SATTERLEE

Kent Satterlee, Jr., age 79, surrounded by his family, peacefully went to be 
with his heavenly Father Saturday, March 5, 2011, after a courageous battle with 
heart disease. 

He was the beloved husband of Elizabeth Ann Smith of Texas City, Texas, for 53 
years. He was the father and father-in-law of Kent Satterlee III and Ann Lewis 
Satterlee, Cindy Satterlee Harlan and Dr. Michael Harlan, John Satterlee and 
Mary Salatich Satterlee, Stephen Satterlee and Anne Smith Satterlee, Mary 
Satterlee Andreeff and Dane Andreeff, Allison Satterlee Gough and Scott 
Satterlee. He was also the proud grandfather of Sarah, Blake and Ben Satterlee, 
Brittany, Kate and John Harlan, Ethan, Blakely and Alec Satterlee, Jane and 
Stephen Satterlee, Katherine Ann and Louise Andreeff, Elizabeth and Hannah Gough 
and Jacob and Rachel Satterlee.

A native of New Orleans, Kent Satterlee graduated from St. Matthias Elementary 
School in 1943, and Jesuit High School in 1948. While at Jesuit, he was in the 
Honor Society, a Blue Jay cheerleader, and a thespian. At the age of 16, he 
began Loyola University in the accelerated program where he earned a Bachelor of 
Arts in business and three semesters of law school. In October 1952, he was 
called to begin military service as a United States Army lieutenant at the 4th 
Army Headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. He was then assigned to the military 
police in Trieste, Italy, where he was a member of the peacekeeping task force. 
Upon his return, he earned his Juris Doctorate, graduating first in his class 
from Loyola Law School in 1956.

In 1957, he and Ann were married. Together, they have seven children and 17 
grandchildren. Mr. Satterlee was an attorney in good standing with both the 
American and Louisiana Bar Associations. He was a founding partner of Satterlee, 
Mestayer and Freeman Law Firm, where his main focus was real estate and 
succession law. He was a closing attorney for Fifth District Homestead for many 
years as well as the lead attorney in the development and construction of 
Poydras Plaza and the Hyatt Hotel in New Orleans. He was involved in several 
real estate development projects including residential subdivisions, commercial 
shopping centers, and professional office buildings.

He was preceded in death by his parents Kent St. Elmo Satterlee and Olga Helen 
Macheca Satterlee, and his two brothers, George Robert and Robert Joseph 
Satterlee.

He was a man who loved the law, loved his family and above all, loved the Lord. 
He will be greatly missed.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral service at 2 p.m. 
tomorrow in the Chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain 
Blvd. Metairie. Visitation will begin at noon until service time. Interment will 
follow in Metairie Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that 
donations be made to the American Heart Association, 110 Veterans Blvd., Suite 
160 Metairie, LA 70005, (504) 830-2300.
