She had a stroke last Saturday at the age of 82. She survived a stroke and major brain surgery in August 2002. She made a miraculous recovery throughout the years. She far surpassed any doctor's prognosis. After the first stroke, God granted us 10 years, 11 months and 8 days with my mother. God, Jesus, Holy Spirit - We will never be able to thank you enough. God has always been the most important part of my mother's life. Her faith drove her existence. For years, she was a lector and Eucharistic minister. She received the medal of the Order of St. Louis. Incredibly strong willed, mom always wanted to and frequently attended mass even when she did not feel her best. She loved God above all else, and people could see that love radiating from within her. Recently, I came into the kitchen and my mom was seated at the table. Her head was tilted upward and looking at the wall. Light shined in through the window illuminating her profile. She sat quietly, deep in prayer. This moment, so common and yet so extraordinary, was profoundly beautiful to see. The presence of God and her relationship with Him was so evident it was almost unbelievable. Looking back, I believe that our Lord was letting my mother know that she would soon be going home. Her family: Galo, Galo, Maria, David, Jacquelyn, Brook, Ronnie, Vickie, Mark, Sarah and Jacob will miss her deeply. Visitation at St. Joseph Church will be held Saturday, July 20th at 10am with mass at 11am. Final resting place will be at Westlawn Cemetery.

He was 91. A friend to all who were lucky enough to work with, play with, know him or even play against him, Matt Batts started life in San Antonio where he learned sandlot baseball on gravel streets. "I was always the one who hit the furthest," he recalled to biographer Bill Nowlin. "In junior high, I was quite a hitter [and] everybody wanted me to play. I'd ride my bicycle across town." In high school, he made Texas All-State in American Legion ball and still holds the Texas high school javelin record. Batts started playing on a semipro team for five dollars a game and, in a runaway over an opponent, he asked to play catcher. "I wanted to see how it was catching. I picked off a runner at first and threw one out at third. I always had a great arm. I could throw one from home plate over the left field fence." When he was a 20-year-old Baylor student in 1942, the Boston Red Sox signed him as an amateur free agent and secretly paid his tuition. He was kicked off the college team as a result (ultimately inducted into Baylor's Hall of Fame) and joined the Army Air Corps serving the duration of World War II, finishing as sergeant. After the war, he moved to Boston. Matt Batts debuted with the Red Sox on September 10, 1947, hitting a homerun in his very first major league at bat. He rocked Boston in the double header, batting a sensational .500 in sixteen times to the plate. Next year was even better. "When you woke up in the morning, you wanted to get to the ballpark to play ball, because you enjoyed it," he remembered to sportswriter Peter Golenbock. "And you loved the people you were with, loved the manager (Joe McCarthy), loved the coaches, and of course, we had great ballplayers." He played as an outstanding Red Sox catcher and fielder for four seasons. Batts was traded to the St. Louis Browns in 1951 where he hit .302 and caught for Satchell Paige, the first pitcher from the Negro leagues in the American League. He was there when pinch-hitter 3'7" dwarf Eddie Gaedel made his only at- bat wearing Browns' jersey "1/8" as a publicity stunt. The following year, St. Louis traded Batts to the Detroit Tigers where he started 116 games as catcher. On August 25, 1952, Batts caught for Virgil Trucks when Trucks became only the third Major League pitcher to throw two no-hitters in a season. In 1954, Detroit traded Batts to Chicago, then to Baltimore later that year. Finally, the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds purchased Batts' contracts. His last appearance on the diamond was May 8, 1956, catching for Cincinnati. In 546 games of which he started 409, Batts racked up 26 home runs, 219 runs batted in, a batting average of .269 and a fielding percentage of .985. Rather than go back to the minors, Batts retired his catcher's mask. Crisscrossing Louisiana during spring trainings, Batts had begun stopping in Baton Rouge to help with baseball clinics. He and his wife Arleene liked the people and moved to Louisiana's capital city. Batts started the Baton Rouge Cougars as a way for LSU University High students to play baseball and to encourage baseball in the Baton Rouge area. He also befriended East Baton Rouge Sheriff Bryan Clemmons who recruited him to help with juvenile delinquents. "Instead of deputies arresting juveniles," Batts recalled, "we would pick them up and talk to them and see if we couldn't get things straightened out." He and Arleene started one of Baton Rouge's successful printing companies, Batts Printing, before selling out a decade ago and retiring. Golf became his game and on his 83rd birthday, Batts hit a hole-in-one on the Country Club of Louisiana course. His loving wife of 69 years, Arleene preceded him in death less than three months ago. He was also preceded in death by his parents, Matthew senior and Margaret, and by half-sister Eva Heep, the mother of Mets and Dodgers outfielder Danny Heep. He is survived by two grateful daughters, Susan Batts and Denise Batts-Claflin of Baton Rouge; four grandchildren, Matthew Claflin and wife Megan of St. Louis, MO; Foster Alessi; Jary Claflin; and Kellie Claflin Joseph and husband Cheney Joseph; and two great-grandchildren, Madaleine Alessi and Alexandra Bethea. His dog Max will also miss him. Following visitation from 4:00 to 6:00 PM on Saturday July 20 at Rabenhorst Downtown, a memorial service will be held officiated by Dr. Ken Ward, Coordinator of Chaplain Services for the Louisiana Legislature. Former 5-time College World Series Champion Coach and LSU Athletic Director Skip Bertman recalls, "Matt Batts really was an unsung hero who was legendary for helping kids play better ball. Long after he left the big leagues, he always gave of himself as an instructor, and he and Arleene donated printing to help the clinics and LSU baseball. He will be missed." Political kingmaker and baseball fan James Carville adds, "Matt Batts had arguably one of the greatest names in the history of baseball. All of his contributions to baseball serve only to compliment his later contributions to Baton Rouge. The city lost one of its great citizens and treasures in Matt." Baton Rouge car dealer and former Giants Minor Leaguer Eric Lane said of Batts, "Mr. Matt helped us considerably with the Kids Clinics. He taught catching and everybody loved him. He gave his time freely and printed all the programs for our fundraising banquets. Ten years in the majors as a catcher is phenomenal." Former Baton Rouge sportscaster Mike Rhodes remembers, "Matt Batts was an unsung but true legend who finished very well as a man. He was a friend to everyone and was instrumental in helping put Baton Rouge baseball on the map."

