RAGAS-TRICHE, ROSEANNA
Roseanna "Rosie" Ragas-Triche, born June 16, 1947, a native of New Orleans 
and resident of Hammond, quietly passed away at 10:30 pm Thursday Oct 15, 
2009, in Lubbock, TX at age 62. She fought a courageous, decades-long 
battle with Hodgkin's disease, breast cancer and other serious illnesses. 
Rosie was a beautiful person who touched so many lives with her positive 
outlook on life. With her powerful inner soul she enjoyed life to the 
fullest, even when dealing with the illnesses that ravaged her. She loved 
to spend the holidays with family and friends who will miss her dearly.
Rosie graduated from Immaculata High School in New Orleans. She received 
her undergraduate degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond 
and a master's degree in education from Xavier University in New Orleans. 
She later earned her certification as an Early Interventionist in an effort 
to further advocate for those she loved so much, her babies. Rosie taught 
for many years at schools in Marrero and Hammond, Louisiana. She was 
especially gifted at teaching children with special needs and touched many 
little lives. After retiring from teaching for over 30 years Rosie spent 
the last few years of her life traveling with her beloved husband Neil and 
her faithful companion CoCo.  She was preceded in death by her devoted 
father, Louis Junior Ragas, her beloved "Auntie" Vera R. Buras, grand-
parents, several aunts and uncles and her nephew David Mistich. She is 
survived by her loving husband, Nilton "Neil" "Tiny" Triche; her cherished 
and beloved mother, Adelia Persich Ragas; brothers John L.Ragas and his 
wife Christine, and Timothy J. Ragas; sister Gay Louise Mistich and husband 
Wayne; Neil's sister Tammy Bryant and her husband John; her dearest friend 
and "sister", Dee Potasnik. As well as a host of nieces, nephews and family 
members whose lives will always be enriched by her memory.  "Although we 
walk this earth in search of the truth, a better place with those whom have 
gone before us await with open arms to welcome us home." In His holy name 
we pray. Amen. John and Christine Ragas.  A gathering will be held Tuesday 
at Harry Mckneely and Son Funeral Home 2000 N. Morrison Blvd. Hammond LA. 
70401 from 4:00p.m. until 8:00p.m. with a religious service at 7:00p.m.  An 
online guestbook is available at, www.harrymckneely.com.
