April Leigh Eggerton, of Houston, died Thursday May 27, 2010, at Kindred 
Hospital in the Texas Medical Center following a courageous battle against liver 
disease.

She was the beloved wife of William Timothy Luers for the past 20 years; dearest 
daughter of Marian L. Eggerton and the late Robert E. Eggerton and precious 
sister of Robert E. "Chip" Eggerton Jr. and his life partner Eric Brauner. April 
was also the daughter-in-law of the late Jerri Roberts and granddaughter of the 
late Lt. Col. and Mrs. Earnest Luttrell and the late Mr. and Mrs. Bryan L. 
Eggerton. April is survived by a host of loving relatives and friends.

April was born in Midland, Texas, entered school in Durango, Colo., and finished 
her schooling in New Orleans after her father's business transferred him back to 
Louisiana. She attended Benjamin Franklin High, graduated from Kennedy High and 
received her B. A. from the University of New Orleans.

April entered the oil and gas industry in New Orleans, transferred to Houston 
and subsequently joined Seismic Exchange Inc., where she achieved success in a 
senior marketing position.

Although April loved her home and collected art and furniture for it, her true 
lovers were the various pets that she and Tim acquired over the years. Since 
childhood, there was a soft spot in April's heart for lost or abandoned furry 
creatures. She supported organizations that assisted in their rescue and care. 
This friendly, loving, caring spirit truly made our world a better place and we 
will miss her greatly.

A memorial service for April Eggerton will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at First 
United Methodist Church, 433 Erlanger St., Slidell. 

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity or your own 
church.
