She was a long-time resident of New Orleans, moving here from Pensacola, Florida in the 1950s to learn the art of nursing. Once she arrived, she never left. She was employed at Touro Infirmary for over 40 years, and taught several generations of nurses. She was thoughtful and competent in her profession and schooled her supervisees to be the same. At Touro, she was respected for her dedication, loved by most and respected by all. As a nurse, she made sure that her patients received the best care possible and worked tirelessly to that end. As a resident of Ville Ste. Marie, she was an integral, long-term member of the community, where she continued her devotion to helping others. She assisted other residents with their own health care needs until she could do so no longer. Margie waged a battle with adenoid cystic carcinoma for over ten years, and the disease recently gained the upper hand in the physical battle. Spiritually, though, Margie remained unbeaten, she never complained about her condition and constantly worked to bring light to others. Margie loved costuming and always participated in the Halloween costume contest at Ville Ste. Marie, which she won several times. She also enjoyed decorating her floor for each holiday and season, taking great pride in creating a festive atmosphere. She was known for speaking her mind, yet she always spoke up for truth. Margie was a warm and loving person who always gave to others, even when she needed that care for herself. Daughter of the late William G. and Lois W. Crosby, she is survived by her son Robert, his wife Wendy, their son, Brody; her sisters Shirley Bonney and Mari An Freeman; numerous friends in New Orleans and around the country. She was preceded in the long journey by her husband, Robert Reigle Bell, a WWII Navy veteran; and siblings William G. Crosby, Jr., Susan Wagner, Mildred Kirwan, and Velma Krom. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 6500 Jefferson Hwy. on Saturday, June 1.

He is survived by his adoring family, including his wife of over 37 years, Cheryl, his children Michael, David, and Teresa, his grandson Benjamin, his daughter-in-law Mary Laurel, and by his guide dog Lucy. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Millicent Wassamire; his brother and sister-in-law, John and Gloria Castle; his sister Giulianna Castillo; and other siblings, nieces, nephews, and cousins in the USA and abroad. Cesar was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 10, 1945. Cesar came to America in 1976, and was always working to help and educate others, and himself through his work, including by his service and work in the Hispanic community and the community at large. In Southeast Louisiana he published a popular bilingual newspaper with his wife, life, and business partner Cheryl called "Herencia Hispana," which was a labor of love for the Castles, and which helped share important news of local, national and international significance. As editor of this widely circulated paper, Cesar often editorialized and advocated on important social and political issues and events of significance near and far, speaking his conscience and his political views on many matters. He and Cheryl were always together, working as a team to help others, to raise money for important charitable causes, and to raise awareness in the community of social and human rights issues that matter. He was a CASA Advocate, member of CERT Jefferson, and Flotilla Staff Officer of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Even after health issues sidelined him, and his sight was almost entirely taken away, Cesar regrouped, and began expressing his caring and creative spirit through beautiful works of art which remain with us today as one more wonderful legacy of this man and his inspirational life. Services were held on Saturday, May 18th, at St. Agnes Church in Jefferson at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations be made to Lighthouse For the Blind and/or to Southeastern Guide Dogs.

One of her finest moments was when she was the single host of Bulletin and interviewed Lester Maddox, the infamous segregationist from Atlanta who was running for governor of Georgia. He had agreed to appear on the show only on the condition that segregation not be mentioned. But Ms. Barry refused to ignore that singularly significant topic. When she asked him directly about his segregationist activities, he stormed off the show. The confrontation made headlines in Atlanta, and left the interviewer to fill the air time on her own. This was little trouble for the articulate, opinionated and stage-savvy Joan Barry. While in Chattanooga, Ms. Cook was a regular star of Little Theater productions, filling the house for such blockbusters as Auntie Mame. She was a lover of theater and opera, and her appetite for the arts was well satisfied when she moved to New York City in 1972. In the Big Apple, Ms. Cook built a new career beginning at the age of 47. For 18 years she was North American advertising manager for the Far Eastern Economic Review. Published by Dow Jones, the Review was a weekly global magazine with its primary circulation in Asia. In the course of her work Ms. Cook traveled throughout the United States and frequently in the Far East, visiting Hong Kong and Tokyo as least once a year, as well as such other exotic locales as Singapore and Bangkok. She retired in 1992 and moved to be near her family in Crescent Beach, FL., where she lived for 20 years. She loved Paris and spent summer months there for many years. Throughout her life she was known for her attention to fashion and style. She was known for her affinity for purple and was always, as they say, "dressed to the nines." Ms. Barry- Cook was a staunch advocate of the Alcoholics Anonymous program in St. Augustine and a friend to anyone who needed its assistance. She was a former board member for the Limelight Theater. She was a member of St. Anastasia Catholic Church. She is survived by three children: Madeleine Tidball of Beeville, TX; J. Brian Cook of Chattanooga, TN, and Crescent Beach, FL., and Stephanie Cook Chattanooga and Crescent Beach; eight grandchildren: Jane Ziolkowski of Palm Coast, FL., Monica Stilker of Greenville, S.C.; Laurie Dugan of Tuleta, TX; Michael Cody of San Marcos, TX; Daniel Cody of Santa Monica, CA, and Andy Parton of McMinnville, Tn.; seven great-grandchildren: John Brian Brice of St. Augustine, FL; Jessica Lapp of Boynton Beach, FL; Carissa Klug of Greenville, S.C.; Hannah Hicks, Ashley Townsend, Autumn and Allison Parton and Marcie Boone; two great-great-grandchildren: Emma Grace and Christian Curtis.

