Through the years Darlene held numerous positions and in 1982 she was named Director of the University Center. During this period she remained committed to her own education and received a MEd in Counselor Education in May of 1980. By the early 1990's she was appointed as the Director of Auxiliary Services.

Beloved daughter the late Raymond Vincent Berggren and Hortense Montblanc Berggren. She will be dearly missed by her family and all who knew her. Darlene was a part of the UNO family for more than 40 years having served most recently as UNO's Director of Auxiliary Services. She enrolled at Louisiana State University at New Orleans (LSUNO) in September 1966 and attained her Bachelor of Arts degree in English Education in May of 1970. After working as a student employee, Darlene was hired as a full time employee of LSUNO in 1970 serving as the Program Advisor for the University Center. Through the years Darlene held numerous positions and in 1982 she was named Director of the University Center. During this period she remained committed to her own education and received a MEd in Counselor Education in May of 1980. By the early 1990's she was appointed as the Director of Auxiliary Services.

She is survived by her children, Jeanne Suzanne Praytor, Julie Anne Gautreaux, Stephen Frederick Bowes, Roy Morrow Bowes, and Patrick James Bowes, 16 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her mother, father and brother, Odette Roy Duvic, Mr. Frank Roger Duvic, Jr. and Frank Roger Duvic III, who represented turn-of-the-century Gretna as the owners of the town's Duvic's Hardware on Huey P. Long Avenue. Julie Bowes began her career of 30 years as the Food Editor of the Times-Picayune in 1949 under the pen name of Sue Baker. To her family's delight, she tested her recipes on them that she used in her twice-weekly column, on Thursdays and in living color on Sundays in the Dixie Roto Magazine. Even as recently as this past year, she has been contacted by the present Food Editors for people seeking some long lost recipes of hers. Her career was a natural for her as she graduated from LSU in Home Economics in 1942 and found her lifelong joy in cooking. Mrs. Bowes was very active all of her life in her community, painting beautiful watercolors and creating prizewinning flower exhibits as President of the Twilight Gardeners. She was active in St. Joseph Church in Gretna, the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Lions Club and Knights of Columbus, tutoring children, and was a Volunteer of America mentor at an elementary school and a "Reading Lady" at the Covington Head Start program when she and her husband moved to the Christwood Retirement Community 15 years ago. There she served as chairwoman of the Dining Committee and the Bridge Club, used her extensive computer skills for Christwood, and was a Eucharistic Minister of Communion to the sick. She was an active member of and a daily communicant at her church, St. Anselm of Madisonville. She was a master seamstress, creating and making her own wedding dress for her marriage to Lt. Fred Bowes during World War II after being chosen "Little Colonel" for the LSU ROTC. She was an accomplished golfer, but most of all a beloved "Mimi" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who loved her dearly.

She is survived by her children, Jeanne Suzanne Praytor, Julie Anne Gautreaux, Stephen Frederick Bowes, Roy Morrow Bowes, and Patrick James Bowes, 16 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren.

