nephew who lived in Maryland. In recent years, this love of family especially extended to her seven great- nephews and -nieces. Family was most important to her and she enjoyed entertaining family and friends and cooking the food of her adopted hometown, New Orleans. She was also an avid collector of antiques. A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2o11 at 12:00 noon at Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish located at 1800 Seton Drive in Crofton, Maryland followed by a lunch reception at the home of her sister.

Born in New York City to Peter and Ruth Schneider she graduated from high school in Scarsdale. Judy spent her childhood summers at Cape Cod in her family's summer home which she loved and later shared with her friends until it was sold after her father's death. After enrolling in college on the East Coast, she decided that a change of scenery was in order and transferred to Pomona College in Claremont, CA. After returning to the East Coast and graduating from Harvard Law School, Judy practiced law and held various positions, including, partner at Lovejoy, Wasson, head of the securities group at Mellon Bank, and general counsel at Hibernia Bank. Judy was a member of the Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals and its Chairman from 1992-1993. She co- authored various publications on corporate governance. An expert in the field, she spent several years in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union and worked tirelessly with NGO's to assist Eastern European and former Soviet Bloc nations to build and maintain stable corporate and financial systems. Her love for theatre and modern dance, especially ballet, was unwavering. Among other positions, Judy was a Board Member of the New Orleans Ballet Association from 1992 through 1998. There was no show on Broadway or off-off Broadway that she did not attend. An avid traveler, Judy introduced her many friends to Golden Rock in Nevis and Rollins' rum cocktails long before Nevis became fashionable. Judy applied her boundless energy to everything she did and everyone she met. She did not shy away from lively debate, especially political. Any left leaning liberal could always rely on her zealous support. She dispensed advice on any subject to close friends and new acquaintances alike. Judy was a stickler for the propriety of others, but not her own. She advised that "houseguests were like fish" and should be tossed out after three days. However, as a houseguest, her sojourns lasted longer than her prescription. She was an adventurous and industrious cook and baker to the delight and dismay of her friends. She once cooked broccoli rabe for 120 people for the Palio on Minetta Street and took charge of neighborhood children for set-up and table service. At Christmas, she manufactured her renowned spiced nuts and cookies for holiday delivery. Most of all Judy loved to entertain friends at home and her Thanksgiving dinners were produced as super sized crowd pleasers. After Hurricane Katrina and learning of her illness, Judy left New Orleans. Following a long search she found a new home in which she could celebrate her final Thanksgiving in the company of her closest friends. She purchased and renovated a house in Connecticut and continued those renovations until her death. Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday and her last one was joyfully celebrated with the family that she created through will and circumstance. Donations in Judy's memory may be made to The Joyce Theater Foundation (www.joyce.org) or Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (www.mskcc.org). A gathering to celebrate Judy's life will be held in the Fall at a date to be determined.

They returned to the New Orleans area in the early 1970s to raise their daughter, and lived in River Ridge. Barbara was an avid reader, animal lover, gourmet cook, and a lover of theatre and music. As a member of All Saints Episcopal Church in River Ridge, she helped compile and edit the first edition of the successful La Bonne Cuisine cookbook, which has sold over 160,000 copies, with the proceeds benefiting the church. She was a wonderful mother to Jennie, and was involved in her schooling as a room mother and a Girl Scout leader.

The bird, who lived for several years after that, would follow her everywhere, sitting on her head or shoulder when she was outside.Mrs. Doyle was an environmentalist before the word existed. She preferred an open window to an air-conditioned room, used plastic bags sparingly, and loved locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables.When young, she had flaming red hair, which slowly softened to strawberry blond, and then to white. She often spoke of how people teased about her freckles or her red hair. "They would call me carrot-top," she would often laugh.At various times in her life, Mrs. Doyle loved to travel, and often stayed with her daughter, Bonnie in Portland, Oregon, where she hiked in the Columbia River Gorge and the Oregon Coast with family and friends.She also loved the Louisiana Bayou country where she fished, ate crawfish, and spent a great deal of time on an island camp with her son, Darius and his family.She was a devoted mother, kind, shy, sensitive, patient and humble. She smiled easily, and often laughed at herself.She was the daughter of Darius Felix Millet and Alice Kroll Millet of Gramercy, and sister of Olga Millet Donahue and Gladys Millet David, all deceased.Survivors include two daughters, Bonnie Seal of Portland, Oregon (husband, Jim) and Mignon Moncada (husband, John) of Metairie; two sons, Michael (wife, Susan), and Darius Doyle (wife, Julie), both of Lafayette.