She enjoyed bridge but it was the Manhattans and camaraderie she loved the most. Aimee, often compared to "Auntie Mame", loved life and lived it to the fullest until her death.

She made the absolute most of each of her almost 95 years & was the loving mother of Leila Lonero Haydel (Marvin). Mamouche loved her grandchildren, Jeremy Paul Haydel & Jessica Haydel Hawkins (Ben). She is preceded in death by her husband of over 40 years, Peter "Pedu" Lonero, who had two sons, Joseph (Carol) & the late Robert "Bobby" Lonero. Also preceding her in death are her parents, Vincent James & Josephine Vitullo Mancini, as well as 5 siblings: Rose Dodge (Clarence), Vincent Mancini (Pauline), Louise Monaco (Frank), Egean Atkins (Frank) & Albert. She is survived by sisters-in-law Rita Lonero Ferrara & Cathy Mancini Haun. Auntie Jo will be missed by a host of nieces & nephews from Ohio to Minnesota & Utah, California, Georgia & Carolina. Born in Wooster, Ohio, Jo lived most of her life in New Orleans after coming south to help her younger brother Albert who had taken ill while working on the rigs. With no snow and enamored by Pedu, the South became her permanent home for the rest of her 94.8 years. While living in Gentilly, she & Pedu joyously welcomed their only child, Leila Ann. Soon thereafter, Jo began a late career of 20+ years with D. H. Holmes after Peter sold Pedu's Cocktail Lounge due to health issues. Once she moved to Mandeville in 1996 after Pedu's death, she spanned a 'retirement' career going to the gym, dancing, keeping up with Jeremy & Jessica & enjoying church activities at Mary, Queen of Peace. Having come to love the unique cuisines of New Orleans, she enjoyed cooking, but eating was truly her favorite pastime & she savored that until her very last days. Jo was kind & easy to love, with a sweet smile & tender-hearted nature. Her strong will & determination were signs of an independence she developed at a very young age. For over two years, Momma Jo was compassionately guided through to her last moments by her dedicated caregiver Latricia. Special thanks to Latricia's family, Kelsey, Kylie, Shane & Jeff, who treasured having an adopted grandmother during that time. With additional care from Lakeshore Hospice during her final 6 months of life, Momma was comfortable & meticulously managed on every level, thanks to devoted care from Linda, Lisa & Dionne. On Wednesday, May 1, we will celebrate Jo's life by welcoming relatives & friends of the family at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA, 70124.

Please join us for a memorial to Earl on May 22nd at the Soul Bar in Augusta from 7-10pm. Earl was a drummer for many bands in the Atlanta redneck underground scene, and this years' Bubbapalooza festival at the Star Bar will honor his memory. While playing with Slim Chance and the Convicts he was discovered by Cynthia Stillwell who cast him in "Mama Flora's Family". Earl acted in over 50 movies, commercials, and videos. A talking encyclopedia of movie and music trivia, Earl loved being an actor as much as he loved being a drummer. Living in Augusta, Columbia, Athens, Atlanta, Memphis, and LA, Earl kept returning to New Orleans even after being displaced by Katrina. While filming "Love Story for Bobby Long" he met Grayson Capps, played with his band the Stumpknockers, and took a memorable trip to Europe with the band. Becky Hale, his agent kept him busy and he was so excited to be cast in a role, written for him, in Tarantino's "Django Unchained". Tragically rectal CA kept him from performing that role and ultimately ended his life. His mother, Marian, is grateful to his friends in New Orleans and Atlanta that held benefit concerts for him, for all the medical care he received in New Orleans and Augusta, and for all the friends that cared for, visited, called, and thought about him during his illness. The blues band, Bradley's Circus, surprised him by flying in from Europe just to say goodbye. A whirling dervish who lived his life with abandon, it is hard to realize he is gone. Earl is survived by his mother, Marian Hardwick, nephew, Tyler Maddox, and numerous cousins. Earl always treated his many friends as family and they will dearly miss him and tales of his adventures.

