A well-known obstetrician /gynecologist who served the New Orleans community in private practice for 35 years, Cathy healed countless women and delivered thousands of babies. She was 69. The cause was complications from a stroke. Cathy was born on May 6th, 1943, in Cincinnati and grew up in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, where she graduated third in her class at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School. She graduated from Bucknell University and studied at The University of Edinburgh in Scotland, which always held a special place in her heart. Cathy received her medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed her internship and residency at The University of Chicago's Lying-in Hospital. After these years, Cathy said that she would never live in a cold climate again, a decision that led in part to her settling in balmy New Orleans. Cathy also served as a U.S. Navy medical officer at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, before joining The Women's Medical Centers in 1975. Additionally, she helped oversee medical aspects of Planned Parenthood of Louisiana for several years. An active member of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans, Cathy was married to long-time minister and civil rights leader Rev. Albert D'Orlando until his death in 1998. At the church, Cathy was a passionate choir member for many years and had served as President of the Board of Trustees. Some of her other civic and charitable involvement included the ACLU and growing her hair for Locks of Love. Beloved for her warm sense of humor, thoughtful conversation, good nature, wisdom, sense of conviction, generosity, and many other wonderful qualities, Cathy had diverse interests. An avid reader, Cathy enjoyed everything from literary fiction to People Magazine. Her love of classical music was matched only by her dedication to various TV sitcoms. Long uninterested in professional sports, Cathy developed a passion for the Saints and an impressive amount of football expertise after she turned 60. She adored her many pet dachshunds, as well as her cats, over her lifetime. A faithful correspondent with a penchant for traveling, Cathy maintained life-long friendships around the country and world. Cathy is survived by her loving relatives, brother Peter Tullsen (Nancy), niece Barbara Hill (Dan), nephew John Tullsen (Evan Siegel), grandnephew Wesley Hill, and grandniece Alaina Hill. She also will be greatly missed by her companion Nick Napolitano. In addition, she leaves behind many dear friends and former patients.

Throughout her life she loved travel and learning, instilling these same loves in her children. She was always planning her next trip. A believer in higher education, she took pride in knowing her children and grandchildren all completed college. But she also knew that learning didn't end there. If you went on a trip with her, you were going to see or do something educational. One of her greatest attributes was her "can do" spirit. She was a leader, fearless and willing to try anything. Lead a Scout troop. Fix a leaking faucet or clean out a gutter. Teach you how to swim, roller skate and ride a bike. Reign as the first Mustard Green Queen. Another was her willingness to help anyone in need. Behind what some saw as a stern exterior lay a tender heart. She was the one whose practical advice people sought. Need a recipe? She had it. Altering a garment? She could do it. Directions some place? She knew all the routes. Rowena was born on November 7, 1929 to Chester W. and Zoemie Harris O'Quin in Alexandria, Louisiana. Since 1955 she has resided in River Ridge where she led an active life, filled with a variety of interests. For over 50 years she was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and the Little Farms VFC Club. More recently, she joined the Little Farms Golden Agers. She bowled every Thursday morning in a league at the Colonial Lanes in Harahan. Rowena goes to join the love of her life, her husband, Zeland M. "Junior" DeLoach. She leaves behind her children: Z. David and Sharon DeLoach of St. Francisville, Elaine and Steve Graalmann of Alexandria, and Frances and Tony DiFranco of Metairie; her grandchildren: Zeland, Trenton, Elissa and Eric; two sisters: Beverly O'Quin of Alexandria and Frances Anderson of Pineville; three sisters-in-law: Jewel Hotard, Hazel DeLoach and Mary Jo O'Quin; and her life-long friends: Billie Alice Ryland, Lou Mouton, Anne Rosenberger, Jackie Myrick and Trudy Aucoin.

