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.

Enagonio The Enagonio family mourns the sudden and unexpected loss of our son, brother, and uncle Paul, who died of a heart attack while riding his bicycle near his home in Los Angeles on December 4, 2011. Born on Christmas Eve, 1958, Paul was the most exciting present of the year. As a child and teen, Paul played baseball and guitar. Early on, he developed a love for all things culinary. Many of us remember large ice sculptures and catering being produced in our family kitchen. Paul earned a double degree in Culinary Arts and Business Management from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He worked for many years in a multitude of managerial positions for the Houston's/Hillstone Restaurant Group. He lived in New Orleans from 1985 to about 2000 at which time he managed the Houston's Restaurants in Metarie and St. Charles. At the time of death, he was Vice President of Product and Menu Development for HRG in Los Angeles. Paul was passionate about fine food, fine wine, high performance cars, travel abroad, and many styles of music. He loved to talk politics, international affairs and economics. He was an avid bicyclist, and we take comfort that he was doing one of the things he loved when he died. Paul was predeceased by father Delmo, brother Bob, sister Janice, and brother-in-law Bob Newman (Liz). He leaves to cherish his memory mother Barbara, sisters Liz and Cat, brothers John and Tom, sister-in-law Glenda (John), brother-in-law Jim Toomey (Cat), nieces K and Nina, nephews Nick, Michael and Simon, special friend Therese Denis, extended family members, and countless friends including his HRG family. A celebration of Paul's life will be held at 9 am on January 21, 2012 at the Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Glendale, Ca.

Enagonio The Enagonio family mourns the sudden and unexpected loss of our son, brother, and uncle Paul, who died of a heart attack while riding his bicycle near his home in Los Angeles on December 4, 2011. Born on Christmas Eve, 1958, Paul was the most exciting present of the year. As a child and teen, Paul played baseball and guitar. Early on, he developed a love for all things culinary. Many of us remember large ice sculptures and catering being produced in our family kitchen. Paul earned a double degree in Culinary Arts and Business Management from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He worked for many years in a multitude of managerial positions for the Houston's/Hillstone Restaurant Group. He lived in New Orleans from 1985 to about 2000 at which time he managed the Houston's Restaurants in Metarie and St. Charles. At the time of death, he was Vice President of Product and Menu Development for HRG in Los Angeles. Paul was passionate about fine food, fine wine, high performance cars, travel abroad, and many styles of music. He loved to talk politics, international affairs and economics. He was an avid bicyclist, and we take comfort that he was doing one of the things he loved when he died. Paul was predeceased by father Delmo, brother Bob, sister Janice, and brother-in-law Bob Newman (Liz). He leaves to cherish his memory mother Barbara, sisters Liz and Cat, brothers John and Tom, sister-in-law Glenda (John), brother-in-law Jim Toomey (Cat), nieces K and Nina, nephews Nick, Michael and Simon, special friend Therese Denis, extended family members, and countless friends including his HRG family.

Jean was born in Dumont, NJ on July 21, 1932 to Frederick and Elsie Himmelberger, and was the youngest of three siblings. She is predeceased by her sisters Susan and Ruth. Jean graduated high school in NJ, and attended college at Stetson University in Deland, FL. Jean raised five children, one son, Charles who predeceased her, and surviving children Deborah, Renee, Karl and Stephanie. Jean is also survived by her two grandchildren Rachel and Ricky. Jean was a multi-talented woman who succeeded at whatever she put her mind to. While a stay-at-home mom, Jean led her oldest daughter's brownie troop - this quickly led to her leading the entire tri-state region for the Girl Scouts. Jean was a big-band jazz singer in Florida and, in Washington DC; she climbed the corporate ladder at Amtrak and later Intelsat. In her "retirement" Jean achieved award-winning sales as both a real estate agent and broker in the resort community of Pawleys Island South Carolina. Jean's hobbies and interests included music, tennis, golf, travel, reading, family, and home decorating. She also loved animals, and is survived by her dog, Laddie and cat, Tux. Jean was widowed when her husband Ron died in 1997, and she moved to the New Orleans area in 2004 to be closer to her children. Mom, we always admired your fearlessness (or, as you liked to call it, chutzpah). You would take on any challenge believing you would conquer it, speak your mind to anyone, and always stand up for your kids. You lived life on your own terms, and you can rest at ease knowing that this value has been passed on to us. You made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us crazy sometimes but you also made us who we are and we will miss you for the rest of our lives. Private serves were held.