She was born in Indianapolis, IN on May 7, 1924 to the late John Barkley and Martha Vairin Witherspoon. She was a long time resident of New Orleans, resided in Covington since 1996, and was the beloved wife of the late J. Taylor Caffery, whom she married in 1946. She is survived by two daughters: Martha Caffery Effler (Dean) of Yakima, WA and Barbara Caffery Newhouse (Peter) of Baton Rouge; two sons: Taylor L. Caffery (Mary Ann) of Baton Rouge and Donelson Caffery (Angie Wiggins) of Powhatan, VA; one sister, Monk Brannan (Carl); four grandchildren: Erin C. Effler, Keith C. Effler (Stephanie), Adam B. Newhouse (Niki), Rebekah A. Newhouse; and one great-grandson, Bryce A. Kelly. She was preceded in death by one sister, Brucie Witherspoon Rafferty. Ellie was a world traveler, a scholar, a sportswoman, a philanthropist, and a dedicated New Orleans uptowner. She graduated with honors from Louise S. McGehee School in 1941 (she was, in later years, proud to be a member of Mrs. Yancey's book club); and Vassar College, 1944-45, with a degree in bacteriology. Following graduation, she did sweet potato research for the Department of Agriculture. She volunteered many hours with the New Orleans Public Schools, the Junior League of New Orleans and perhaps most notably with the development of the Holman Vocational Center, which later merged with Goodwill Industries. Ellie never ceased to read, search and learn. She developed a fascination with anthropology, and became an amateur expert in Mayan history and culture. At Tulane she also undertook a graduate degree in American Literature. Her thesis delved into mother-daughter relationships in the literary world, especially that of Zelda and Scottie Fitzgerald. Her love of the arts kept her active as a patron of the New Orleans Museum of Art and an enthusiastic supporter of the local theatre and philharmonic events. She was the Queen of Momus immediately following World War Two. Her many adventures took her to every continent, including Antarctica twice. She was photographed at the helm of a Russian icebreaker, and she once speared a crocodile in the Amazon. She and Taylor scuba dived in the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Caribbean. She was especially fond of Guatemala, Mexico's Quintana Roo and the US Grand Canyon. She also loved bird watching, tennis, and was a competitor at badminton in tournaments the world over. When at home, she was an extraordinary hostess. She said, "It is all the experiences I've been given from other people that made my life. Even in Lacombe, it's a different place when people come to visit. It's not what you do by yourself, but what's done with other people that's important." Her family expresses its deep gratitude to the physicians, nurses and staff of St. Tammany Hospital, Christwood Retirement Community, and Canon Hospice for their care during her final days. A gathering to celebrate Ellie's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, December 9, 2011 at her country home, 28690 Ruth Rd., Lacombe, LA 70445. A reception will continue until 4:00 PM. E.J.

She was the Queen of Momus immediately following World War Two. Her many adventures took her to every continent, including Antarctica twice. She was photographed at the helm of a Russian icebreaker, and she once speared a crocodile in the Amazon. She and Taylor scuba dived in the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Caribbean. She was especially fond of Guatemala, Mexico's Quintana Roo and the US Grand Canyon. She also loved bird watching, tennis, and was a competitor at badminton in tournaments the world over. When at home, she was an extraordinary hostess. She said, "It is all the experiences I've been given from other people that made my life. Even in Lacombe, it's a different place when people come to visit. It's not what you do by yourself, but what's done with other people that's important." Her family expresses its deep gratitude to the physicians, nurses and staff of St. Tammany Hospital, Christwood Retirement Community, and Canon Hospice for their care during her final days.

She was born in Indianapolis, IN on May 7, 1924 to the late John Barkley and Martha Vairin Witherspoon. She was a long time resident of New Orleans, resided in Covington since 1996, and was the beloved wife of the late J. Taylor Caffery, whom she married in 1946. She is survived by two daughters: Martha Caffery Effler (Dean) of Yakima, WA and Barbara Caffery Newhouse (Peter) of Baton Rouge; two sons: Taylor L. Caffery (Mary Ann) of Baton Rouge and Donelson Caffery (Angie Wiggins) of Powhatan, VA; one sister, Monk Brannan (Carl); four grandchildren: Erin C. Effler, Keith C. Effler (Stephanie), Adam B. Newhouse (Niki), Rebekah A. Newhouse; and one great-grandson, Bryce A. Kelly. She was preceded in death by one sister, Brucie Witherspoon Rafferty. Ellie was a world traveler, a scholar, a sportswoman, a philanthropist, and a dedicated New Orleans uptowner. She graduated with honors from Louise S. McGehee School in 1941 (she was, in later years, proud to be a member of Mrs. Yancey's book club); and Vassar College, 1944-45, with a degree in bacteriology. Following graduation, she did sweet potato research for the Department of Agriculture. She volunteered many hours with the New Orleans Public Schools, the Junior League of New Orleans and perhaps most notably with the development of the Holman Vocational Center, which later merged with Goodwill Industries.