Fuoco "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss I feel very privileged to have been able to know, love and be related to one of the greatest individuals this world has ever known. Constance J. Fuoco was born on March 19, 1945 in New York. She would later move to New Orleans with her son John. She was truly the most unique person I have ever met. Constance's laugh was infectious and could bring anybody out of a bad mood. She had her own opinions and views about the world but was also welcoming of different beliefs. Constance had so many friends around the world. Her love was genuine and real. You always got a straight and truthful answer even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. She could make anybody feel welcome in her home. Constance's house was your house and you always felt at home in her presence. On December 23, 2012 a great light went out in the world and even though I feel deep sadness about her passing I also feel happiness because I, like everyone else who knew her, got the chance to be loved by one of the purest loves on the planet. Her ashes will be laid to rest along with her brother, Charles, Saturday March 9, 2013 at The Garden of Memories. She is survived by her son John Fuoco, beloved Grandson Ghage Fuoco and her "Man" Dominic Rera. Also a multitude of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Dear Friends and a Niece and Nephew.

The Gulf Coast has lost one its great entrepreneurs, and a unique and cherished community leader. Robert was dearly loved and affected the lives of so many of us as he taught us to chase our dreams and believe in ourselves. Gagné was a successful businessman in California and the founder of Maxdem, Inc., a technology company in San Dimas, California. He came to the Gulf Coast in 2000 and was active in the Southern Mississippi business community as CEO and Chairman of the Board at Mississippi Polymer Technologies, Inc. (MPT). He took MPT on a memorable ride as it went from a startup to a successful high-tech company with over 50 employees. He went on to found and serve as Chairman of the Board at MAC, LLC, a current leader in the development and commercialization of lightweight, polymer-based solutions for military and aerospace markets. MAC is active today and located in Port Bienville Industrial Park near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Gagné quietly supported numerous business ventures and consulted with friends and business associates on a regular basis, always looking for solutions and creative ways to move projects, businesses, and the individuals involved - forward. Robert Gagné's most recent startup company, NOLA Bodycare, a skin care manufacturer, was one he was deeply involved with from developing the fragrances, to designing the logo and packaging of the products. He worked very closely with his team in New Orleans and was a dear friend to each of them. NOLA Bodycare was in a very early stage of development at the time of his passing. He was much more than an investor, but a key figure in perfecting each product and pushing the company towards its full potential. Robert requested that there not be a memorial service commemorating his death but asked that his friends and family celebrate his life and continue his legacy of helping others.

Jeanne's life began in the very small town of Henegar, Alabama, located on top of Sand Mountain, about 50 miles from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Born to Allie Mae Chester Wade and Marvin Clinton Chester, Jeanne completed her education in Henegar, but she yearned for more opportunities than mill work and the few jobs that the area offered. She had several jobs in Chattanooga and Pensacola before accepting a position as a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines and following training in Miami, Florida, she was stationed in New York City during much of her career. It was a glamorous job for a glamorous young woman and she caught the eye of many men, one of whom was Elvis Presley. She enjoyed being on the arm of the young, handsome singer. Jeanne found her way to New Orleans and there she met and married Arnold Jones (deceased) and with whom she had a son and her only child, Stephen Dale Jones. During their marriage and afterwards, she worked mostly in administrative positions, including a secretarial position at the Clarion Herald, the weekly Catholic newspaper for Archdiocese of New Orleans. Arnold was an accomplished golfer and he and Jeanne, who became a good player, enjoyed golfing at the old Colonial Country Club. In 1969, Jeanne married sports writer, TV and radio personality, Buddy Diliberto (deceased). With Buddy, she traveled the country at numerous sporting events, including many Super Bowls, complete with all the glitzy parties that precede these venues. Together they owned Buddy D's lounge in Metairie. She was also the wife of the late Dave Harris. Dave and Jeanne owned and operated several lounges, Critic's Choice, the Chalet, and The Max, to name but three, all of which were also in the Metairie area and each attracted a faithful following. People were drawn to Jeanne, who had by this time had acquired a great deal of polish and sophistication since the days of Henegar, but she never forgot that small town upbringing and the early, harder times. Jeanne had a keen head for figures and the management skills necessary to own and operate multiple businesses simultaneously, but found time to enjoy "the good life she had earned," including all the fun activities with the women in her Red Hat Club. By the birth of her beloved grandson, Jonathan Jones, she decided to retire and do what all grandmothers do: dote on their grandchildren. Jeanne was no exception and seldom missed any of his baseball games where he excelled as a second baseman. His talent and that of his team took him to Cooperstown, New York, where he played in the 12-Year Old World Series last summer. An eighth grade student at St. Martin's Episcopal School, Jeanne was looking forward to Jonathan's Boy Scout Court of Honor later this month where he will be recognized as having attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Jeanne is survived by her son Stephen, his wife Christine Long Jones, grandson Jonathan and sisters Helen June Chester of Metairie and Paulette Chester Hicks of Henegar and several cousins. While not officially adopted, she considered Buddy's daughter, Debbie Diliberto Emerman (Alan) to be the daughter she never had and always introduced her as such. Jeanne Harris was a beautiful, stunning woman but her beauty was not just skin deep. She was a kind and gentle soul who loved her family and friends. While we mourn, her life will be celebrated and relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Boulevard on Friday, March 8, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Friends may visit after 12 Noon.

