Anne Deery Foret, of Covington, LA, died on November 23, 2015. 

Anne Foret, daughter of Charles Bear and Enid Russell Bear, loving wife of 
Irenee Joseph Foret, passed away in Covington, LA. She is survived by her 
husband of 66 years, Joe; one daughter, Margaret Anne Foret Laborde; and three 
sons, Robert Paul Foret, Charles James Foret and David Joseph Foret. She is also 
survived by 11 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren.,

Anne was born on February 29, 1924, in Baltimore, Maryland, and being an "Army 
Brat," spent her early years at various Army posts throughout the country. She 
was raised by her mother and step-father, Col. James Deery. In the early 
forties, she went to both Stephen's College in Missouri and the University of 
Texas at Austin. It was right after the war that she met the love of her life, 
Joe Foret, in Alexandria, LA, and they were married in New Orleans in April of 
1949. After living in Alexandria, LA, Lufkin,TX, Beaumont ,TX, Lake Charles, LA, 
and Overland Park, KS, they settled in Covington, LA, in 1967, where they spent 
the next 48 years.

Anne was a woman with a strong constitution, an engaging personality, and a 
quick wit, all of which resulted in her having a wide circle of friends. She was 
the backbone of her family, and a caring and selfless person who always put her 
family's well being and happiness ahead of any other consideration. 

While she will be truly missed, she will not be forgotten, as her legacy lives 
on.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to Tish and Geraldine, for their 
love, compassion, and respect they showed to Anne.

A private Memorial Mass will be held Friday, November 27, 2015, at E.J. Fielding 
Funeral Home in Covington.

Memorial donations may be made to Notre Dame Hospice, 1000 Howard Ave., 10th 
Floor, New Orleans, La.