He was 95 years old. When native New Orleanian Billy Diamond was a teenager, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong gave him a trumpet, which he never learned to play, but instead opted to build a washtub bass, a decision inspired by his cousin, a gifted bass player named John Porter. He then became a Dixieland bass player under the mentorship of Oscar "Papa" Celestin, an American jazz bandleader and musician who made huge contributions to jazz during his lifetime. During World War II, Diamond took a position with the army and became the first man of color to book entertainment for the troops. Always an enterprising individual, Billy soon became one of the top bandleaders in New Orleans. He also entered the competitive music scene in his hometown, playing clubs and school dances. Billy then set the wheels of history in motion when he accepted an invitation to hear a young pianist perform at a backyard barbecue in the summer of 1947. The pianist, Antoine Domino, impressed Diamond enough that he asked Domino to play in his combo, the Solid Senders. He nicknamed the kid "Fats" because Domino reminded him of renowned pianists Fats Waller and Fats Pichon. "Fats" Domino then went on to his own brilliant career as an American R&B artist and major influence in rock and roll history. Billy became Domino's road manager in the early 1950s. In the 50s and 60s, Diamond began promoting other artists, including Shirley and Lee, Huey "Piano" Smith, James Booker and Solomon Burke. In the early 1960s, Billy and his wife relocated to Los Angeles, where he hired bands and managed all operations the 5-4 Ballroom. In his career, Billy has done it all: bandleader, mentor, visionary, writer and Blues legend. He was an integral contributor to one of the most successful musical movements of the post WWII era, a respected musician, and an excellent manager. Billy was a man of great integrity, always keeping an open mind and a kind heart to all. He was courageous, diplomatic and fearless. He had a way of making everyone feel special, important and cherished. Billy is survived by his daughters, Tricia Diamond of Washington and Tracie Diamond of Michigan, and grandsons, Jameson Pierce Diamond and Travis Steven Diamond both of Washington, loving family across the country, as well as countless friends from all over the world who will miss him dearly. Service Information: Billy's services and burial will be held at 1pm Friday at St Louis Number One to which relatives and friends are invited to attend.

He was surrounded by many who loved him. He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 62 years, Gladys Elizabeth "Bette" Howard Ellender and his parents, Bennie Ellender, Sr. and the former Alice Gray of Sulphur, LA. He is survived by his brother, Vaughn Ellender of Sulphur, LA and his children in spirit, Stephanie Palmisano, Stephen Grilletta (Michelle) and Rachael Brideveaux (George) as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins that adored him. Coach Ellender was born to play and win. He graduated from Sulphur High School where he was recruited by Monk Simons to Tulane. He started as a tailback and wingback under Coach Bobby Kellogg as a freshman. Following a break for WWII, he returned from the Navy for his senior year at starting Quarterback for Coach Henry Finka. He received a Bachelor of Education from Tulane and went on to LSU for a Master's of Science. During his post graduate work, he met the love of his life, Gladys Elizabeth "Bette" Howard from New Orleans at the Audubon Park Swimming Pool. The two were married in 1949. Coach Ellender began coaching at Westlake High School where in 1953 he led his team to the State Championship. In 1959 he joined Coach Andy Pilney's staff at Tulane serving as freshman and offensive backfield coach. He moved to Arkansas State University and soon took over as head coach. At ASU, he led his team to the Pecan Bowl Championships in 1969 and 1970. His teams were in the national rankings six of his eight years. His 1970 team was rated #1 in the NCAA college division. He was voted Southland Conference Coach of the year three times. Coach Ellender was the winningest coach in ASU history and produced more all-Americans (8) than were developed in the school's history culminating in the AFCA College Division Coach of the Year. It's no wonder Tulane called him back to New Orleans in 1971 where his quiet patience and determined perseverance paid off. He led Tulane to its finest season in 25 years in 1973, winning 14-0 over rival LSU. This time he was named UPI Coach of the Year. Off the field he was a man of much generosity. He attended First Baptist New Orleans serving as a greeter and Sunday school teacher to Special Education adults for many years. The family would like to thank the amazing staff of St Joseph Hospice and all of the loving staff at Sunrise Assisted Living of Metaire, all of which were drawn to this loving man. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service at Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive, Metairie on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 1:00 PM.