Phil worked his way up from a student pilot, to instructor, then to charter pilot on Lear Jets until he was hired by a major airline. He progressed to become a full captain on jumbo jets, flying around the world for United Airlines. Phil lived in Dallas, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Santa Barbara and Murphys, California. He was a devoted father to his children and spent many hours on the ball field as a Little League coach.

Phil even organized and flew the "Free Sean Payton" plane last summer and fall. Phil authored three books that he self-published, and he definitely was not afraid to tackle extremely controversial subjects.

She managed this illness in the same way she lived her life: on her own terms. Leslie was born on February 16, 1950, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to her parents Grenes M. Meisner and Shirley Harrison Meisner Hyde. She is survived by her mother, her sister Lyle Meisner Williams, her brother Peter Meisner, nieces Rachael Eads, Sarah Eads, Melanie Meisner, Olivia Meisner, and Madeline Meisner, and her companion Michael Symons. Leslie attended Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans, graduating in 1968. After sailing through the Florida Keys, the Caribbean, and other exotic ports, Leslie entered the University of Florida in Gainesville, from which she received a Bachelor of Science degree. She then graduated from the Louisiana State University School of Nursing and thereafter practiced her profession in New Orleans before coming to live in San Jose, California, where she felt so much at ease and found a spiritual home. Leslie's San Jose home became "New Orleans West," displaying beautiful Jazz Fest posters and other Louisiana art, including her own sculpture, that offered everyone a unique and warm welcome. Through Leslie's practice in neonatal nursing at Good Samaritan and O'Connor Hospitals, her teaching nursing courses at DeVry Institute, and her patient counseling at Kaiser Hospital, she cultivated countless close friends. She was known for her advocacy of patient's rights and employed her professional skill to educate patients about their medical care. Leslie was a devoted animal owner and protector, always taking care to support the health and happiness of her beloved dogs, cats, and birds. Various charitable causes also benefitted from Leslie's and Michael's benevolent contribution, including Tapestry, Campbell Museum Board of Directors, and Campbell Summer Concerts in the Park. Leslie decided to have a big, joyous party on the occasion of her 63rd birthday a few days before her death, and she welcomed long streams of family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and well-wishers to her home throughout the unusually beautiful, warm Sunday afternoon -- as sunny as she herself always was. She will be missed by everyone who knew her or who benefitted from her healing and guiding touch. But she will live on in our memories and in the many children she helped come into this world.