She passed into the loving arms of the Lord on the 27th of December 2011 at home peacefully with her family by her side. Growing up in a home with her grandparents was very special. Her Irish mother influenced her the most, teaching her everything she needed to know about being a good Catholic child. She attended Ursuline Academy in New Orleans graduating as Valedictorian of 1945 and went on to finish Soule' Business College. She held many secretarial positions during WWII. She and her friends enjoyed going to the USO, dancing with servicemen and met her husband, Jack, at one of the dances. They were married for 63 years in September. In New Orleans, she belonged to the Airline Park Women's Club, taught CCD at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church, and was very involved in bowling leagues and square-dancing. Jack and she were considered the perfect dance partners. Jack's job moved the family often, from New Orleans to Lake Charles, to Shreveport and back to New Orleans, and eventually settling in Austin, Texas. Their home was always open and welcoming to the clergy as well as strangers that became friends. Rosemary led a life of service as devoted mother and wife, teacher and advisor. Her volunteer hours in Austin were divided among the Altar Society, Pink Ladies as President of the Ladies of Charity at Seton Hospital, Halfway House with Monsignor McCabe and baking birthday cakes to serve for the residents of the Austin State School. She was lovingly called "Grandma Rose" by her family and friends. Her strong faith in God and love of family was above all else. She was a charter and active member of St. Theresa Catholic Church. Her second great love was playing cards, particularly bridge, beginning in her business school days up until her death. Other passion included her love of cooking by sharing her secrets in the kitchen with her children and her love of music by teaching her children and grandchildren to play the piano and organ. Grandma Rose is preceded in death by her dearly loved mother, Ann Eliza Daly Ernst, her father Edward Andrew Ernest, Sr. and her brother Edward Andrew Ernst, Jr. She is survived by her loving, faithful husband James (Jack) J. Moore, Sr., her children, Karen and Chris Hull, Fort Worth; Susan Moore-Bennett and Andrew Gallegos, Corpus Christi; Melanie and Arnold Carbary, Round Rock and James J. Moore, Jr., Austin. She leaves behind her 8 grandchildren: Danny and Jenny Pickell, Rebecca Hull, Joey and Angela Pickell, Rachel Hull, Annabelle Bennett, Patrick Hull, Christopher and Caroline Hull, and Sam Bennett. Her great- grandchildren: Faith, Jaxon, Jameson, Keegan and Fiona will miss her dearly.

On December 12 at age 89. The cause of his death was congestive heart failure. He was born on February 8, 1922 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of George P. Rice and Kathleen E. Connolly. His parents divorced shortly after his birth and he was raised by his mother and grandmother. Most of his youth was spent in the throes of the Great Depression. In 1942 he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps. During his service, he was deployed to China and India earning an honorable discharge in 1946. He later graduated from both Lehigh University and the University of Pennsylvania, where he also served on the faculty of its Wharton School. While at Wharton he co- authored an economics textbook, Outside Readings in Economics. Upon departing the Wharton faculty, he ended a thirty year estrangement from his father, who founded his civil engineering firm in New Orleans in 1924 and was an officer in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the South Pacific during World War II. John was employed as Chief Estimator for two prominent New Orleans general contractors: Farnsworth and Chambers and Lionel F. Favret. During that time, a long delayed friendship between father and son endured until the elder Rice's death in 1965. At his retirement in 1991, he was the President of U.S. Development Corporation of Miami, Florida. He was previously a senior executive of the business interests of R.E. Dumas Milner and was a director of National Car Rental Systems. During his career he directed the development of commercial building projects in seven states, including the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans, and at Treasure Cay, the Bahamas. His lifelong association with the Democratic Party was largely a result of his own life experience. Employment by the W.P.A. during the 1930's rescued his household from economic calamity and without the G.I. Bill following WW II, a college education would have been beyond his grasp. Those two major occurrences convinced him that government had the potential for exacting good. John loved debate but abhorred invective. After his retirement to Mandeville in 1991, he took great pleasure in engaging his many conservative friends in friendly jousts on politics and economics. He often lamented that such mutual respect had gone missing among political professionals. From his days as an adolescent caddy, he remained fascinated by the game of golf both as a participant and a spectator. Although long hours of instruction, practice, and study proved largely fruitless for his own game, his quest for improvement continued well into his eightieth decade. In 2004 he launched a website, American Crisis, named in deference to his favorite Founding Father, Thomas Paine. Blogging under the name Irish Mohawk, he commented extensively on politics and economics. Until his recent failing health, he was attempting to complete an econometric model that would supplant the income and payroll tax with a bank debit tax. His greatest bequeath to his children is an empathy and respect for the economically downtrodden that he never abandoned. His beloved wife, the former Marguerite Nearing of Allentown Pa. died in 1992. He is survived by five children: J. Timothy Rice of Folsom, La., Kathleen Glaser of Mandeville, La., Nancy Chislak and Carol Pietz of Needham, Mass., and Brian Rice of Weston Florida. He is also survived by fourteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren as well as his canine companion, Sadie. His sister, Georgia MacDougal, of Atlanta, Ga. also survives him. The family wishes to thank his caregivers as well as Hospice of St. Tammany, St. Tammany Parish Hospital, and Ochsner Health System for their compassionate treatment and care.

