BETTY S. NOE

Betty S. Noe died at the age of 87 on Wednesday, June 18, 2014. She was born in 
Abbeville, Louisiana on December 22, 1926 to George and Elisa Hebert 
Schlesinger. She was one of five children. At a young age, Betty was enthralled 
by singing and opera, and she attended LSU School of Music. After a career in 
social work, Betty met her future husband, James "Jimmy" Noe, Jr. She and Jimmy 
were married in 1955, and settled in New Orleans where they were blessed with 
five children, Lisa Deane (Tenny), James Noe III, Erin May (Chet), George Noe 
(Elizabeth), and Claire Koch (Josh). Betty was extremely active in The New 
Orleans Opera Association, where she was a board member and president of The 
Women's Opera Guild of New Orleans. She was also a board member of the New 
Orleans Ballet Association, a member of the State Arts Council, the Louisiana 
State University Foundation, and was appointed by President Reagan to be on the 
advisory committee of the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts. She was a Knight of 
The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, and a recipient of The 
Order of St. Louis. While doing all of this, Betty always found the time to care 
for her beloved rose garden. Betty loved all things of beauty and delighted in 
the appreciation of others for these things. Above all, Betty loved to tell 
funny stories and make people laugh. She was preceded in death by her husband of 
fifty years, James A. Noe, Jr., and her three siblings, Nona, Marjorie, and Ed. 
She also leaves behind seven grandchildren, Claire, Ed, Laura, Anna Gray, Elisa, 
Mary and Margot, her younger sister, Barbara Broussard, as well as numerous 
nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be terribly missed.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at 
Good Shepherd (formerly St. Stephen), 1025 Napoleon Ave. in New Orleans, on 
Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 1:00PM. Interment will follow in Metairie Cemetery. A 
visitation will be held at the church beginning at 11:30AM. In lieu of flowers,

Orleans, LA 70113 or The New Orleans Opera Association, 616 Girod St., Ste. 200,
