HELEN GRACE PERRETZ SELIGMAN

Cox Funeral Home

Bastrop, LA

Helen Grace Perretz Seligman, a longtime member of the Bastrop community, died 
Friday morning at North Monroe Hospital after a brief illness. Mrs. Seligman 
was born in Shreveport on April 3, 1920. In 1942 she married Jacob S. Seligman 
of Bastrop, and she spent the rest of her life in Bastrop, a town she grew to 
love. Mr. Seligman, a well-known merchant and civic booster and a partner in 
Seligman's, Inc., died in 1994.

Mrs. Seligman "Honey Grace" to nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-
grandchildren was a housewife and a dedicated mother; a member and president 
of Coterie Study Club; a dog lover whose home was never without a barking pet; 
and a fierce fan of the Bastrop Rams, the New Orleans Saints, and the Atlanta 
Braves. She was an avid reader and a superb bridge player until macular 
degeneration put an end to those activities in recent years. Yet she remained 
optimistic and outgoing, a familiar and popular presence around town until a 
heart attack felled her last Sunday.

She is survived by her three children, Jeffrey S. Seligman of New Orleans, Kay 
Katz and her husband Stephen J Katz of Bastrop, and Craig Seligman and his 
partner Silvano Nova of Brooklyn, New York; three grandchildren, Dr. Stacey 
Sorkin and her husband Dr. Andrew Sorkin of Brookeville, Maryland, Laura Hunt 
and her husband Glenn Hunt of Monroe, and Keith Katz and his fiancée Jamie 
Talley of Brooklyn, New York; three great-grandchildren, Sadi Grace Hunt, 
Caleb Sorkin, and Abigail Sorkin; and her much loved dog, Nellie.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M. Sunday at Cox Funeral Home in 
Bastrop. The family will receive visitors at the home of Mrs. Seligman, 1506 
Gladney Drive, on Saturday afternoon between 4 and 6. In lieu of flowers, they 
request donations to three organizations she cared deeply about: Project 
Cope/Affiliated Blind of Louisiana, the Morehouse Humane Society or the 
Morehouse Parish Library.