She was born October 12, 1946, in Jackson, MS, oldest of four and daughter of the late Lloyd Clyne Willoughby and the late Mary Frances Fisher Willoughby. Linda was childhood sweetheart and loving wife of Dan E. Civello; beloved and cherished mother of Sara Basso (Edward), Charles Goodwin (Adrienne) and step-mother of Daniel L. Civello (Michelle); and most proud, adoring and ever-loving grandmother of Sophia Mary and Olivia Linda Basso and Mila Rose Goodwin. Loved and survived by two brothers, Stephen Willoughby and Charles Willoughby and sister DeeDee Willoughby; sisters-in-law Carol Willoughby, the late Eileen Willoughby, Diane Civello, and Debbie Sarjeant; nephews Scott Willoughby (Mehrsa); nieces Jennifer Schwin (Scott) and Erin Toussieng (Greg); great nephews Cole Willoughby and Christian Toussieng and great nieces Ella Schwin and Caleigh Toussieng. Linda endeared herself to everyone she met. Her kind heart, beautiful blue eyes, wonderful laugh and radiant smile was unforgettable. Spending time with family and friends, especially loving on her three granddaughters, warmed her heart. Some of Linda's joys were planting pretty flowers and "puttering around" in her garden, oatmeal cookies (any cookie for that matter) and strawberries, her quilt group of close friends, diet coke, cooking shows, high heels, art, theatre and cultural events, her dog, "Wild Bill", looking at the dessert menu first before ordering her entrée, accompanying her husband every season to Saints, LSU, and Zephyrs games and cheering them on (attending horseracing and boxing matches too!) and volunteering in her last months of life at Church with dear friend and sponsor, Sister Vianney. Life is all about choices. Linda sacrificed and humbly made the right ones. She chose faith, hope and love; started her day with grace, gratitude and a positive attitude; and was an inspiration to us all. Her thoughts, deeds and purpose were family. Being a devoted mother was central to her life - she considered her children and grandchildren her greatest blessing. Linda was constant in love, guidance and example. Hers was a life fulfilled by selfless giving, an example for which all can aspire to be in their lives. She truly and deeply loved and her legacy will live on forever. While family was her focus, faith was her foundation. She was an example of Christ, especially in the nurturing of her family. Linda had a spirit of giving, sacrifice and humility. She loved the way He asks us to love-unconditionally and without reserve. Linda was a steel magnolia. Her gentle soul, strong will and shining spirit leaves an indelible imprint on our hearts. She was courageous and beautiful inside and out. We will remember her as caring and compassionate who held honor, loyalty, honesty and respect in the highest regard. Throughout life, Linda maintained her sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many who were changed by her loving and gracious spirit. Hope, generosity, kindness and a sense of humor were her signature gifts. Her greatest gift though was making other people - family, friends and complete strangers alike - feel special and appreciated. She saw beauty and discovery in everything and everyone. Linda was passionate about reading and lifelong learning. She was proud to have graduated from Tulane at the age of 61 and inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society and Who's Who Among American College Students. At the time of her cancer diagnosis, she was working full-time and enrolled in the Master's Program at Tulane. Retiree of Tulane University; active member of Metairie Woman's Club; faithful parishioner of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church & International Shrine of St. Jude, and proud member of St. Jude Choir and the Archdiocese of New Orleans Gospel Choir. Linda found great joy in music and singing with treasured friend, Cynthia, and fellow friends each Sunday at Mass, Christmas Eve Midnight Masses, various concerts throughout the city and on stage at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival under the Gospel Tent. Former 2004 Queen of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Old Metairie, she enjoyed many years of riding. This past March, knowing it would be her last ride, she excitedly organized a family float, wanting to give another special memory for us all. Linda's passing leaves a hole in our hearts. Her last typed words were "Remember how much I love each of you and be kind to one another… always." We will sure miss hearing "hey, baby" and "I love you, baby" in her sweet voice. She will be fondly remembered as our angel who lived, laughed, and loved.