No evil can resist grace forever." Brennan Manning known to legions of faithful readers as author, speaker, and contemplative, for whom grace was irresistible, completed his earthly journey on Friday, April 12 at 12:10AM. He is now resting safely in the arms of his Abba. Brennan was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. After attending St. John's University for two years, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving overseas as a sports writer for the U.S. Marine Corps newspaper. Upon his return, Brennan began a program in journalism at the University of Missouri. He departed after a semester, restlessly searching for something "more" in life. "Maybe the something 'more' is God," an advisor suggested, triggering Brennan's enrollment at Saint Francis Catholic seminary in Loretto, Pennsylvania. In February 1956, while Brennan was meditating on the Stations of the Cross, a powerful experience of the personal love of Jesus Christ sealed the call of God on his life. Four years later, he graduated from Saint Francis College with a major in philosophy and minor in Latin. He went on to complete four years of advanced studies in theology. While in the seminary, he was sent to Columbia University as a graduate student in creative writing. He graduated from St. Francis Seminary and was ordained to the Franciscan priesthood in May of 1963. Brennan's ministry responsibilities varied greatly. He served as a theology instructor and campus minister at the University of Steubenville. He worked as the liturgy instructor and spiritual director at Saint Francis Seminary. He lived and worked among the poor in Europe and the U.S. During a two-year leave of absence from the Franciscans in the late sixties, Brennan journeyed to Spain and joined the Little Brothers of Jesus of Charles de Foucauld. An order committed to an uncloistered, meditative life among the poor. Among his many and varied assignments, he became a solitary reflective, secluded in a remote cave for six months in the Zaragoza desert. The early seventies found Brennan back in the U.S. as he and four other priests established an experimental community in the bustling seaport city of Bayou La Batre, Alabama. Seeking to model the primitive life of the Franciscans, the fathers settled in a house on Mississippi Bay and quietly went to work on shrimp boats, ministering to the shrimpers and their families who had drifted out of reach from the church. The fathers restored a chapel that had been destroyed by Hurricane Camille and offered a Friday night liturgy and social event there, which soon became a popular gathering and precipitated many families' return to engagement in the local church. From Alabama, Brennan moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and resumed campus ministry at Broward Community College. This was harshly interrupted, however, when he suffered a precipitate collapse into alcoholism. Six months of treatment restored his health and placed him on the road to recovery. It was at this point in his life that Brennan began writing in earnest. One book soon followed another as invitations for him to speak and to lead spiritual retreats multiplied exponentially. He spent the remainder of his life traveling widely as he continued to write and preach, encouraging men and women everywhere to accept and embrace the good news of God's unconditional love in Jesus Christ. He wrote many influential and popular books, including The Ragamuffin Gospel, Abba's Child, The Parable of Willie Juan and Ruthless Trust. His final book was his memoir, All is Grace. Brennan was the son of the late Emmett and Amy Manning. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Emmett Manning, and his sister-in-law, Celie Manning. His sister, Geraldine Rubino, and her husband, Art, survive him. He will be deeply missed by his nieces and nephews: Amy Sweeney and her husband, Pat; Kevin Manning and his wife, Catherine; Patrick Manning; Kathleen Stanley; Mary Feinman and her husband, Stuart; Kerry Betlesky and her husband, Scott; Erin Embon and her husband, Dan; Sean Rubino and his wife, Laurie; Tim Rubino; and Meghan Lozano and her husband, Jim. His sixteen grand-nieces and grand-nephews will also miss him dearly, as will his stepdaughters, Simone Rackley Emert of California and Nicole Rackley Sears of Texas.

