Cora was born on July 30, 1934 in Gilze, the Netherlands. In 1951 she was married to Frank M. Van der Stappen in Tilburg, together they raised six children. They were married for 51 years. Mom moved with her growing family to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1954. Mom very much enjoyed her friends and life in Western Canada. In 1962, the family once again moved to Ogden. Mom lived in South Ogden, Utah until 1997, when she retired to the New Orleans, LA area. Mom accomplished many great things in life; she survived the famous floods in Holland in 1953, and survived the destructive Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Not many people shared these two experiences and memories. Mom taught herself the English language and mastered self-education while rearing her six children. Mom was a creative, talented and capable woman, with many unique and wonderful abilities. Many people are the proud owners of a Cora-knit sweater. Mom could decorate on a shoe string but her generous hospitality and personality always shone through, if she liked you. Mom loved being a room mother to the kids at St. Joseph elementary and high school. Mom had many memories of special friends and experiences in the St. Joe community. Mom suffered a serious brain injury in 2001, but she continued to be an example of grace, courage and dignity throughout her life. Mom loved to sing, dance and laugh. She had better than average luck at the casinos and always enjoyed a trip to Wendover, Bay St. Louis or Mesquite. Mom lived our flower gardens and bird habitats, and especially the fell of sunshine on her skin. Some people may remember our mother with some hardness; but Cora always knew who she was and where she came from, and she carried that confidence and loyalty to her parents and siblings, especially her beloved brother Pete, and her best friend and sister An. Mother survived the loss of her father, who she loved very much, at the age of six. Opa Bezouw was a civilian casualty of World War II. Mom also lost her great friend and brother Pete van Bezouw, when she was 20; just before she immigrated to Canada. Mom missed Opa Bezouw and Ome Pete every day of her life without them, and it is our fondest hope and belief that they are together and looking out for us now. We have a lot of Mom and Cora stories to share with our friends and family. Some of you probably have some good ones, too. Cora, our Mom, was preceded in death by her parents; Johannes van Bezouw and Cornelia van Bezouw Groenendahl; her brother Pete van Bezouw, as well as many good friends including Genevieve and Charlie Duran. She was also preceded in death by her beloved granddaughter Lisa Bray. Mom is survived, loved and missed by her daughter, Francesca who has been her companion and care giver for most of the last five years; and her son Frank H. Van der Stappen, who has also been a loving companion and care giver. We will be eternally grateful to each other for this special time we shared with Mom. We will be eternally grateful to Cora for the joy and love, lessons learned and fun adventures of the Three Musketeers. Mom is also survived by Ramona Kieman and her family; Mom especially loved her recent visits with Rachel, Rebecca, Bailey, Alex, Rylee and Cassandra, who made special trips to see their Grandma Van. Mom also really loved and appreciated the love, visits, cards and letters from Grandson Brandon Van Der Stappen, granddaughter Donelle Van Der Stappen and their wonderful, loving children David, Bree, Brigham, Brek and Dawson. Mom is also survived by daughters Joanne Wharton and Susan Ambler, and son John Van Der Stappen, as well as their children. At Cora's request no public memorials or services will be held. Mom remembered her friends and family often with a smile, a story, a prayer. Please feel free to honor our mother in her own great style, with a kind though, story, smile or prayer. Mom will be buried at the Abbey of St. Joseph in Covington, LA near a majestic and ancient Oak tree, on of the "Seven Sisters," the oldest known Oak trees in the world. Mom and that grand tree have a lot in common. ======================== BARKSDALE, REV. EDWIN JOSEPH, JR. Picture (April 23, 1918 - March 12, 2006) ========== A photo is available for this file.