Collins. He died peacefully following an extended illness in Edmond, OK on July 9, 2013, at the age of 83. Robert, known as Bob, graduated from Alcee Fortier High School in New Orleans, LA and went on to earn his B.S. degree in Geology from Tulane University in 1951. That year, he married his great love, Jane Anne Fornof, and went on to have five wonderful children. Bob joined the Naval ROTC in order to finance his college education eventually attaining the rank of Lieutenant (J.G.) upon his honorable discharge. Bob furthered his education at Louisiana State University, earning a M.S. and Ph. D. in Geology, becoming the first LSU graduate to attain that level of education in Geology in 1956. Bob was courted and offered a position with Shell Oil Company. During his tenure at Shell, he travelled the world exploring for oil and gas, going to such countries as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Cambodia. He even moved his family of 6.5 to The Hague, Netherlands to be a part of Shell's first offshore explorations, spending his last 3 years with Shell in Midland, TX. In 1969, Bob was offered and accepted an opportunity to become Vice President of Exploration for Eason Oil, a private family held company based in Oklahoma City, OK. Within six months he was promoted to President and subsequently CEO and Chairman of the Board eventually taking the company public and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Thereafter, he negotiated the sale of Eason Oil to ITT Corp. where he continued as President, CEO and Chairman of the Board until ITT Corp began selling individual units of the company during the late 1980's. Bob then founded Colloil, Inc. and continued in the oil and gas exploration and production business until his death. He mentored many young aspiring oilmen taking great joy in their successes and careers and was often sought out by his fellow oil men for advice due to his expertise, brilliant geologic mind and as said by many, his "uncanny ability to smell oil in the ground". Bob's beloved wife, Jane, succumbed to breast cancer at the age of 60 in 1990 after 39 wonderful years of marriage, exciting adventures and challenges raising 5 children. Only after great grief was Bob blessed to meet and marry the second love of his life, Nan Fuller Stonecipher of Atlanta, GA and gained 2 stepsons. Bob and Nan maintained homes in Atlanta and Oklahoma City, so that they could be close to their children and grandchildren who they loved dearly. Bob was a long time member of Quail Creek Golf & Country Club, past President of the Petroleum Club of OKC, a Director of Earth Satellite Corporation and a board member of the Allied Arts Foundation, the OKC Zoological Society, the Oklahoma Heritage Association, the Frontiers of Science Foundation of Oklahoma and the American Petroleum Institute. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, tennis player and golfer, hitting a hole-in-one and winning many tournaments. Bob is survived by his wife of 21 years, Nan, his children and their spouses Jane Collins, Anne Roach, Robert and Catherine Collins, William and Anne Collins and Clay Collins, his grandchildren, Catherine (Roach) and Lucas Daniels, Erin Roach, Caroline Collins, and Cameron and Carly Collins. His stepsons and their spouses Steve and Heather Stonecipher and Chris and Danielle Stonecipher, his grandchildren, Laurel Mishkin and Sarah Ann Stonecipher and David and Olivia Stonecipher. He is also survived by his sister Gloria (Dodie) Baudier of Greenville, SC and brother and sister-in-law Donald O. and Mary Kay Collins of New Orleans, LA.

COLONEL ROBERT JAMES EITEL U.S. MARINE CORPS, RETIRED Robert "Bob" James Eitel died peacefully on July 7, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada, surrounded by the family who loved him. He was 82. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Sandra Makin Eitel; their son, Robert Scott "Bob" Eitel of Alexandria, Virginia, and daughter, Pamela Jean Hatty of Las Vegas; daughter-in-law, Nan Roberts Eitel of Alexandria; son-in-law, Ross Hatty of Las Vegas; grandchildren, Makin James Eitel, Taylor Lawrence Hatty, Henry Robert Hatty, and Molly Rose Hatty; brother-in-law, John Holmes Makin, and his wife, Gwendolyn Van Paasschen, and their daughter, Jane, of Washington, D.C.; a sister, Dolores Eitel; and a nephew, Steven Maviglio. Bob was a larger than life character, adored by friends and family for his great sense of humor, hearty appetite, straight-laced ways, manifest generosity, unerring bluntness, and resolute character. Born in Newark, New Jersey, on September 17, 1930, Bob was the son of hardworking German immigrants, Josephine, a beautician, and Emil, a house painter who had arrived at Ellis Island from the German village of Hinterweidenthal in 1923. Bob grew up in a German working- class neighborhood in Irvington, New Jersey, where he befriended for life Frank Rothenberg and Frank's future wife, Shirley Tanenbaum. An exemplary athlete, Bob graduated from Irvington (N.J.) High School and attended Adelphi College in Garden City, New York, on a football scholarship, where he lettered in five sports-football, baseball, lacrosse, track, and squash. Bob graduated from Adelphi with a bachelor of science in physical education in 1953. He then played football for the Third Marine Division and was selected for the All Marine Football Team in 1954. He continued his passion for sports throughout his life, later mastering handball, tennis, and racquetball. Adelphi inducted Bob into its athletic hall of fame in 2006, when football legend Al Davis, who coached Bob while a line coach at Adelphi, described him as "the prototype lineman of his time." In an interview that year with the Prescott Valley (Az.) Tribune about his award, Bob explained that weight lifting before it was popular was the secret to his success. "While everyone else was doing push-ups and sit- ups I was lifting weights," he said. Bob entered the Platoon Leadership Corps while at Adelphi and received his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps in June 1953. After service in the infantry, Bob earned his "wings" as a naval aviator in 1957. A skilled and highly decorated helicopter pilot, Bob survived a crash landing of his carrier-based helicopter in the Caribbean Sea and volunteered for helicopter operations in Operation Blue Bat during the Lebanon crisis of 1958. Recognized for his flying skills, he piloted Marine One for Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy while stationed at HMX-1 in Quantico, Virginia, from 1959-63 and later served as the chief flight instructor at Pensacola NAS. After completing the Amphibious Warfare School