Sr. Kathleen McNally, O.P., known by many as Sr. Hugh, died in Dublin, Ireland, on March 21, 2013, after a lengthy illness. Sr. Kathleen was a teacher par excellence. She taught in Dominican College, Wicklow, Ireland, for eighteen years before she was asked to go to St. Leo the Great School in New Orleans in 1968 with St. Jeanne McLoughlin as a founder of the Cabra Dominicans' Region of Louisiana. In all, she spent thirty-three years in Louisiana, teaching in St. Leo the Great and St. Rosalie School. During those years she taught with the same dedication, enthusiasm and meticulous preparation. One past pupil said, "Sister Hugh first saw what you did right and then showed you what was wrong or how you could improve." When she retired from teaching in school, Sr. Kathleen taught reading and writing to adults in Hope House and also at the Presentation Sisters' Center. During these years, she lectured in Spirituality in the Dominican Conference Center, finally becoming the Coordinator of St. Dominic Parish's CCD program which she loved and where she made many wonderful friends. It was from St. Dominic that she finally retired a few years after Hurricane Katrina and returned to Ireland. During the past five years, Sr. Kathleen bore her illness with equanimity, patience and appreciation of the least act of kindness. A Dominican Sister who lived with Sr. Kathleen for a number of years said on hearing of her death, "I was just thinking in the past while, when there were little or no words left to say, when there were no steps that she could take and when her hands could do no more good deeds, she continued preaching in her living: her patience, attitude, acceptance, graciousness, gratitude - all these were her preaching and teaching to us all and we thank her for teaching to the end." Father P. J. Madden who knew Sr. Kathleen from the time when he ministered in New Orleans, celebrated her funeral Mass in the Dominican Motherhouse, Cabra, Dublin, Ireland. May Sr. Kathleen's noble soul rest in peace! Friends are invited to attend a Mass in celebration of the life of Sr. Kathleen on Wednesday, May 8, at 5:30 p.m. at St. Dominic Church.

Shifra is survived by two sisters, Mildred and Ellen; her four children, Jeffrey, (Lisa), Dennis, (Susan), Leslie, (Curtis), and Naomi, (Gary); three granddaughters, Alissa, (Ted), Leah, (Kris) and Hanna, and three great grandchildren, Zach, Lily, Briella and Joshua. Shifra led a very full life, growing up in Chicago, marrying Marvin, getting her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees and becoming a career woman while raising her four children. She spoke French and Spanish and traveled widely with Marvin, even living in Paris, France for a year in the mid-1950s. Later she and Marvin were among the first Americans to visit China in the early 1970s, eventually leading tour groups there. For five years In the 1980s they lived in Christchurch, New Zealand. They traveled the world and collected art wherever they went. Shifra was a woman who felt strongly about various causes and acted on those feelings. She was a civil rights leader in New Orleans and participated in early public school integration efforts. She founded and directed the LSU Therapeutic Nursery School for autistic children. She was an avid letter-to-the-editor writer and active in the community in many ways. She often supported causes that later became mainstream, when few initially did. She spoke her mind to anyone she felt needed to hear it. Shifra was a life-long learner, a discoverer, an advocate, a pioneer. She was always eager to expand her knowledge and share information that she knew would be beneficial for others, whether it be about a nutritional supplement, Irlen Lenses for Scotopic Sensitivity, the evils of refined sugar, an exciting new political candidate, awareness of an oppressed minority, the benefits of vitamin therapy, another beautiful part of the planet she and Marv had visited, a great new film, and so much more. She was an avid reader and kept a journal of her own reviews, written in shorthand, so she could tell you what she thought about any book she had read over many years. She was also an author, having written an autobiography that is currently available at the Bellingham, WA public library. Music was a big part of her life and the lives of her children. She played piano and one of her favorite things was to have two of her children sitting next to her on the piano bench singing along while she played songs from various collections, like English and American folk songs. She was an amateur songwriter; the sheet music of her song "The Bird is on the Wing" lived for years in the archives of her piano bench and still does in the minds of her children. She loved opera. She would borrow the next opera in the local season series from the public library and the house would be filled with beautiful music for weeks before the concert. After big arias Shifra's voice could be heard above the applause expressing some of the most enthusiastic "bravos." Shifra was a very special woman. We feel very lucky to have known and loved her. If you feel moved to make a donation in her name, please choose a charity or cause that you know she would support.

