He was born at Crowley, La., July 17, 1936. After graduating from Church Point High School, he earned B.A. and B.L.S. degrees at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette (then Southwestern Louisiana University). He taught in public schools at Berwick, La., Triumph, La., and Buras, La. He was librarian and taught English at St. Joseph's School in Jeanerette, La. and later at Redeemer in New Orleans. At St. Joseph's, he helped to pioneer a curriculum at St. Joseph's that made the library the center of learning for students. Later he introduced that program at Redeemer. David's greatest reward as a teacher lay in observing that eureka moment when a student first awakens to the possibility that learning can be a joyful adventure. As a librarian he enjoyed serving on the Board of the Catholic Book Store in N.O. He was a member of Grace Episcopal Church for many years, serving on its Vestry, and three years as Senior Warden. He worked very hard in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to help keep the parish alive and to secure aid in restoring damage done to its structure and its magnificent artwork. David enjoyed classical music, theater and opera. He learned the Cajun two-step later in life and was really good at it. He loved to cook for his friends and took delight in working with his fellow parishioners at Grace and later at St. Andrew's to prepare food for the poor and hungry. His early Christian training in a Baptist household where daily Bible reading and prayer formed part of the rhythm of the day was a rich gift, a gift that he found enhanced as he followed Episcopal liturgy through the rhythms of the church year. He loved the language of the Book of the Book of Common Prayer. Above all, David took seriously the message of God's love for everyone as revealed in the Incarnation, and his engrained sense of justice led him to battle against efforts to limit the significance of that message. As a teacher in Plaquemines Parish, he fought to keep the public schools open to all people during the battles against desegregation led by Leander Perez. David was predeceased by his parents Thomas T. Atteberry and Edith Grotefend Atteberry. He is survived by his daughter, Eleanor Stringer of Mill Valley, CA, his grandson Brenan Lael Stringer and granddaughter Rhiannon. His surviving brothers and sisters are Robert Taylor Atteberry of Lawtey, Fla., John Bell Atteberry of Worcester, Mass., Thomas Tilden Atteberry, Jr. of Milton, Fla., Mrs. Martha Oge of Winslow, Ark., Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Langley of Lafayette, La., and Mrs. Frances Rutherford of Woodstock, Ga. He also was Uncle and Great-Uncle to a goodly number of nephews and nieces as well as to several grand-nieces and grand-nephews. A Funeral Service will be held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 101 South Carrol-lton Ave., New Orleans, La. 70118, on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. A musical tribute will begin at 12:45 p.m. Interment will take place at a later date.

Beaudette "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37, 39. Norah, someone who lived these words of Jesus her entire life, passed peacefully into His arms surrounded by her loving family on Monday, January 16, 2012 at her beloved Touro Infirmary in New Orleans, where she began her nursing career in 1973. She was 80 years old, a retired Registered Nurse, and a resident of New Orleans since 1993. She was born in Montreal, Quebec, the only child of the former Sarah Theresa O'Callaghan and George Clark, on December 19, 1931. She graduated from the Montreal General School of Nursing in 1954 and married Guy Beaudette on September 14, 1957. They had three children: Linda (now Oalmann), Diane (now Allison), and Rhonda. Guy, Norah and their three girls lived in Ghana, Africa from 1967 until 1971 while he worked with Kaiser Aluminum, then came to New Orleans. After their divorce in 1971 Norah resumed her nursing career, first at Touro Infirmary, then with Doctors Dyer, King, and Hoffman, then at Methodist Hospital. She moved to Denver, Colorado in 1980, where she was a nurse at St. John Hospice until 1991. She returned to New Orleans and was a hospice nurse with Hotel Dieu until she retired in 1993. Norah had been active with Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon since 1971, sponsoring many over 40 years of sobriety. During the course of her 20+ years of nursing her passion was to lovingly care for her patients and, in her hospice work, help the patient and family face death with dignity, love and compassion. Our Lord granted her the same mercy when He called her home to Him. A member of St. Louis Cathedral, she was an avid bridge player, enjoyed traveling, loved her family, and was a great friend to many people. In addition to her three daughters, she is survived by her son-in-law, Harry Oalmann, grandchildren: Christina and Daniel Oalmann; son-in-law Bill Allison; grandchildren: Joshua and Timothy Allison; granddaughter-in-law, Nicole Allison (formerly Bergeron), great-granddaughter, Liberty Allison; former son-in-law, Andrew Lubow and granddaughter, Sarah Lubow; and former sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and other relatives in Canada. A giving person throughout her life and beyond, she donated her body to LSU Medical School. A Memorial Service will be conducted on Saturday, February 11, 2012 by Reverend Monsignor Crosby W. Kern beginning at 10:00 AM in Holy Redeemer Chapel at Christopher Inn, 2110 Royal Street (corner of Elysian Fields Avenue) in New Orleans.