in 1964, Bob served two tours in Vietnam (with MABS-16 in Da Nang in 1965 and MACV in Saigon from 1969-70). Bob flew 139 combat missions, including one during his second tour when his helicopter was shot down during operations along the Cambodian border. He was pursued under fire by North Vietnamese forces while he evaded capture for several days before being rescued. After returning home from Vietnam in 1970, Bob served as the assistant operations officer at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, California, and finally as a helicopter squadron commander at Santa Ana Marine Corps Air Station, California. Bob retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1973 to head the Marine Corps ROTC program at Jesuit High School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Consistent with his valor, Bob received numerous distinguished medals and commendations, including the Bronze Star, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Air Medal (with four stars), the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross, the Republic of Vietnam Medal of Honor (1st Class), the Presidential Service Badge, pistol and rifle expert badges, and numerous other decorations and citations. In 1975, Bob began a second successful career with Merrill Lynch in New Orleans, retiring in 1992 as a Vice President. Until almost the day he died, he loved studying investments and trading in the markets for his own accounts. Bob was an active member of the Rotary Club of the Westbank and was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation. Bob and Sandy later lived in Carriere, Mississippi, and Dewey, Arizona, before residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bob had a passion for Cadillacs, great fruit desserts (particularly those with whipped cream), gardening, and Siamese cats. In 1961, he lost his base driving privileges at Quantico for "one too many infractions" and turned over the keys to his Cadillac convertible to his new girlfriend--and future wife--Sandy. He died owning the red Cadillac he had always wanted. When in New Orleans, he had season tickets to the New Orleans Saints, even in the awful "Aints" years, and never wavered in his loyalty. He remained a Saints fan until the day he died. Bob's wonderful contradictions made him one of a kind--generous but thrifty; stern but loving; fair but a dealmaker. His children's greatest fear growing up were the words, "I've got a good deal for you." It was typically followed by some lopsided bargain that no child could ever refuse. But Bob's greatest passion was his family, especially his love of more than half a century, Sandy. Most of all, Bob was loyal--to his family, to his friends, to his country. His was a life well-lived, and he was a man well- loved. His family and friends will miss him more than he could ever know. Funeral services will be at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors in several months. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob's memory to the Wounded Warrior Project, Inc., either online or by mail to P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas 66675.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Sandra Makin Eitel; their son, Robert Scott "Bob" Eitel of Alexandria, Virginia, and daughter, Pamela Jean Hatty of Las Vegas; daughter-in-law, Nan Roberts Eitel of Alexandria; son-in-law, Ross Hatty of Las Vegas; grandchildren, Makin James Eitel, Taylor Lawrence Hatty, Henry Robert Hatty, and Molly Rose Hatty; brother-in-law, John Holmes Makin, and his wife, Gwendolyn Van Paasschen, and their daughter, Jane, of Washington, D.C.; a sister, Dolores Eitel; and a nephew, Steven Maviglio. Bob was a larger than life character, adored by friends and family for his great sense of humor, hearty appetite, straight-laced ways, manifest generosity, unerring bluntness, and resolute character. Born in Newark, New Jersey, on September 17, 1930, Bob was the son of hardworking German immigrants, Josephine, a beautician, and Emil, a house painter who had arrived at Ellis Island from the German village of Hinterweidenthal in 1923. Bob grew up in a German working- class neighborhood in Irvington, New Jersey, where he befriended for life Frank Rothenberg and Frank's future wife, Shirley Tanenbaum. An exemplary athlete, Bob graduated from Irvington (N.J.) High School and attended Adelphi College in Garden City, New York, on a football scholarship, where he lettered in five sports-football, baseball, lacrosse, track, and squash. Bob graduated from Adelphi with a bachelor of science in physical education in 1953. He then played football for the Third Marine Division and was selected for the All Marine Football Team in 1954. He continued his passion for sports throughout his life, later mastering handball, tennis, and racquetball. Adelphi inducted Bob into its athletic hall of fame in 2006, when football legend Al Davis, who coached Bob while a line coach at Adelphi, described him as "the prototype lineman of his time." In an interview that year with the Prescott Valley (Az.) Tribune about his award, Bob explained that weight lifting before it was popular was the secret to his success. "While everyone else was doing push-ups and sit- ups I was lifting weights," he said. Bob entered the Platoon Leadership Corps while at Adelphi and received his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps in June 1953. After service in the infantry, Bob earned his "wings" as a naval aviator in 1957. A skilled and highly decorated helicopter pilot, Bob survived a crash landing of his carrier-based helicopter in the Caribbean Sea and volunteered for helicopter operations in Operation Blue Bat during the Lebanon crisis of 1958. Recognized for his flying skills, he piloted Marine One for Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy while stationed at HMX-1 in Quantico, Virginia, from 1959-63 and later served as the chief flight instructor at Pensacola NAS. After completing the Amphibious Warfare School in 1964, Bob served two tours in Vietnam (with MABS-16 in Da Nang in 1965 and MACV in Saigon from 1969-70). Bob flew 139 combat missions, including one during his second tour when his helicopter was shot down during operations along the Cambodian border. He was pursued under fire by North Vietnamese forces while he evaded capture for several days before being rescued. After returning home from Vietnam in 1970, Bob served as the assistant operations officer at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, California, and finally as a helicopter squadron commander at Santa Ana Marine Corps Air Station, California. Bob retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1973 