Occupation: Music Instructor, Orleans Parish School Board, 1947-1980 (33 years) @ Elementary Schools: McDonough 39, Gentilly Terrace, Wilson, Lafayette and Hines (Lakeview). Harry was also a musician (trumpet) and orchestra leader and performed in the New Orleans area from 1932-2005 (73 years). Throughout his career as a musician, he performed in: Daily week-day radio/studio band programs (KRNT) Des Moines Iowa, Mainliner Club (Leader: Barney Bernard), National Premier of movie "State Fair," Des Moines-Drake Symphony Orchestra, Johnny Kidd Orchestra w/Lee Fortier, New Orleans POPS, Nat Brandywine Orchestra, Joe Reichman Orchestra, Skinnay Ennis Orchestra, Joe Martin Orchestra (NYC), Emil Coleman Orchestra (NYC),Blue Prestopnik Orchestra, Rene Louapre Orchestra, and Russ Papalia Orchestra (New Orleans). In the 50's he also took spot gigs at most of New Orleans famous show-rooms such as the Beverly Supper Club and the Roosevelt Hotel's famous Blue Room. From 1975-2005 he was the Leader of the Harry Morel Orchestra. His orchestra included many of New Orleans finest musicians at the time such as Herb Tassin, Frank Vicari, Norman Faulk, Bob Benoit, Leon Krasnoff, Frank Alessi, and Julius Chavez. In the latter years of his orchestra's tenure, it was not unusual to find former students that he introduced to music in their early years, actually playing as sidemen in the Harry Morel Orchestra. For decades Mr. Morel was on a first-name basis with the Captains of all of the Carnival Crews of his day, and his Orchestra frequently performed at the balls and supper dances for most of the major Krewes. Since 1985 Mr. Morel and family have funded in perpetuity the annual Father Fox Award presented to the outstanding band instrumentalist at Jesuit High School. Harry and Sports: As a young man, Harry was an all-around sports enthusiast, and excelled on the baseball diamond. While at Jesuit High School, he was the starting first-baseman on the 1936 American Legion State and Regional Championship team, while hitting .386. He often reminisced about the days of playing ball at Jesuit with the likes of Connie Ryan and Larry Gilbert. In the early/mid '60's he and his wife Anna became avid LSU baseball and football fans and enjoyed travelling to Baton Rouge to watch their two (2) sons, Harry Jr.(baseball) and Tommy(football) perform. Harry was also an avid fly-fisherman, and in the '70s and '80s he could often be found angling for that "monster green trout." Katrina Experience: Two (2) days before Katrina hit the New Orleans area, Harry was admitted to Ochsner Baptist Hospital having earlier been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. When the attempt was made to evacuate the elderly and critical care patients from Ochsner Baptist to triage in Baton Rouge, Harry was fortunate to have been chosen to board the National Guard bus transporting patients to Baton Rouge. Although lucky in this regard, days later Harry was to learn that his house in Gentilly hard been hard-hit by Katrina's waters, and was a total loss. Thus began Harry's successful battle against this deadly disease, as well as his inspirational attitude in the post-Katrina aftermath.

Born on December 5, 1923, in Calvary, Georgia, Louise was preceded in death by her parents (Ira and Alice Butler), brothers (Bill, Ed, John and Paul David Butler) and sisters (Mildred Swinson and Mary Cullifer). She is survived by her daughter, Lisa McDonald - husband, Pat, of the New Orleans area, her son, Erik Oistad - wife, Linda, of the Dallas area and numerous extended family members that she loved. When her brother, Paul David, was no longer able to continue active military service due to World War II battle wounds sustained overseas, Louise enlisted in the United States Navy "to take his place." In 1954, she received an honorable discharge after her enlistment was concluded with the title of Radar Specialist 3rd class. Louise maintained a lifelong, patriotic dedication to her country. Louise lived in Metairie, a New Orleans suburb for many years as a homemaker. She moved to Tallahassee, FL in the late 1990's. Louise had a creative, artistic spirit. She was an accomplished baker and seamstress and later in life became a prolific painter and poet. Her greatest happiness was being with friends and family, sitting with a fishing pole on the side of a pond, and knowing that the Lord is great in all things. Her Christian faith was very important to her, and she was active in church life for as long as she was able. She served as an Elder at Parkway Presbyterian Church in Metairie, and she had been a member of the Eastern Star organization.

