Adele Augusta Babin Digby passed away on Sunday, November 9, 2014 in 
Mandeville, LA.

She was born August 1, 1922 (age 92) in Tulsa, OK to the late Augusta 
Lauterbach Babin and Thomas Joseph Babin. 

Beloved wife of 70 years to the late James “Harold” Digby, Sr.

LA, Sean and Allen Digby of Ft. Meyers, FL and Sable A.D. Lambert of 
Madisonville, LA. Great-grandmother of Logan Perret, Hailee and Jenna Pellegrin 
and Zander Cole Lambert and a host of nieces and nephews.

Mrs. Digby was a lifelong resident of the New Orleans area, and of Beau Chene

of Metairie Assisted Living.

Mrs. Digby supported her husband and country stateside during World War II and 
where they both later volunteered at the WW II Museum.

The family wishes to thank the staff, nurses and care partners of Beau Provence 
Assisted Living of Mandeville for their professional expertise, compassion and 
respect for the grace and dignity they bestowed upon our mother/grandmother for 
which she so richly deserved in her time of special needs. We would also like 
to thank Lakeshore Hospice for their care and concern and attention in her