to head the Marine Corps ROTC program at Jesuit High School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Consistent with his valor, Bob received numerous distinguished medals and commendations, including the Bronze Star, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Air Medal (with four stars), the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross, the Republic of Vietnam Medal of Honor (1st Class), the Presidential Service Badge, pistol and rifle expert badges, and numerous other decorations and citations. In 1975, Bob began a second successful career with Merrill Lynch in New Orleans, retiring in 1992 as a Vice President. Until almost the day he died, he loved studying investments and trading in the markets for his own accounts. Bob was an active member of the Rotary Club of the Westbank and was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation. Bob and Sandy later lived in Carriere, Mississippi, and Dewey, Arizona, before residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bob had a passion for Cadillacs, great fruit desserts (particularly those with whipped cream), gardening, and Siamese cats. In 1961, he lost his base driving privileges at Quantico for "one too many infractions" and turned over the keys to his Cadillac convertible to his new girlfriend--and future wife--Sandy. He died owning the red Cadillac he had always wanted. When in New Orleans, he had season tickets to the New Orleans Saints, even in the awful "Aints" years, and never wavered in his loyalty. He remained a Saints fan until the day he died. Bob's wonderful contradictions made him one of a kind--generous but thrifty; stern but loving; fair but a dealmaker. His children's greatest fear growing up were the words, "I've got a good deal for you." It was typically followed by some lopsided bargain that no child could ever refuse. But Bob's greatest passion was his family, especially his love of more than half a century, Sandy. Most of all, Bob was loyal--to his family, to his friends, to his country. His was a life well-lived, and he was a man well- loved. His family and friends will miss him more than he could ever know. Funeral services will be at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors in several months. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob's memory to the Wounded Warrior Project, Inc., either online or by mail to P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas 66675.

He was born August 19, 1930 in New York City and grew up at Boys Town, a home for orphaned boys in Brooklyn, New York. A Slidell resident for the last 8 years, Ed spent his childhood in New York but lived for years in New Orleans and overseas in the Dominican Republic and Panama. Ed attended St. Agnes High School and graduated from Western Maryland College in 1954 with a major in economics and a minor in physical education where he played football and baseball for the school. Upon graduation Ed attended the Infantry Officer Course and quickly rose up the ranks, serving as a commanding officer in Korea from 1957-1958. From 1959-1966 Ed was stationed at various posts including Ft. Benning, GA where he attended the Advanced Officer Course; as an assistant professor of Military Science in Roswell, NM; and as an instructor at the USA School of the Americas in Panama. In 1967 Ed served a tour of duty in Vietnam. From 1968-1971 Ed served as a Battalion Commander, Special Forces Commander and was a department head at the Military Assistance Institute. In 1971 Ed and his family were transferred to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic where he served as the Chief of the Military Army Advisory Group. Ed also started the national swimming program in the Dominican Republic by forming Los Caimanes Del Caribe; a swim club comprised of Dominican natives and children living in the Dominican Republic from countries as far away as Spain, Italy, Australia, and Canada. Los Caimanes flourished by growing very quickly and becoming a frequent winner in swim meets throughout the Caribbean and the United States. Ed mentored hundreds of youth who he pushed to excel and do their best. They continue to honor and thank him over thirty five years later. Several of those swimmers still compete and have held world swimming records. In 1995 Ed was formally thanked by the Dominican government and Olympic committee for his contributions to the country and to its youth. In 1977 after being transferred to New Orleans to serve as the Deputy Senior Army Advisor to the Louisiana National Guard, Ed formed the Hurricane Swim Club in Slidell. The Hurricanes became a dominant force on the Louisiana swimming scene and around the country. He continued training and mentoring his swimmers across multiple generations of families for over thirty six years. During his tenure, Ed helped countless swimmers get college swimming scholarships and tirelessly pushed them to reach their potential and do their best, with several becoming senior national qualifiers. Ed was named Louisiana Senior Coach of the year in 1982, 1989, 1991 and 1992 and Louisiana Age Group Coach of the Year in 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1996. Ed was also the coach of the Northshore High School swim team and led them to undefeated seasons and Division I State Championships. Because of his dedication to swimming and to youth, Ed was honored with many awards including proclamations from the cities of Picayune, Covington, Mandeville, and Slidell, each declaring a "Coach Ed Kelly Day". Ed was the beloved husband of Mary Lou Kelly for 57 years, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his children: Michael Kelly (wife Gaylyn), Kathleen Kelly, Shawn Kelly, Patrick Kelly (wife Kristina), and Colleen Kelly. He is also survived by 10 Kelly grandchildren: Garrett, Ian, Brennan, Grant; Carlos, Victoria, Christian, Alexander, Isabella, and Lacey Moneymaker. Very few people touch so many in such a profound way, and Ed was one of those people. His personality transcended gender, age, culture, and nationality. His core principles of work hard, do your best, do the right thing, be all you can be, bounce back in the face of adversity, changed and improved so many lives. One can only imagine the ripple effect on the individuals and families he touched and the generations that he changed. Ed was truly loved by so many people because he didn't just say those words, he lived them. A fighter till the very end. Visitation will occur at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Slidell located at 3924 Berkley Street on Saturday, July 27th, from 10:30am-1:00 pm. A Funeral Mass will immediately follow visitation.