O'Leary, beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, went home on April 25, 2013 suddenly and peacefully. He was born in West Lynn MA on April 23, 1924. He was preceded in death by sisters Marian Spellman, Alice Bermingham, Ann O'Leary, Martha O'Toole, brother Eugene O'Leary, and his parents, Eugene and Alice O'Leary. Others who preceded him in death were his first wife, Mildred Edwards O'Leary, and his second wife Rose Friswell O'Leary. He graduated from Lynn Classical High School in 1942 and after taking the Army Alpha was placed in engineering school by the Army. He was removed from the college program along with all of his friends and was sent to Basic training again in Louisiana. They were all sent to England in Fall 1944 and were placed in the front lines of the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. All of his friends and acquaintances except for Billy Lumpkin, his BAR man, were either killed or wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. Jack O'Leary took a German mortar through the chest on Jan 10, 1945. He was 19 and not expected to live, so he was kept in a field hospital for a long time. When he refused to die, the medics finally evacuated him out of the triage tent and sent him to a safer location, including a hotel in Paris and numerous hospitals in England and Scotland. He arrived in the US on VE day, but was considered too ill to participate in the parties. While at Walter Reed, he broadcasted for the Army Hour (NBC) and met Mildred Edwards. He was released from Walter Reed in November 1945. After is DAV discharge, he gave talks to civil and religious groups in Lynn and the war. Jack O'Leary married Mildred Edwards in June 1947 and went to the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis. He graduated with honors in 1949 and went into optometry practice in New Bedford, MA. In his spare time, he was active in the VFW and Knights of Columbus. He also acted in radio plays and was a valued member of the local Little Theater. Jack moved his family to Jacksonville, FL in the mid-1950's and went to work for New York Life Insurance. He earned his CLU and was moved into a management position. This promotion required moving to a variety of cities. He spent 2 years in New Orleans, where the whole family enjoyed entertaining his agents in his home. His next assignment was Beaumont, TX. While in Beaumont, he became a civil rights leader. This was an intensely unpopular thing to do in East Texas in the 1960's, so he was transferred to Amarillo in 1970. After 2 years in Amarillo, he was hired by MONY for their Coral Gables office. He was thrilled to be able to use his boat to do salt-water fishing again. His beloved wife Mildred died in 1979 and he retired soon after her death. He busied himself with fishing, traveling, bridge, running singles groups, going to parties at the Coral Gables Country Club, and doing substitute teaching in the Miami public schools. He served as a host on a 20-day Panama Canal cruise, as dancing, bridge, and conversation were a major part of his skill set. He taught himself the organ and played at a variety of custodial care facilities. Jack loved South Miami and made a lot of friends there. He continuously went to parties and dances. He met Rose Friswell in Miami and they married in 1992. They moved to Palm City FL soon after their wedding. Rose was diagnosed with ALS just 3 years into their marriage and Jack took care of her every day and night until she died in 1997. Jack had many friends in Palm City and went dancing about 3 nights a week but moved to San Antonio TX in 2003 to be near his family. During his years in San Antonio, he was very active at the JCC, the Helotes Senior Center, and a variety of other organizations. He moved to Patriot Heights in 2011 and became involved in the University United Methodist Church. At that time, he also began studying the Bible. He taught bridge at a variety of places and played bridge the day that he passed away. As for Jack's personality, he was very intelligent, generous, gregarious, loyal to his friends over the decades, and all people were equal in his sight. His integrity was above reproach and he judged all people as the Lord would judge them. He recognized talent, drive, and ability in others and always attempted to nurture it. Jack was honest and let you know what he was thinking. He had a witty sense of humor and his storytelling ability (an ethnic Irish trait) was amazing. He had friends from all cultures and backgrounds and actively enjoyed unusual people. Basically, he was a force of nature. Jack made a decision to never discuss the details of the Battle of the Bulge with anyone. If anyone commented on his scars, he would say, "yup, it's a gift from the Germans " and the conversation ended. At some point after 2003, he figured out that everyone who really knew the truth was dead, memory-impaired, or almost dead. He agreed to be interviewed by Voices of Veterans for their oral history project. His 3 hour account of his wartime experiences is online at the Voices of Veterans website. It is harrowing but historically interesting. Jack was raised in church and rarely missed a Sunday or Holy Day. He knew for a fact that he would be with his loved ones after he was finished with his earthly body. His survivors include daughter and son-in-law Pat and James F. Crane, grandchild and husband Kelly Deidre Woolley and Brandon Cellic Woolley, his Friswell grandchildren, great-grandchildren Keira Deidre and Brody Cellic Woolley and grand-dog Justin Crane. Jack also leaves behind his brother Timothy O'Leary and dozens of nieces, nephews, grandnieces and nephews, numerous cousins, Charlie Forward of Newfoundland, and at least 30 cousins in County Cork, Ireland. Jack will be sorely missed by everyone he touched. We will celebrate his life and give thanks to God for him. Jack is going home to Lynn MA for his wake, funeral, military honors, burial next to his parents and his post-funeral feast. Cuffe-McGinn of Lynn MA will be handling all events on May 6 and 7. Anyone wishing to send flowers may contact Welch Florist at 781 595 8222. Anyone wishing to honor his memory in any other way may send a donation to the Center for The Intrepid. Special thanks to Nellie Faye Davies of Patriot Heights, Mark O'Toole of the Lynn Police department, and Jake Hill of Boston and Nashville. We love you, Jack.