Let's pop a cork to celebrate the life and legacy of Sterling "Joe" Ory, an ambassador to the city of New Orleans which he passionately adored. From humble beginnings, Joe helped to shape the face of New Orleans as a master carpenter and achieved incredible success in the real estate industry as 2010 NOMAR President and Louisiana Real Estate Commissioner. A life-long poet and philosopher, Joe was an eternal student and a willing teacher to all who hoped to share in his wisdom. His personality was as effervescent as the champagne which he enjoyed for any and every occasion. Affectionately deemed the 'mayor' of Audubon Park by his peers, Joe spent every morning beneath the canopy of oaks jogging and engaging in conversation with friends. Though New Orleans was always his home, Joe's thirst for adventure led him to travel the world, including trips to the Champagne region of France and his annual pilgrimage to Napa valley with 'the Gang'. Joe always prided in his greatest creation--his beloved daughter Kelle-- whom he called 'his heart'. He will be remembered forever by Kelle; his wife, Nancy, along with the extended Masakowski family; his brother Charles and sister-in-law Teri; his extensive group of friends and colleagues; and the entire New Orleans community, all whom have shown overwhelming support and generosity throughout these difficult times. To share in a celebration of Joe's life, all are welcome to Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Boulevard, on Thursday, March 28, 2013, for a Memorial Visitation beginning at 6 pm, followed by a Memorial Service at 7 pm.

Over 30 family members and friends surrounded his hospital bed with love, prayers, music, and stories of the life shared with him. He is preceded in death and met with open arms in heaven by his grandfathers, John Perrone, Sr., William Hall, Jr. and Joseph Curcuru. Also met by his dear friend Van Rogers. He is survived by his loving parents John and Debbie Perrone, siblings and their spouses - Dr. Andrea Perrone Toomer (Brian), Dayna Perrone Dyle (Chad), John Perrone, III (Yvonne), and his loving twin brother Rusty Perrone (Cristy), his godchildren, Patrick Toomer, Daphne Dyle, Julien Perrone and other nieces and nephews, Collin Dyle, Lucy and Laura Toomer, Amelia Perrone and Brendan Dyle. His loss is mourned by both of his grandmothers, Mrs. Felicia Perrone and Mrs. Grace Serio Hall, and by aunts and uncles Jane and Bill Hall, Diane and Harold Baur, Sandra and Ralph Junius and numerous cousins and friends. Randy would have been married this November to his soul mate and love of his life - Logan Powers Shaw, daughter of Laurice Shaw and John Shaw, and sister of Kara Shaw Hennessey (Olly). Randy's love for all things innocent was evidenced in his giving nature. When he saw a dog that had been hit by a car, Randy went to protect the dog from other vehicles and cried with sorrow after he moved him from the road. When with his brother one blustery rainy day, they saw an elderly person at a bus stop and gave him their umbrella. Even in his last days on earth, Randy befriended another patient at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and told her to come "hang out" with him since she was young and there were not too many young people around the hospital. Randy was always making friends and talked to anyone and offered assistance and help to anyone he saw that needed it. He never had an unkind word to say about anybody. He was so genuinely loving and sweet. Randy was a partner in the family business, but his passion was writing music, lyrics, playing his guitar, piano, mandolin, harmonica, saxophone and singing. His band Zama Para had just released a CD in January of this year.

He was 91. A landman in the oil industry who retired in 1984, Andre finished his career as Senior Vice President of Freeport-McMoRan, the Fortune 500 company. He was the first landman ever hired by McMoRan Oil & Gas. Before joining the company in 1969, he worked for Humble Oil & Refining Company, British American Oil Company, and Forest Oil Corporation. The youngest of three brothers in a French-speaking household, Andre was born on March 15, 1922. He was a seventh-generation New Orleanian. He grew up on Esplanade Avenue near the Fairgrounds, as well as Uptown on State Street. He attended Holy Rosary for elementary school and St. Aloysius for high school. When World War II came, Andre was pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Tulane University. Tulane awarded diplomas early so that he and his classmates could enlist. He joined the U.S. Army and became a cryptographer, serving in England, France, and Belgium. After the war, while waiting for a ship back to the U.S., he studied in Nancy, France, and at the Sorbonne in Paris. Then he used the G.I. Bill of Rights to go to Tulane Law School, where he graduated in 1949. Andre was the quintessential New Orleans Creole gentleman. His family will remember him for his intelligence, generosity, and witty sense of humor. He is survived by his wife of almost eight years, Nancy Gooch Wogan; by a son and his wife, Gordon and Elizabeth Wogan of New Orleans; and by four grandchildren, all of New Orleans: Hicks, Graham, Ford, and Mary Margaret.