Mr. LeBlanc was born on January 3, 1917, at his family home in Saint Gabriel, Louisiana. He was the only child of Jules Burton LeBlanc, Sr. and Jena Austerlitz DeSeay. He was from one of the oldest families in Louisiana, whose Acadian ancestors settled in Saint Gabriel about 1750. On his Mothers side of the family he was a direct descendent of Louis Charles Antoine DeSaix one of Napoleon's Generals, who died as a hero at the Battle of Marengo in Italy. At age 16, he was class valedictorian at Catholic High School, then graduated from Louisiana State University, where he was a member and President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He also played trumpet in the LSU Marching Band. He went on to do postgraduate work at Columbia University and the University of Colorado. He next attended both Tulane School of Law and Louisiana State University Law School, from which he graduated third in a class including Governor John McKeithen, US Senator Russell Long, US District Judge C. Gordon West and US Court of Appeals Judge Alvin B. Rubin. In 2012 he was honored by both the Louisiana and Baton Rouge Bar Association for 70 years of meritorious service in the legal profession. When World War II erupted, Mr. LeBlanc enlisted in the Navy and served in the South Atlantic and South Pacific with the rank of Lieutenant. He married the former Hazel Margaret ("Dear") Butcher in 1943.

He was also one of the original members of the Baton Rouge Assembly, the Baton Rouge Country Club and the City Club. On a personal note, he was a well-read intellectual with eclectic interests. He loved to read and read in many different languages. On his frequent travels, he enjoyed visiting libraries throughout the world. He also loved to swim, and did so almost daily. As a teenager he swam across the Mississippi River at St. Gabriel. He also enjoyed nature and long deep walks in the woods on his properties, and made sure to bring his grandchildren on yearly expeditions to Aspen, Colorado, to share his love of skiing. Additionally, he and his wife, "Dear" spent summers in Chatham on Cape Cod with a steady stream of family and friends. He designed and built his home in University Acres, where he and Hazel hosted parties for well known opera singers, conductors, writers and artists. The house was partially built form the ruins of an old sugar mill located on a LeBlanc-family plantation known as Margaret.

Schwartz, MD passed away June 21st, after a valiant and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was 51. She was an inspiration to all that knew her by how she lived her life. While cancer treatment can be an all-consuming, Mindy was discreet about it and let her actions and accomplishments define her, rather than the cancer. She knew every day was a gift and appreciated what she had, always having positive thoughts and words to share. She was born in Reno and grew up in a close-knit military family where she learned to make friends easily and quickly. At a young age, she decided to pursue medicine and went on to earn both her undergraduate and medical degrees from Tulane University in New Orleans. Mindy completed residency programs at the University of Pittsburgh in Neurology and at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in Child Neurology. She continued her academic development even as she honed her clinical skills, completing post-doctoral positions with a fellowship in Pediatric Epilepsy and a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy, all at the University of Pittsburgh. She was proud to return to Reno to open her private practice in 1997 and became a highly sought-after expert in her field. Mindy Schwartz's passion for helping others and her modesty defined who she was throughout her life. She was always willing to take time to help friends, family and patients, regardless of a holiday. She made people feel welcomed, invited and included. Her time at Tulane began her love affair with the City of New Orleans. She returned every year to reconnect with her college friends, the jazz festival, and enjoy all of the food New Orleans had to offer. It was her home away from home. Her time as a military brat gave her the skills to stay connected with all of her friends, regardless of distance or time. Her spirit and determination were unbridled in her pursuit of being physically fit. At 30 she completed her first marathon. She was always seeking new challenges through training and completing numerous Olympic distance triathlons, skiing, road biking (completed 4 passes in the Death Ride), golf, (hole-in-one on #5 of the Arrowcreek Legend Course) camping, hiking, and yoga. Physical fitness was a constant in her life. It also allowed her to eat! She had a great love of eating and cooking gourmet food and was always delighted to feed her friends and family. Mindy is survived by her partner, Marielle Moyer-Schwartz; mother Natalie, father Harold "Hal", Step-mother Marlene; brother Gary and step-sister Kelly O'Day.