She is survived by her husband, Dan, of New Orleans and her daughter, Shaela Dejean Parrott of San Diego. Preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Ella Del Favero, Marietta also leaves two brothers, Tony (Cyndi) of Castro Valley, CA, and Albie (Sara) of Nashville, TN. She also leaves four stepdaughters; Dana Smetherman, Collin Ginsberg and Ashley Lemmler of New Orleans and Lauren Lacerda of Cincinnati; six step-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved. Marietta was born and raised in Nashville but New Orleans held a special place in her heart. She was a float lieutenant for the Ponchartrain Carnival Club and a 1969 graduate of Sophie Newcombe College, where she was president of Chi Omega. Marietta spent much of her life in California, where she worked in research and planning at UC-San Diego and UC-Irvine. After spending over 20 years in education administration, she moved home to Nashville and earned her Ph.D in Education from Vanderbilt in 2001. She began her new career as an educator as an associate professor of education at LSU. In 2005 she returned to New Orleans where she met her beloved husband and was an Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership at UNO. Marietta also held an MBA from San Diego State University. Marietta was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a teacher, and a leader...but most of all she was a cherished friend to so many. From her grammar and high school friends in Nashville to her friends at Newcombe to those she met along the way in California, at Vanderbilt, in Baton Rouge, and at home in the French Quarter, she never met a stranger or forgot a name.

Joe was a native of New Orleans and graduated from Warren Easton High School in 1943. He was a veteran of WWII, serving in the US Navy as a Gunners Mate. He served in the Amphibious Force in the Southwest Pacific aboard an LST and several LCT's which ultimately resulted in his capture by the Japanese and his interment as a prisoner of war as slave labor on the Burma-Siam Railroad. He was awarded the Navy Cross, two Purple hearts, and numerous campaign medals for his service to his country. He attended Tulane University's School of Engineering where he received his BSCE. Upon graduation he went to work for the construction firm of R.P. Farnsworth and later the engineering and construction company J.A. Jones. In 1971, he was appointed General Superintendent of the Sewage and Water Board of New Orleans by then Mayor Moon Landrieu. At the S&WB he applied his talents developing many improvements to the pumping stations and drainage system. He retired in 2008.

Joe loved New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, and the Sewerage and Water Board. Joe was a loving father and grandfather. He was always optimistic and looked for the good in every situation.

