Marguerite Lucille Fry of Covington, formerly of New Orleans and Washington 
D.C., passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on January 1, 2014 at the 
age of 91.

Marguerite was born in New Orleans, LA on August 26, 1922 to the late Thomas 
Curlen Fry and Lucille Braud Fry.

She was preceded in death by her siblings - Thomas Fry (Helen and Kieko), John 
R. Fry (Jane) and Virginia Fry Meyers (Bill); her niece - Cynthia Meyers 
Bamber; nephew-in-law - Gary Verzwyvelt and great-niece - Camille Anise Fry. 

Marguerite was the beloved sister of Ernest Michael Fry (Stephanie) and the 
beloved aunt of Susan Meyers Skates (Phillip), Karen Meyers, John R. Fry, Jr. 
(Ann), Thomas R. Fry (Lyn), Christopher M. Fry (Cheri’), Jane ”Puddy” Fry 
Robinson (Jim), and Annie Fry Verzwyvelt. She is also survived by many loving 
great-nieces and nephews - Tyler Skates; Trey, Sydney, Jillien, Kacie, Tommy, 
Maggie, Cecile Fry; James, Sarah, Helen, Hope Robinson; John Paul and Eric 
Verzwyvelt; and Kate and David Messer.

After Marguerite graduated from Dominican College in New Orleans, LA, she began 
her teaching career, which she loved, at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart 
in Bethesda, MD. 
She then changed careers to an administrative assistant on Capitol Hill, 
including but not limited to Senator Hale Boggs, the State Department, the 
White House under Ronald Reagan, and finally serving the US Ambassador to 
Switzerland for numerous years. 
After retirement, she enjoyed many years working as a volunteer at the National 
Gallery of Art in Washington, DC in between her many travels abroad. 
Family, friends and faith were the foundation of her life. As a lifelong Roman 
Catholic, she practiced her faith daily, giving her the confidence to adapt to 
every challenge and change, never letting the unknown stop her. 
She met every new situation as an opportunity to build new friendships. She was 
a long-time member of the Children of Mary Sodality and Alumni of the Sacred 
Heart.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a funeral mass at 2:00 PM on 
Thursday, January 2, 2014 at St. Joseph Abbey, 75376 River Rd. St. Benedict, LA 
70457.

Interment at St. Joseph Abbey Cemetery will immediately follow mass.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Marguerite’s 
name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