Known to her peers as "Irma D" and to everyone else as "Grandmother," she was preceded in death by her parents, Irma Josephine Lubeigt and Louis Otto Weisdorffer, two of her brothers, Louis Weisdorffer and Oliver Weisdorffer, her husband, Dr. John M. Bruce, and her eldest daughter, Elizabeth "Betty" Bruce Voelker. She leaves one brother Ronald Weisdorffer, four children and their spouses (David and Melba Bruce, Gregory and Denise Bruce, Margaret and Lynden Camin and Melody Ann 'Mimi' Bruce and David Ray), ten grandchildren (Yvette Voelker, Nelson 'Chip' Voelker, Erin Bruce Saucier, John David Bruce, Gregory 'Trooper' Bruce, Michael Bruce, Robert Bruce, Isaac Ray, Margaret Ray and Arielle Ray) and 4 great-grandchildren (Kristen, Jack, Emilie and Luke) to grieve her loss and miss her stories of growing up in New Orleans nearly 100 years ago. She graduated from John McDonough High School and Margaret C. Henson Normal School. Grandmother taught school at Live Oak and Andrew Jackson Elementary School while attending Loyola University. Later, she owned and ran "Bruce's Mints". She and Dr. Bruce maintained an extended family relationship with a group of friends from the Loyola drama department, who called themselves "The Dramanians". Grandmother was a favorite 'aunt' to the children and grandchildren of that group. After her children left the nest, Grandmother became heavily involved in many diverse organizations. She was President and long time Board member of the Les Enfants de la France, and on the Board of Govern for the Caledonian Society. She also founded and was President of Bon Temps at St. Francis Xavier Church in Metairie, where she tabulated the collections for many years. She moved to Mid-City in 2001, where she became a devoted parishioner of Holy Rosary Church as well as an honorary watch dog of her new neighborhood. She was even noticed by The Times-Picayune for her good-natured mothering of strangers passing on their way to Jazz Fest. "Hey, cher, are you wearing sunscreen?" she'd wonder and then remind them, "Don't get lost now!" But, mainly, Grandmother was a devout Catholic, proud mother and grandmother who loved gardening, playing cards, prayer, a good book and her family. She lived a long, healthy and happy life and spent her last moments in her favorite reading chair.