As a professional pilot, "Trap" planned his most important flight down to every detail. First, he called a loving prayer service with his 8 grandchildren and the rest of the family last Friday evening. While briefly out of pain and with good humor, Papa Trap shared big hugs and loving words to remember. After a week, Dad, "Captain Trap", was cleared for take-off for the best flight of his life. His loving family has been blessed with time to thank and express their love to their Dad before his passing. In some of those moments "Captain Trap" described the turbulence and blinded vision of flying in the clouds. He explained this confusion is experienced for only a short time. Once through, he expressed the beauty of "busting through the clouds" to a sunny, bright, blue sky with those glorious white clouds now below. Finally, he shared this vision, and his family believes this was the beginning of his journey to Heaven and a testament to his strong Catholic Faith. Anthony "Trap" was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony Sr. and Anna S. Trapani, his brother, Frank A. Trapani, and his loving wife of 43 years, Carol Carver Trapani. He is survived by his three sons, Anthony "Tony" (Jolynne), Christopher "Chris" (Becky) and Cary (Casey) and 8 grandchildren, Grace, Joseph, Christopher, Jenna, Carol Ann, William, Andrew and Maddie. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 23, 1930 and soon moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. During his high school years at Saint Stanislaus College, Capt. Trap began to formally develop his aviation career, earning his Private Pilot License the day he turned 16 years of age. Upon graduating from St. Stanislaus in 1949, he attended Delgado Community College until he joined the Air National Guard. He always bragged that he never worked a day in his life, but in 1955 he began his employment at Freeport McMoran Mineral Company (formerly Freeport Sulfur Company) piloting the Grumman Mallard, the other love of his life. Trap retired as Chief Pilot of the Aviation Department in 1990. Other notable personal achievements include earning all levels of aviation ratings and certifications, volunteering for the Civil Air Patrol, serving on the Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission, and assisting as FAA Safety Counselor. Trap shared his passion for aviation by co-founding an aviation training program for young students at St. Stanislaus. Additionally, Trap served as a Key-man in the Secret Order of Quiet Birdmen fraternity (MSY Hanger). As a dedicated member of the Bay-Waveland Yacht Club for over 40 years, he served as a member of the Board of Governors, Communications Chairman, Commodore in 1993, and in 1995 he was awarded an Honorary Life Membership. In service to God, he was a member of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church and Eucharistic Minister at the Saint Augustine Seminary.

As a professional pilot, "Trap" planned his most important flight down to every detail. First, he called a loving prayer service with his 8 grandchildren and the rest of the family last Friday evening. While briefly out of pain and with good humor, Papa Trap shared big hugs and loving words to remember. After a week, Dad, "Captain Trap", was cleared for take-off for the best flight of his life. His loving family has been blessed with time to thank and express their love to their Dad before his passing. In some of those moments "Captain Trap" described the turbulence and blinded vision of flying in the clouds. He explained this confusion is experienced for only a short time. Once through, he expressed the beauty of "busting through the clouds" to a sunny, bright, blue sky with those glorious white clouds now below. Finally, he shared this vision, and his family believes this was the beginning of his journey to Heaven and a testament to his strong Catholic Faith.