He lettered in all sports at Country Day and was an outstanding sprinter in track and field. He won several individual and relay-team championships at both the league and state levels. Some of his league records still stand today, many years later. He was also a letterman on the Tulane track team, specializing in the 220-yard dash. In later life he became an accomplished water skier. His family's most notable civic contributions are the old Howard Memorial Library Building, at the foot of Howard Avenue on the river side of Lee Circle and the Howard-Tilton Library on the Tulane campus. Harry has placed a provision in his will for the establishment of a charitable trust to, in some modest way, perpetuate such acts of charity. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service today, Wednesday, July 13, 2011, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1329 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans. Visitation begins at 9:30 a.m. with the service at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at the Howard Family Tomb in Metairie Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Harry asks that you consider a gift to the Trinity Church Perpetual Memorial Endowment Fund or the charity of your choice. The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all of the caregivers who took care of Mr. Howard during the years and most recently those at Woldenberg Village, St. Anna's Residence and Linda Jones.

John earned a Bachelor's of Electrical Engineering at the University of Kentucky, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The friendships attained in college lasted a lifetime. Retaining the manners and values of his Southern heritage, John displayed foresight into the information age as a young man. This foresight led to a passion for the new field of computer programming. Among the employers that benefited from his expertise were the Kroger Company and Entergy of New Orleans.

These hobbies served as the backdrop for a five-year romance with his future wife. In 1984 he moved to his final home in Algiers, Louisiana. New Orleans offered the perfect environment for him to enjoy retirement and do the things he loved most, such as attending the fabulous festivals and enjoying his children and grandchildren. An avid reader, John also enjoyed watching classic movies with his grandchildren. In December 1986 he married the love of his life, Bridget Ordway, and embraced her three children as his own. Fondly called "Papa John" by his children and grandchildren, he relished the role of parent and grandparent in the best years of his life! He was preceded in death by his wife of 24 years, Bridget Gordon Ordway. He is survived by the children he loved unconditionally: daughter Mary Cooper Moffat and her husband, James G. Moffat; son Jerry D. Cooper, and daughter Lea Cooper Landry and her companion, Timothy P. Frey. All reside in New Orleans.

She was the daughter of Dr. James Edward Winston, a history professor at Tulane University, and Ruth Augusta Walker Winston, a very talented musician and organist at several churches in New Orleans. Nell was a person no one ever forgot. Her personality radiated optimism, enthusiasm and humor, and she took her happiness with her everywhere she went. Nell always gave more than she received and she had a meaningful presence in the lives of so many. She was a gifted musician - perhaps as gifted as any. She had perfect pitch and could sight sing any piece of music without a false note and was an even better pianist. She could sit down to a Mozart sonata that she never heard before - filled with sixteenth notes and sharps and flats - and gallop through it with nary a mistake. "I never saw a more naturally gifted musician than Nell", said Adelaide Benjamin, a life-long friend. She was also quite an ac! tress. She played Rose in True Brew theatre's "Ruthless" and in many, many Tulane Summer Lyric Productions, her most recent being the mayor's wife in "The Music Man." She also performed with the New Orleans Children's Theatre and the Taradiddle Players, and in other university productions at both Tulane and Loyola. She sang for over forty years with the Trinity Episcopal Church's Trio (with Adelaide Benjamin and Harriet Nelson) and before that, with the Junior League Choral Group. She was both pianist and vocalist with the musical group "ReGeneration", where she performed with Johnny Parker, Matt Scoggin, and life-long friend M. I. Scoggin. Nell was a tireless worker throughout the community, which brought her into contact with countless people. She received the Junior League Sustaining Award for Community Service in 1978, served as a member of the vestry of Trinity Church, was past-president and board member of St. Anna's, a board member of the Poydras Home, past-preside! nt and active member of the New Orleans Town Gardeners, and was active in many other organizations. Some of her many passions included reading, baking, needle pointing, quilting, and gardening.