She also leaves a boatload of friends and family who adored her. To her loving nieces and nephews she was known as Auntie Mame. Because Lillian delighted so much in the company of others, she made friends anywhere and everywhere she went. At a party, at the beauty parlor, at the doctors office, she was honey to the bee, holding court, making her companions laugh. Her joie de vivre is all the more amazing considering the tragedies she faced. Orphaned at 4 years old she grew up in the Jewish Children's Home. She and her dear husband Emanuel Simon Pulitzer lost their only son, Marshall, in a plane crash when he was just 20 years old. They hung together and raised a mentally disabled daughter at home, something that was not done back in those days. Lillian's shining achievement was never giving up on Susie and finding her a permanent home with a large extended family in Alabama where she lives in her own beautiful home surrounded by loving caretakers. Her daughter Carol attributes her own love of everything beautiful to her mother's exquisite tastes and talents including cooking, for Lillian was a world class cook. If she hadn't been so busy having a great time, Lillian could have opened a restaurant, a floral business, an interior design shop, or a clothing store, which she did, called The Uptowner. Lillian's way with people made her a terrific asset to her husband as he and his brother Sam built the Wembley Tie Company from the ground up to becoming the largest neckwear manufacturer in the world. Lillian's ready laugh and sense of humor, her embrace of life, and her kindness will be missed but remembered by so many. Our family and friends take comfort in knowing she is back in the arms of her loving husband and the son she adored.

Born in Paterson, New Jersey to Anna and John Steiner, Sr., he was the second of four boys: William (Potomac, MD), the late John, Jr. (Capitola, CA) and the late Edward (Saylorsburg, PA). Joe was a long-time resident of New Orleans and a parishioner of, and usher at, St. Dominic's Catholic Church who moved to Covington, post-Katrina. He was a long-time employee of Western Auto, working many years at the Arabi location before retiring. While serving in the 4169th Army Air Force Base Unit during WWII, he discovered that Southerners didn't have to shovel snow, so he made Dixie his home post-War. He met and married his beloved wife, Gloria Verriere Steiner, a native New Orleanian, whom he has now rejoined (where, no doubt, there is still no snow). They are survived by two daughters, Donna Steiner of Alice, TX, and Elisabeth "Lis" Steiner of Covington, La. Joe also leaves behind a son-in-law, Jerry O'Connor (Alice, TX); two brothers- and sisters-in-law, Leon and Margie Verriere (Covington) and Paul and Patti Verriere (San Rafael, CA); three grand-kitties, Wilbur, Ivan the Terrible Kitten and The Skinny Fat Cat (Covington); tons of nieces and nephews across the USA, including David Steiner and wife Judy (Houston, TX), who took in the homeless, post-K, dad-and-daughter-refugee-duo of Joe and Lis and welcomed them into their home. As President of Waste Management, Cousin David missed a golden opportunity by not hiring his Uncle Joe since Mr. Steiner was a self-described "Student of Garbage," as daughter, Lis, discovered after Hurricane Cindy when she was told that the four days worth of tree limb debris she had bagged for pick-up apparently had been done "all wrong."

Millie was born on August 1, 1940 in Biloxi, Mississippi and spent her formative years in New Orleans, the city that she loved. She graduated from St. Anthony of Padua Grammar School; she was an Honors graduate of St. Mary's Dominican High School, where she was Salutatorian of her beloved Class of 1958. Growing up in Mid City as the child of a widow, the sights, smells and sounds of her hometown dominated her life from beginning to end. She loved magnolias, cafe au lait, red beans, beignets, jazz bands, singing Fats Domino songs, streetcars, provided they were green and not red, and, most of all, Carnival, unless the riders were "stingy." She was not very fond of humidity, mosquitos or hurricanes. She often warned that if "anything happened to the levees, we would all be out of luck." As usual, she was correct. She was the quintessential New Orleanian. The phrase which accompanied Millie's Senior picture in the 1958 edition of Regina Rosarii described her as "devoted to duty." Truer words were never written. Her school's motto, Veritas, was not a catch phrase to her, but a manner in which she lived her life. Her Catholic faith was unwavering; she was an original parishioner of St. Ann Parish, she always carried a rosary, and she lived for her Sunday Mass and Communion. Her life was so rooted in faith that her occupation as an administrative assistant included extensive stints at St. Ann Church and Jesuit High School. Millie was honest, loyal, and generous to her Catholic faith; it defined her. Most importantly, Millie was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. Called "Millie Beth," "Mom," "Grammy," and "Ms. Millie," she led an extraordinarily exemplary life, touching the lives of many; she was a constant provider, car pool driver, cheerleader, tutor, friend, and hero. Every day of her adult life became a sacrifice to her children and grandchildren. Although sometimes less than effusive in her pride, her love for her children and grandchildren was unconditional and paramount. She set an example for us all based on one truism: Veritas. She will live eternally in the lives of those who knew her, and she is undoubtedly looking over us with her inimitable smile; her ringing "yoo hoo" will resonate in the St. Charles Avenue of our minds forever. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur Raymond Egan and Elise Josephine Zimmerman Egan. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Arthur Raymond Egan, Jr., and sisters Elise Egan Rednour and Mary Ann Egan Blanchard. Millie is survived by her five adoring children, Jude H. Trahant, Jr. (Jaime) of New Orleans, Louisiana, Jane Trahant Murphy of Metairie, Louisiana, Kevin M. Trahant (Debi) of Mandeville, Louisiana, Richard C. Trahant (Amy) of Metairie, Louisiana, and Susan Trahant Heusel (Neil) of Metairie, Louisiana. She is also survived by her fourteen grandchildren, who were the lights of her life. A celebration of her life will be held at St. Ann Church & National Shrine, 3601 Transcontinental Drive, Metairie, Louisiana 70006 on July 9, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:00 p.m. Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery following the Mass. Millie's family requests that you wear or bring some symbol of a thing or event which Millie treasured. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to St. Michael's Special School, 1522 Chippewa Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130.