She was 80. Dorothy was a native of New Orleans, LA, where she lived most of her life, and a resident of Houston since 1995. The oldest of three siblings, she was the daughter of Mary Ida Little Maness and Robert William Maness and granddaughter of Matthew Stonewall Little and Ida May Cotton. Dorothy was an exceptional student and proud alumna of Eleanor McMain School, Newcomb College (BA 1951 with honors), Tulane University (MA 1953) and Tulane Law School (JD 1980). At Newcomb she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa honor society and Alpha Delta Pi sorority. After completing her graduate work in Spanish and Portuguese, Dorothy taught Spanish language and culture as well as English as a Second Language for many years. In 1957 she was selected to teach in a new educational television series launched by public station WYES. As her daughter and son grew up, Dorothy retired from teaching but was active in many organizations, including the Women's Auxiliary of the Louisiana Engineering Society which she served as president in 1977-78. She entered law school that same year and embarked on a second career as a lawyer, joining a long line of attorneys in her family dating back to the early 19th century. She worked as a public defender in Jefferson Parish and in private practice on a fascinating array of civil and criminal matters, and also served on occasion as a court interpreter. In 1982 Dorothy was appointed by Gov. David Treen as an honorary Colonel on the Governor's staff. At all times she was an enthusiastic and beloved volunteer at her children's schools (St Andrew's Episcopal School, Ursuline Academy and Isidore Newman School), serving in myriad roles including room mother, substitute teacher and debate judge. After retirement, Dorothy and her husband George followed their children to Houston, where Dorothy quickly made herself active in the Houston Alpha Delta Pi Alumnae Chapter, the Woodside Civic Club, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, the Women's Institute of Houston, a cancer survivors group, a lady lawyers luncheon group, and especially in the lives of her children and grandchildren, who were the lights of her life. Dorothy had a passion for writing and for sharing her stories with her family. She joined and later taught a creative writing course at Life Enrichment of Houston (LEOH), which she enjoyed immensely. She also developed a keen interest in family history and genealogy, which she pursued through research in libraries, courthouses, cemeteries and family history organizations across the U.S. and in Scotland. As a gift to her descendants, she compiled her research in detailed notes and colorful biographical stories on ancestors from every branch of the family tree. Dorothy took a special delight in her Scottish heritage as a member of Clan Little, and is responsible for introducing to her family the Little tartan and other Scottish customs which the family now proudly carries on. An inveterate traveler from her earliest days, Dorothy traveled extensively in Latin America, Europe and throughout the U.S. Her trips produced many exciting stories, but one stands out above all: she was in Havana, Cuba on New Year's Day 1959, where she became an eyewitness to the Cuban Revolution. Throughout her life Dorothy had a great love of Creole cooking and more generally of hospitality, in which she embraced family, friends and even friends-of-friends with unbounded warmth and without hesitation. One of her first initiatives upon moving to Houston was to organize a Christmas reunion of the extended Webb family - a tradition that continues to this day and that will always be Dorothy's party. Dorothy was a two-time survivor of cancer. She was predeceased by her first husband, William Moore Jones, and an infant son, William Jones. She is survived by her husband George Walton Webb; her daughter Ann Elizabeth Webb and granddaughter Elizabeth Grace Crist; her son George Walton Webb III and his wife Susannah Koontz Webb; her brothers Robert and James Maness and their wives Malise and Phyllis Maness; and more beloved godchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins than can be counted. A Memorial Service celebrating Dorothy's life will be held Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 3:00 PM at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 3816 Bellaire Blvd. (at Stella Link), Houston TX 77025. A choral prelude will precede the service starting at about 2:45 PM. Dorothy will be interred the previous day at 10:30 AM at Houston National Cemetery; a piper and drummer will play at the burial service.

She was 80. She will be missed by all that knew her. Mom, "Granny" to most, did not know a stranger. She dearly loved and cared for other people. She had a habit of making people smile, always carrying an infectious upbeat attitude. Whether you are an airline pilot on Southwest1722 or a concierge at the Hilton, she probably brought you candy or donuts a time or two. As she would say, she got her "high" from making people happy. She was married to Johnnie Dempsey raising two sons Jay and Jan. When Johnnie passed at 32 she collected us up and headed to California, full speed ahead, the way she did everything. She later married Henry Weidell and was with him until he passed. Since, she moved around a bit making Friends in Baton Rouge, Biloxi and especially Fayette Alabama and the wonderful people there. She loved Family and really loved her incredible and special Friends Jan and John. Those are Saints, Jan and John, and not just to Mom. She was the embodiment of New Orleans, the city and people being part of her soul. She loved to dance and she loved a nice bright yellow sweater with matching bright yellow pants. She was stubborn as a mule and tough as a 500 pound gorilla. She loved our Armed Forces, but first and foremost she was a Marine Wife and Mom with both husbands and sons, Marines. She loved the Marine Corps and Marines, helping young Marines as a volunteer in the Navy Relief Society and serving meals and cookies to those going to Viet Nam. She already had two wakes before she died so "she could enjoy them", a little nuts, but that's our Mom. She left her body to the LSU Medical Center and that is done as she wanted it. Please, a Christmas offering to help our wounded veterans at http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org would touch our hearts. Jeanne is survived by her sons, Jay's wife Sheila, granddaughters Melissa and Sandie and great-grandchildren Alec and Avery. The world has lost a special person and Heaven has gained a new Angel. Love you Mom, your sons Jay and Jan. 12/21/2011 Times Picayune **************************************** 002322 WEIDELL Jeanne Perrien Dempsey Weidell passed away peacefully Tuesday, December 20 2011 at 0741.