Swartz, age 97 of Waco, TX and formerly of New Orleans, LA, joined a host of saints including his beloved Myrtis on Thursday, July 7. A celebration of his life will be held Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in the sanctuary of Seventh & James Baptist Church in Waco, TX with the Reverend Dr. Raymond Bailey, officiating. A reception and greeting of the family will follow. Dr. Swartz was born August 8, 1913 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the 8th and last child born to his loving parents Claudia and Sam Swartz. The 97 years that followed read like several men's lives ~ stage actor of renown, singer, preacher, Seminary professor, writer, speaker, fisherman, furniture refinisher, fine father and devoted husband. After a stint in the professional life of the theatre on both coasts, Swartz enrolled at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth where he received three advanced degrees, interrupted by an U.S. Army tour, 1942 to 1946. Holding a Doctorate of Religious Education, Swartz moved with wife, Myrtis and daughters Sandra and Susan to Louisiana in 1951 to teach religious drama at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he would serve until 1980. Later he became Professor of Preaching also acting as interim pastor to more than 25 churches across Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama as well as teaching preaching at Loyola Seminary following Vatican II. During a 1961 Sabbatical leave, Wilbur entered Tulane University as a graduate student in the drama department where he earned the Award for Outstanding Actor for his role as Willie Loman in "Death of a Salesman" and a relationship with Tulane that led to many years for Wilbur as leading man of Tulane Center Stage, a professional repertory company through which he became Henry II in "The Lion in Winter," Othello and a host of other Shakespearean roles, Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," and numerous others. Former chair of Tulane's drama department, Dr. Milly S. Barranger, described Swartz as "the pillar of the company." He was with Tulane Center Stage from the year it opened, 1973 until he retired in 1980, though he also returned for the 1982 season. Swartz was also heralded at Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré for his role as Sir Wilfrid in Agatha Chrisitie's "Witness for the Prosecution," a role made famous by Charles Laughton in the 1956 movie. In addition to following their Daddy across the South to hear him preach and act, daughters Sandi and Susan most loved following him into the waters of Lake Pontchartrain, the Gulf of Mexico or Bayou Des Allemands to fish. No one else quite knew how to maneuver to find such a catch and "Daddy" never tired of baiting hooks and teaching technique. Following his retirement, Wilbur, Myrtis and Sandi moved to Waco to be near Susan's family and to take grandson Evan on "great adventures." But Waco also provided a return to his beloved Baylor and a role in 1981 as The Stroller in "The Towers of the Brazos," the dramatic history of Baylor. Dr. Swartz was preceded in death this past February by his wife of 68 years, Myrtis Bowden Swartz; parents, Sam Swartz and Claudia Moore Swartz; six sisters and one brother. He is survived by daughters Sandra Lynn (Sandi) Swartz, daughter and son-in-law Susan and John Cowley of Waco; son and daughter-by-choice James and Linda Kuo of Fort Worth; grandsons Evan Cowley of Austin, Jesus Garcia of Waco, and Peter, William and Nicholas Kuo; and great grandchildren Edgar, Mariana and Lexi Garcia; many beloved Swartz and Bowden nieces and nephews.

Husband of the late Phyllis Glaser Wilenzick. Devoted husband, father, grandfather, and renowned Edison phonograph collector, Ray was a Professor of Physics at Tulane University and then worked as a medical physicist at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans. Born in Monroe, Louisiana, he was a graduate of Neville High School, then Tulane University and earned his Ph.D. from Duke University in 1962. He married Phyllis in 1963. Ray and Phyllis were real "New Orleanians", but moved to Atlanta six years ago to be near their daughters and several of their grand-children. Ray had a deep passion for antique phonographs -- always looking for them in flea markets, tinkering with them or fixing them in his spare time. There was nothing he liked more than to regale visitors with trivia about this phonograph or that one, or why Edison's cylinders were round and not flat. He was a lifelong member of Temple Sinai in New Orleans and later became an active member of Temple Sinai of Atlanta. Ray and Phyllis travelled avidly, making the most of their retirement. Those who knew them knew that they were opposites in personality but team-mates in life, through and through. They shared 47 happy years of marriage in both New Orleans and Atlanta until Phyllis tragically passed away in April. Both will be missed dearly by their family and friends. Survivors include his son and daughter-in- law, Marc Wilenzick and Jill Zeitlin, Briarcliff Manor, New York; daughter and son-in-law, Wendy Rosen and Daniel Rosen, Alpharetta, Georgia; daughter and son-in-law, Lauren Sturisky and Selwyn Sturisky, Sandy Springs, Georgia; grandchildren: Haley and Drew Wilenzick; Sarah and Eliana Rosen; Ilana, Adam and Ryan Sturisky.

It says: "In the far distant future may it be said that the owners and stewards of this land so used and protected it that it has been able to absorb the energies of the other forces, those of the infinitely small, of the winds, the birds and the animals, to once again create a balanced ecological microcosm. In this process, effort shall be made to present the financially viable operation, participating fully in the life of the times, the culture and the community. Where possible, the farm shall act as a model for small family husbandry as a source of gain, as well as personal resource of food and beauty".She was a practiced storyteller, and loved both photography and reading. Her passion for reading continued until the end, and though her eyesight was failing, she would have family and close friends read to her on a daily basis.Betty served as both a Vice President and Director of Williams, Inc. for over forty years, and as a director of City Center Realty and Williams Land Company, LLC.