She learned to sew and play guitar from her mother, and she was also a tremendous bibliophile- deliberately shunning her Mother's Day Nook. She loved 'reality TV' and all music-country, pop, soft rock, show tunes, and even rap (although she would deny it). She loved to dance, play cards, ski, play tennis with her besties, and vacation with family and friends. She loved telling dirty jokes and she loved them even more when she messed up the punch line. She just loved to laugh. Lover of all chocolate candy, she would hide it from herself and revel in the excitement of accidentally stumbling upon the stashes she hid. She loved hugging and not letting go and always getting in the last "I love you." More.

He was born in Baton Rouge on December 7, 1921. He grew up in Sunshine, Louisiana, where his mother was the postmaster and his grandfather established a dry goods store. The day after his graduation from LSU's School of Journalism in June, 1942, Oscar enrolled as an aviation cadet in the U.S. Army Air Corps, was selected as a bombardier and eventually assigned to the 384th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, stationed at Grafton Underwood, England. On its third mission, Oscar's B-17 bomber was hit by flak over Abbeville, France. After releasing his bombs, He bailed out but was captured and taken prisoner by the Germans. He withstood interrogation, solitary confinement, and endured almost two years in captivity at Stalag Luft I, in Barth, Germany. Following the prison camp's liberation by the Russian Army in June 1945, Oscar made his way home to Sunshine in July, 1945. On September 20, 1947, he married Billie Ruth Gathright. Oscar began his career at LSU shortly thereafter, ultimately becoming the Director of Public Relations before retiring in 1984. During his tenure he directed the operations of the Rural Life Museum and the LSU Museum of Art. After retiring from LSU, Oscar spent much of his time designing and creating fine pieces of furniture for his five children and thirteen grandchildren. He was inducted into LSU's Ole War Skule Hall of Honor in the fall of 2003 and into the Manship School of Journalism's Hall of Fame in 2009. He rarely missed an LSU home football game, including the entire 2012 season. Oscar and Billie were among the first parishioners at St. Aloysius Catholic Church. He also served on the board of directors of the Foundation for Historical Louisiana. In 2000, the LSU Press published his memoir of his experiences as an aviator and prisoner of war, entitled Kriegie: An American POW in Germany. As a result of his book's success, he was in great demand as a speaker. He regaled audiences with his encyclopedic knowledge of history combined with his own fascinating stories of his POW and combat experiences. All of the men in his B-17 bomber crew made it safely home and all remained close friends until their deaths. Oscar was the last of the group to pass. Oscar will be greatly missed by his children and their spouses, Kathleen Richard Callaghan and John Broussard, Donna and Michael Rainone, Kelly and James Brown, and Reed and Lori Hahn Richard. He was preceded in death by his wife Billie of 55 years, their beloved daughter Linda Richard Abadie, his parents, Oscar Gabriel Richard, Jr. and Abigail Callaghan Richard, brothers Bobby and Barry Richard, and sister Betty Richard Fernandez, and grandson William David Brown. Other surviving members of his family include grandchildren, Max Magbee, Caitlin Magbee, Chris Rainone and his wife Kristen, Louise Rainone Musial and husband Mike Musial, Gabriel Rainone and wife Haley, Robert Rainone, Raymond Rainone, Ellen Abadie, Kelly Abadie, James and Rebecca Brown, Benjamin Brown, Nicholas Brown, Samuel Richard, great-grandchildren Gus and Louis Musial, and son-in-law Chris Abadie.