Her sister Betsy O'Brien told me I could make it long. Ann O'Brien is now playing with my dead dogs, cats, her grandparents, Carmen and Leandre Marechal and Mary and William O'Brien, her Uncle Rene Marechal, her dear friend Elliot Snellings, other family members, my parents, friends, and total strangers, because that was the kind of person she was and still is. Ann is survived by her wacky but loving husband, John Preble, and sons, Andrew and William Preble, of Abita Springs. She is also survived by her parents Alyce "the storyteller" and Charlie "God-Loves-You" O'Brien of Covington along with her sisters, Christine Lozes and her husband Bill and their children, Brian and Allison, of Covington, Betsy O'Brien of Washington D.C., brothers Michael O'Brien of Folsom and his children Wesley of New York and Chris of New Orleans, and David O'Brien and his wife Lillian and children Maegan and Sean, of Mandeville. She is further survived by her mother and father-in-law, Marie- Louise and Warren Preble, her brother-in law Warren Preble and his friend Lillian, Uncle Paul "Brother Elias" Marechal, and Uncles Willam and Edward O'Brien and their families. And oh-my-gosh so many friends, more friends than anyone I've ever known, at least two thousand six hundred and forty-nine of them, including myself, Francie Rich, and my husband John Hodge, and others who can't be listed because they didn't pay to have their names listed in this obituary. Ann O'Brien was born on a really poor sharecropper's farm in Oklahoma...skip that part, I'm saving that for my obituary. Ann graduated from St. Scholastica Academy in Covington and, as long-time SSA teacher Alyce O'Brien remembered her, she was a "pleasant child, with street smarts instead of book smarts." Oh, I'm sorry, she was referring to Cathy Deano, not Ann. Ann studied painting and got her BFA at LSU before becoming the famous jeweler she is today. She was a president of the Louisiana Crafts Council, a member of the Rhino Gallery in New Orleans, the Mississippi Craftsmen's Guild and a host of other organizations. Her work has appeared in national publications and has been exhibited in fine crafts shops around the country. As Ann perfected her craft she also perfected the craft of helping other artists sell their work. In addition to her own work and helping other artists, she has done extensive volunteer work with children. She also worked as an artist-in-residence in St. Tammany Parish schools and as a tutor at Mercy Family Center in Mandeville. She and her husband, John Preble, founded the UCM Museum in Abita Springs, where Ann loved leading the Push Mow Parade on her bicycle. She traveled with her grandparents to Europe as a child and made yearly visits to Uncle Paul at the Trappist monastery near Atlanta and to Navarre Beach, Florida. Ann didn't like to be alone and she never was and isn't now. Ann was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. She never liked going to doctors but ended up caring deeply for her doctors, Drs. Carinder, McCormick, Saux, Suarez, Groves, Seicshnaydre, Ehrensing, Bobrowski, and Torcson. Her hospital room was party central and the place to be. Ann's illness turned out to be an incredible gift to her family and friends. Her room was always full of laughter, love and joy. Personally I'm not one for large group gatherings, but I loved going to see her in the hospital and at her parents' house, where her mother would tell fabulous stories and I met old and new, all wonderful people who have enriched my life. Whenever Ann called she would say, "Hi, this is Ann O'Brien," as if her thin shaky voice and caller ID didn't give her away. She didn't like change, so dying is a major step for her. She laughed easily, could talk about anything to anyone and her only fault was that she never talked ugly about anyone. She is the epitome of a gentle soul even when she got mad at John Preble, which to know him is to get mad at him. She was kind and generous and we are still expecting great things from her. Ann treasured the trees on her property in Abita Springs. She would often give us plants and trees and office supplies for Christmas gifts. Hurricane Katrina took most of her trees in Abita. Maybe she went to be with them. Many of us will think of Ann when we see camellias, azaleas, and trees. One consolation of dying young is having a large funeral, and anyone who could figure out a way to sell tickets to Ann's would be set up for life. John Hodge had a dream at the moment Ann died. Ann was driving a truck in Mexico then riding a bicycle with flowing skirts. He kept thinking, "doesn't anyone know she is sick?" She fell off her bicycle and everyone "tackled" her with love. When it's your turn to go, be sure to look for Ann if she's not already at the entrance waiting for you. My only regret is that Ann didn't have a goofy nickname. Please feel free to send flowers, plants, or trees, or send donations in Ann's memory to the Leonard C. Thomas Hematology and Oncology Specialists Foundation, 339 Starburst Circle, Covington, LA 70433, (985) 892-9090. Relatives, friends and total strangers are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 20307 Smith Road, Covington, LA 70435, at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 3, 2006. E.J.

He also asked that we do not have services but rather sit down and have a cocktail in memory of him and reminisce of the "good-ole' days". "CAPTAIN O Captain my Captain our fearful trip is done. The ship has weathered every rack; the prize we sought is won. The port is near, the bells I hear, fellow mates exulting. While eager eyes steady the keel, the vessel grim and daring. Where on the deck has my Captain gone? Like a lighthouse along the shore, Sending gleams across the waves. My poor fainting struggling seaman, I try to rescue and save Dark is the night, as the angry billows roar. Eager eyes watching, longing for the lights along the shore. Trim your feeble lamp my brother Some poor sailor tempest tossed, trying now to make the harbor In the darkness he may be lost. O Captain my Captain rise up and hear the bells. Rise up- for you the flag is hung, For you the bugle trills, For you bouquets of ribboned wreaths, For you the shores crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning. My Captain answers not for his lips has fallen still. The ship is anchored safe and sound, It's voyage closed and done. From fearful trip, The victor ship comes in with object won. Exulted shores and bells that toll. But I, with mournful tread walk the deck my Captain once strolled". E.J. Fielding Funeral Home Inc., 2260 W. 21st.