Her beloved parents were Fred D. Carter from Cambridgeshire, England and Lottie May Edwards Carter from Bowling Green, Ohio. Louise was the youngest and last survivor of the 10 Carter children, 9 of whom lived into their nineties. She graduated from Stanford (Michigan) High School in 1936, completed training as a dental hygienist at the University of Michigan in 1938, and nearly 40 years later earned a bachelors degree in health education from Michigan State University. Louise married Richard Winfield Ryan in 1941 in Ann Arbor, Michigan and soon after, Richard enlisted in the Army. She lived with Richard's parents in New Orleans during the 1940s, returning to Michigan after the war. Louise and Richard had three children, Karen Louise Ryan Rice (David) of San Jose, California, Ruth Ellen Ryan (Ted Graham) of New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gregory Carter Ryan (Cindy) of St. John, Michigan. She worked as a dental hygienist for Dr. Harold Wirth in New Orleans, as a clinical instructor in dental hygiene at the University of Michigan, and at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Her second marriage was to Bert Webb, and they retired to Miami and Cocoa Beach, Florida. Louise was an expert seamstress, a good bridge player, money manager and genealogist, and a world traveler. She was an avid reader and active member of the American Association of University Women and the League of Women Voters. After listening carefully to the presidential debates, she mailed in her absentee ballot for Barack Obama in 2012. At the time of her death on July 26, 2013, she had been living for 9 years in her bayou-side condo in New Orleans where she is well remembered at the shops, athletic club and restaurants she frequented. Thanks to her own savings and advance planning, the expert care of mainstay caregiver Hope Valladares, the faithful assistance of Eileen Hotard and the late addition of Serenity Hospice services, Louise was able to die peacefully at her own home in her own bed at the age of 94.

Jack Weldon Williams was born to William Virgil Williams and Rebecca Floyd Sisk on November 1, 1923 in Reno (Azle), TX. He served for 38 months in the U.S. Navy during World War II; initially stationed in New Orleans, LA and then overseas in Okinawa. In 1946, after being honorably discharged, he married the first Love of His Life that he met in New Orleans: Gladys Agnes Berthelot. They moved to Houston TX to begin his distinguished 37 1/2 year career with Gulf Oil Corporation. From Houston, his advancement with Gulf took them briefly to Waco, TX, then on to Tulsa, OK and finally back to Houston. His true love affair with Gladys ended unexpectedly with her untimely passing in 1984 after almost 38 years of marriage. While many can only dream to meet one Love in a lifetime, Jack was again blessed when he became reacquainted with and married the second Love of His Life, Mary Kathryn (Jones) Clark - "Kathryn". Both in their late 60's, they married in 1990 at Hilltop, TX and their journey ultimately brought them to Woodcreek in 2003. Who could have imagined with such a "late" relationship that they would still be able to enjoy over 19 years of happiness together until Kathryn's passing in 2010. Jack was truly the eternal optimist, self-sacrificing for his wives and families, completely non-judgmental to all, and in his last years, even while struggling with health issues, was proud to be known by a new nickname, "Happy Jack." Jack is survived by his sister Maurine Reynolds of Azle, TX, his eldest son John Williams and his wife Lisa of Houston, his son Steven Williams of Austin, his daughter Kathryn Daniel and her husband Richard of Houston, his step-children: Linda Floyd and her husband Dick, Sherry Jones and her husband Jim, Rick Clark and his wife Marcia, his brother-in-laws: Frank Berthelot, Joe Berthelot and his wife Joyce, Robert (Bob) Berthelot and his wife Dee, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Jack was preceded in death by his wives: Gladys and Kathryn, his brothers: Bowman and Covie Williams. Over the last 5 years, an Angel in human form first began caring for Kathryn and Jack, and then ultimately Jack. Caregiver, Kathy Chesnut, ensured that Jack's quality of life was the absolute best it could be. The surviving family will be forever indebted to her for the care and love she gave Jack and think of her as our "sister". We know her grief for this loss is as great as ours. The family would also like to thank Kathy's daughter Carrie for her support, and another recent "helper," Roger, who entertained Jack as the "Cowboy" and "Indian." The family is thankful for the care provided in recent years by Dr. Eric Price and his staff and finally, for the very recent attention and care provided by the staff of Blue Bonnet Palliative Care of Wimberley.