Jerry sauntered through life, somehow weaving a peaceful existence through some of our country's most event-filled times, all the while carrying a story on his lips and an extended hand to those around him. Jerry was born on February 12, 1923; beginning his romance with New Orleans, the city he would call home until August of 2005 when Hurricane Katrina escorted him, along with the rest of New Orleans, to drier land. In 1940, Jerry became a Blue Jay for life, graduating from storied Jesuit High School. Four years later, Jerry earned his Bachelor of Science from Loyola University in New Orleans. Shortly after graduation, he began a tour with the Army's 1905th Service Command Unit where he served as a Medical Lab Technician until his separation in 1946. Jerry enjoyed his friendly competition too. He was an avid golfer. Many golfers don't leave this world with a hole-in-one to their credit. Jerry did. As a member of the Audubon Golf Club, he teed it up for years competing with friends, celebrities such as Fred McMurray, Johnny Bench, and Archie Manning, and perhaps his greatest competition, his wife Terry! Jerry also enjoyed tennis and racquetball. And as a true-blue New Orleanian, Jerry bled black and gold as a season ticket holder in both Tulane Stadium and the Superdome. Jerry became a local business owner in the 1960s, opening The Bakery on Franklin Avenue in Gentilly. The Bakery was very popular with local residents, police and firefighters, and the many others who would take the ride to eat a fresh po-boy and sit for a while with Jerry…just to talk. Jerry graced The Bakery right up until he would concede to the destructive power of Katrina in 2005. Jerry was married to Thayer (Terry) Gournay Seely on May 29, 1959. He is survived today by the two lovely daughters Jerry and Terry raised together, Stephanie Ann Seely, 52, and Renee Cathlyn Seely, 49.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana on July 10, 1928, he was the son of the late Lillian Greene and Eugene Henry Sonfield. He retired with his family to Hilton Head, SC in 1987. After graduating from the Isidore Newman School, Bob received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Tulane University. He served in the United States Navy as a Lt. JG staff officer to the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Naval Forces during the Korean War. Bob began his 27-year department store career as an executive trainee at Maison Blanche and rose through the ranks to become President of the store. Later he opened his own furniture stores in New Orleans before retiring to Hilton Head, where he decided he would rather go back to work. In 1990 Bob and his wife opened another store, Expressions Furniture on New Orleans Rd, in Hilton Head. Bob was involved in many civic activities in his hometown New Orleans. In 1966 he began the Arnold Palmer Golf Exhibition for the Heart Fund. He was the founder of the Rex Awards, the annual Overture to the Cultural Season. He served on the Boards of the First National Bank of Commerce, Touro Infirmary, and the New Orleans Symphony. He was General Campaign Chairman of the United Way and, in 1974, was named one the Ten Outstanding Men of New Orleans by the Institute of Human Understanding. Bob was a member of The School of Design, Krewe of Rex, the New Orleans Carnival organization and was one of the original founders of the Mardi Gras parade "Bacchus". On Hilton Head he was a member of the board of Trustees of Hilton Head Preparatory School, a co-founder of the Parents Council there and also a member of the Parents Council of The University of the South, Sewanee. Bob liked cars, boats, and planes (after over-coming fear of flying). He found relaxation in collecting, maintaining and taking care of his "toys". He also enjoyed watching his children's sports and activities. But his favorite time of all was just being with his family. A large and devoted family will miss Bob. Survivors include his wife of 42 years, Andrea Beerman Sonfield; his children: Robert Sonfield of Shreveport, LA; Loren Kapelow Hill (Greg) of Wilson, WY; Justin Sonfield (Naomi) of Glen Ridge, NJ; Dr. John Sonfield (Meredith)of Florence, SC; and Jenny Wolf (John) of New York, NY; grandchildren Brandon, Alexandra, Caroline, Garner, Tate, Locke and Ella ; and a favorite cousin Dr. Richard Greene (Lynda ) of Palo Alto, CA. By the Grace of God and his own strong will, Bob overcame many health challenges over the past 20 years. We will remember his integrity, honesty, work ethic, discipline and character. But most of all, we will cherish the love he gave to his family. A graveside service was held at Six Oaks Cemetery on Sunday, May 12.

It was evident she made an impact on the students she encountered as many of them stayed in touch with her over the years. Her most recent place of employment was Gretna Middle School, Grenta, LA. Cheryl's biggest pride and joy was that of her grandchildren, Cody and Cameron. They both brought a greater meaning of life to her and she was a big part of who they are now. She invested most of her time to both her grandson's and to Cody with their shared love of Baseball. Her life often revolved around her grandson's sports schedules. She will be forever remembered by the many members of the baseball teams Cody was a part of over the years, who all knew her as "MeMe". She was a fixture on the sidelines; so much so that during a short period she even ran a small family business called Kid Sports Photography because she had a love for photography too. It was a way to bring the family together for baseball events, be there for every game Cody played and document the other team member's successes on the field for their parents. As Cameron has grown she was also very involved in the many different sports he participated in too. She also enjoyed playing cards, Pinochle and Euker, with her family members and two fun loving Uncle's, Richard and Duane. To those who knew her well she was always a very generous and sincere person. Over the years she has made a positive impact on many people and will forever be remembered as a wonderful and loving Daughter, Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt and her biggest role as the beloved "MeMe".