Born on December 21, 1920 in Mineral Wells, Texas, he was the only child of Dr. Albert Bruce Crutcher, Sr. and Mary Lee Hudson Crutcher of Dallas, Texas. Showing an early talent for drawing and painting, by his mid-teens, he was producing gallery-quality portraits and working summers as a roustabout in the East Texas oil fields. Attended Highland Park high school in Dallas, where his prowess as a running back earned him the nickname, "Mountain Man Crutcher." In 1943 he left his art studies at Yale University to enlist in Naval Air Training for WWII. Upon earning his wings, he was assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps as a pilot in the South Pacific. In 1944 he flew 96 missions in nine months in a Dauntless SBD-5 dive bomber. Lieutenant Crutcher was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and 21 Air Medals for bravery. After the war, Crutcher returned to Yale where he graduated in 1946 with a BFA. In 1948 he returned home to Dallas to bury his father and made a life-changing decision: go to work in the oil business. With a letter of recommendation from the wildcatter H.L. Hunt, Crutcher was hired by Humble Oil & Refining, where he worked as a petroleum land man. In 1950, Humble transferred Crutcher to New Orleans, where he eventually started his own oil & gas leasing business. In 1960 he was joined by another former Humble land man, J.D. Tufts II, and they enjoyed 33 prosperous years as business partners. Known for their dynamic deal making, "JD" and "Crutch" built a successful oil and gas exploration and real estate business. On the home front in New Orleans he met and fell in love with Mary Lee Tullis Eaves in 1951. After months of dating Crutcher she finally accepted his proposal and the two enjoyed 54 wonderful years of marriage. In the1960s, Crutcher also took up competitive sailing at the Southern Yacht Club, racing Dragon-class boats both in the United States and internationally. In addition, he led a group of members to form the Olympic Sailing Association of the Southern Yacht Club in 1965, a syndicate that supported Buddy Friedrichs, Barton Jahnke and Click Schreck to aim for and eventually win a gold medal in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. For the remainder of his sporting life, his focus shifted to the game of golf. He and Mary Lee divided their time between New Orleans, Pebble Beach, Calif. and many golf-related destinations. A member of the Cypress Point Club, the New Orleans Country Club, the Bayou Club, the U.S. Seniors' Golf Association, the Petroleum Club, the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the Southern Yacht Club, the Avoca Duck Club and various carnival organizations. Pre-deceased by his wife of 54 years, Mary Lee Tullis Crutcher, and stepdaughter, Penelope Eaves Becker. Crutcher is survived by three children: Allison Crutcher McAshan (Kenny), Albert Bruce Crutcher III (Robin), and John Tullis Crutcher (Encarna) of Seattle, WA; two step daughters: Marilee Eaves James (Ed) of Seattle, WA and Priscilla Eaves Reiss (Jimmy); seven grandchildren: Shannon Collins, Charlotte Collins Meade, Samantha McAshan, Will McAshan, Hudson McAshan, Garner McAshan, and Ian Crutcher; nine step grandchildren: Anne Phyfe Palmer, Rebecca Snedeker, Jennifer Arnone, James Reiss III, Lady Reiss Fuller, Crutcher Reiss, Peter Becker, Christian Becker and Rudy Vrana; 1 great-grandchild, John Arthur Meade II; 16 step great-grand-children; and his black lab retriever, "Maggie."

