MARION LOUISE GUERRIERO WELBORN

Marion Louise "Manzie" Guerriero Welborn passed away at her home in Old 
Metairie on November 10, 2012. She was seventy-eight years old. The daughter 
of Joseph S. Guerriero and Marion Frances Dowling Guerriero, she grew up in 
Monroe, Louisiana where she attended Neville High School and was selected as 
The Best High School Actress in the State of Louisiana. She went on to be one 
of the very first female graduates of the Vanderbilt University Engineering 
School. She worked for many years as a civil engineer for the City of New 
Orleans and she designed many of the bridges that cross Bayou Saint John. 
While working as an engineer, she was the featured contestant on the 
television show "To Tell the Truth." In her spare time she wrote and recorded 
music. She was also a real estate agent and broker, an active member of the 
New Orleans Opera Guild, and an officer in the Ochsner Wives Club for many 
years. After raising her family, she returned to school and graduated from 
Loyola Law School in 1991. In her later years, when not playing cards with her 
friends, she could always be found as a fan in the stands at her 
grandchildren's sporting events. 

She is survived by her children, Marion Dowling Welborn Weinstock, Carol 
Louise "LuLu" Welborn Reisman, and Samuel Joseph "Joe" Welborn and nine 
grandchildren who affectionately referred to her as "Mam": Jake Weinstock, 
Nancy Weinstock, Frances Reisman, Howie Weinstock, Charlie Reisman, Kelly 
Weinstock, Caroline Welborn, Maddie Welborn, and Brooks Welborn. 

She is also survived by her brother, Joseph Dowling "Joe D" Guerriero of 
Monroe. 

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Service 
at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. on Saturday, 
November 17, 2012 at 12:00 noon. Visitation begins at 11:00 am. Interment will 
be private. For those preferring a donation in lieu of flowers, the family 
suggests donations be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America or the ALS Association.