Attended Highland Park high school in Dallas, where his prowess as a running back earned him the nickname, "Mountain Man Crutcher." In 1943 he left his art studies at Yale University to enlist in Naval Air Training for WWII. Upon earning his wings, he was assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps as a pilot in the South Pacific. In 1944 he flew 96 missions in nine months in a Dauntless SBD-5 dive bomber. Lieutenant Crutcher was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and 21 Air Medals for bravery. After the war, Crutcher returned to Yale where he graduated in 1946 with a BFA. In 1948 he returned home to Dallas to bury his father and made a life-changing decision: go to work in the oil business. With a letter of recommendation from the wildcatter H.L. Hunt, Crutcher was hired by Humble Oil & Refining, where he worked as a petroleum land man. In 1950, Humble transferred Crutcher to New Orleans, where he eventually started his own oil & gas leasing business. In 1960 he was joined by another former Humble land man, J.D. Tufts II, and they enjoyed 33 prosperous years as business partners. Known for their dynamic deal making, "JD" and "Crutch" built a successful oil and gas exploration and real estate business. On the home front in New Orleans he met and fell in love with Mary Lee Tullis Eaves in 1951. After months of dating Crutcher she finally accepted his proposal and the two enjoyed 54 wonderful years of marriage. In the1960s, Crutcher also took up competitive sailing at the Southern Yacht Club, racing Dragon-class boats both in the United States and internationally. In addition, he led a group of members to form the Olympic Sailing Association of the Southern Yacht Club in 1965, a syndicate that supported Buddy Friedrichs, Barton Jahnke and Click Schreck to aim for and eventually win a gold medal in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. For the remainder of his sporting life, his focus shifted to the game of golf. He and Mary Lee divided their time between New Orleans, Pebble Beach, Calif. and many golf-related destinations. A member of the Cypress Point Club, the New Orleans Country Club, the Bayou Club, the U.S. Seniors' Golf Association, the Petroleum Club, the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the Southern Yacht Club, the Avoca Duck Club and various carnival organizations. Pre-deceased by his wife of 54 years, Mary Lee Tullis Crutcher, and stepdaughter, Penelope Eaves Becker. Crutcher is survived by three children: Allison Crutcher McAshan (Kenny), Albert Bruce Crutcher III (Robin), and John Tullis Crutcher (Encarna) of Seattle, WA; two step daughters: Marilee Eaves James (Ed) of Seattle, WA and Priscilla Eaves Reiss (Jimmy); seven grandchildren: Shannon Collins, Charlotte Collins Meade, Samantha McAshan, Will McAshan, Hudson McAshan, Garner McAshan, and Ian Crutcher; nine step grandchildren: Anne Phyfe Palmer, Rebecca Snedeker, Jennifer Arnone, James Reiss III, Lady Reiss Fuller, Crutcher Reiss, Peter Becker, Christian Becker and Rudy Vrana; 1 great-grandchild, John Arthur Meade II; 16 step great-grand-children; and his black lab retriever, "Maggie."

Druhan, Sr., of New Orleans, and his sister, Mary Ellen Druhan Hardy of Kearsarge, New Hampshire. As a young man, Tom was a Navigator in the Army Air Force. He then attended Tulane University, and was graduated in 1950 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. While a student, Tom was active in the Newman Club (now know as the Tulane Catholic Center) and served as National Vice President for that organization. After graduation he worked with Cabirac Plumbing for a short time, but quickly settled into what was to become his lifetime career with IBM as a Systems Engineer. Tom retired from IBM in 1990 after almost 40 years. Many, many friends and family will hold Tom's memory close in their hearts, including his two sisters (Elizabeth Lucie Druhan of Kenner, LA, and Dorothy Druhan Griffing of Sequim, WA).

Tom was a loving husband and a proud father; from building train layouts to coaching Little League to serving as President of the "Band Boosters" parents club at De La Salle, he was an involved, supportive parent. He loved to travel, and the family spent many wonderful summers in upstate New York while he furthered his training with IBM. Tom was always happy to be behind the wheel of his motor home, and eventually could proudly proclaim that he had been in all fifty states!

Her father, Willard Burt, preceded her in death. Interment will be at Zion Lutheran Church on Franklin Lake cemetery, rural Pelican Rapids, MN, near her summer home on beloved Pelican Lake. She visited Pelican Lake in 63 of her 66 years. A celebratory memorial service will be held at Zion Lutheran Church next summer. Bonnie was a dedicated and loving wife and mother, an outstanding educator, and an excellent and skilled textile and fiber arts artisan. She enjoyed quilting, sewing, knitting, cross stitching, embroidery, dyeing, crocheting, needlepoint, latch hooking, smocking, tailoring, beading/rhinestoning and embellishing costumes and gowns and sharing her skills with others. She enjoyed traveling and visited Canada, Mexico, many of the Philippine Islands, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Japan, New Zealand (several times), Indonesia, Komodo, Vanautu, Fiji, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Hawaii, England, Italy, Greece and Sicily. Although certainly appreciated and enjoyed, flowers quickly wilt away; a contribution to the ALS Association, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church or Zion Lutheran Church in her memory would facilitate the sharing of 'blooms' in the future. Bonnie requested that everyone consider becoming a friend of PALS (Person with ALS) and wear a red ALS wristband in honor of her. The family has them available.
