000008 ADEN Iona Mae Heuer Aden, 91 years young, of New Orleans went to be with her Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ on Saturday, January 12, 2013 following a brief illness. Iona Mae was preceded in death
by her parents, Marie Clearly Heuer and Frank Edward Heuer. She is survived by her loving, faithful
and devoted husband of nearly 70 years, Ervin Aden (Captain, U.S. Army, retired). She is also survived
by her two loving daughters, Bonnie Aden Brooks (husband J. Dodd Brooks) of Clinton, Mississippi; and
Louellen Aden Berger (husband Darryl Berger) of New Orleans. Also survived by her seven wonderful
grandchildren--Lori Brooks Poole of Roanoke, Va.; Lyndi Brooks Anagnostis of Dallas, Tx.; Leslie

siblings--Frank Heuer, Edward Heuer, Florence Heuer Horst, and Gloria Heuer Vinson. Also survived by
numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, friends and admirers. A native and lifelong
resident and devotee of New Orleans, Iona Mae was raised in the Gentilly area by a close and loving
family. She graduated from John McDonogh Girls High School, and attended Loyola College of Music on a
music scholarship. A remarkably talented singer, she studied for six years under the former Dean of
Loyola School of Music, Madam Eva Grippon, and was invited to sing with the New York Metropolitan
Opera. Among other things, she performed with the New Orleans Opera, and was the lead soloist for the
Gentilly Presbyterian Church for over 50 years. Iona Mae Heuer Aden epitomized the Greatest
Generation. Her promising singing career was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. Determined
to do her part to support the war effort, she worked as a senior level administrator, with top FBI
clearance, for the heads of the Naval Air Station on the Lakefront, and for Consolidated Vultee
Aircraft. She also sang at numerous USO shows. During the early stages of the War, she met her future
husband, Lieutenant Ervin Aden, who was stationed briefly in New Orleans. It was love at first sight,
and they married on May 22, 1943. Ervin shipped off to Europe, landed on Utah Beach on D-Day and was
later severely wounded in heroic action. He returned to the U.S. to be nursed back to health by his
devoted wife, and together they raised a beautiful and loving family and continued their lifelong love
affair that lasted for nearly 70 years. Iona Mae lived a beautiful, spiritual and exemplary life. She
passed away surrounded by her husband, children, pastor and other loved ones, and went singing into
the arms of the Lord. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to the visitation and funeral

for many years. He was generous and gracious to all leaving good memories of his love of our travel
down many adventurous paths with traveling buddies. His loss will be shared and remembered by many
loyal friends who supported him on his long and difficult journey. He was a compassionate and generous
humanitarian, honorary member of many animal charities known for the love of his dogs. 'Saul had the
ability to view life and the events in life with a unique rational perspective, always followed with
'Saul' humor…with a contagious laugh that you couldn't help but laugh along. Saul was often labeled as
antisocial. I remember Mom using 'Saul' as an adjective. If I don't want to attend a social event, I
was pulling a 'Saul'. The fact is Saul was simply unpretentious. Crowds were just not his thing. One
on one with anyone in the room, and he was engaging. All together, not interested. Oddly, this may be
one of Saul's characteristics that I found interesting. Maybe Mom was right. I'm not sure if we will
be gathering to remember Saul, so I wanted to share a few thoughts. Ron' The family would like to
offer special thanks Hospice Compasus and Fr. Frank Giroir of St. Anselm Catholic Church,
Madisonville, LA. A celebration of Saul's life will be held at a later date. E.J. Fielding Funeral

000452 GORDON John A. 'Jack' Gordon passed away Wednesday, January 16 at his home in New Orleans. Jack
was born in 1926 in Chicago. He grew up in Chicago and Waterbury, CT before his family moved to New
Orleans in 1941. Jack never left. Jack attended Jesuit High School, and graduated from Tulane Law
School. He served in the Navy during World War II and as a result he was made a member of the
Louisiana State Bar without ever having to take the bar exam, a fact he proudly and carefully
explained to all new lawyers in the law firm. Jack began his legal career in 1951. He joined the firm
of Doyle, Smith and Doyle in 1954, where he became a partner with his close friend Blake Arata,
specializing in oil and gas and energy law. On February 1, 1970, Jack, Blake Arata and John McCollam
formed a new law firm, Gordon, Arata & McCollam. That firm, which still bears their name, now has 60
lawyers in 4 offices in Louisiana and Texas. Jack practiced law continuously for 62 years. Jack's
civic involvement included serving as General Counsel to the Sewerage & Water Board and President of
the Audubon Commission. Jack was an accomplished sailor and a regular figure in the regattas at the
Bay-Waveland Yacht Club, where he met his wife, Betty Anne Lapeyre. They kept a summer home there for
over 25 years. Jack always loved the outdoors and the Fall always found him duck hunting in the
Louisiana marshes. Jack also developed a keen interest in his golf game, where he might have been less
successful than in his sailing or hunting. Jack was a world class raconteur. His stories are
legendary, and sometimes true. He took a great interest in the young people in his law firm, where he
is revered as a leader, mentor and friend. Jack had a regular table at Galatoire's, where he stood
watch for over 50 years. His friends plan to meet there Friday for one more in a long line of
celebrations. He was a member of the New Orleans Country Club, Southern Yacht Club, Rex, Pickwick Club
and the Stratford Club. In addition to his wife, Jack is survived by his daughter Betsy, son John Jr.,
brother Carroll and his wife, Evie Gordon of Bay Saint Louis, and his sister, Kay and Joe Hansen of
Knoxville, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and innumerable friends, including his best four-

000454 GORMAN Richard 'Ricky' Gorman passed away on January 9, 2013 at the age of 44 years. Survivors
include his former wife, Tissie Saxon Gorman; two sons, Brugge Gorman, age 22 years and Christopher
Dillon B. Gorman, age 16 years; parents, David and Sandra Lowrey Gorman; brother, James P.B. Gorman
(wife, Angela); nephews, Cole Carona Gorman and Finn David Gorman as well as many loving relatives and
friends. His loving father said, 'I have nothing but good memories, even the times when I was angry
with him. He was all wool and a yard wide. It doesn't get any better than that.' Richard Gorman was
born in Fargo, N.D., where his father was stationed while in the U.S. Air Force. The family moved to
the New Orleans area in 1972 when David Gorman began working for the local office of the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration. Richard Gorman graduated from River Oaks Academy in Belle Chasse in 1987.
He went to work as a deputy with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office for 12 years. Richard
eventually returned to the New Orleans area and began working with his brother, James Gorman, an
artist who specializes in ironwork. According to his brother, 'He was a great carpenter'. David Gorman
smiled and added, 'If he built it, it was here to stay.' Richard Gorman was his mother, Sandra's, best
friend, family members said. He would do absolutely anything for her. And when she asked, he didn't
stop until the task had been completed. David Gorman called him a Jack of all trades who had managed
to master quite a few of them. David Gorman said his son was shy, but the few people he counted as his
friends were true blue. 'Ricky's had a really, really good life,' his father said. 'He just was an all
around great son, good friend and a hard worker.' Richard Gorman also notched pack leader onto his
resume. He formed a family with his four dogs: Lexie, Taz, Star, and Boots. 'He loved those dogs with
all of his heart,' David Gorman said. As relatives recalled memories of Richard Gorman, Lexie sat
cross-pawed in a dining room chair. The 4-year-old German Shepard looked melancholy as she
occasionally glanced towards the window. David Gorman explained, 'That's the chair she always sits in
to wait for Ricky to get home.' Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at MOTHE
FUNERAL HOME, 2100 Westbank Expy., Harvey, LA on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 from 9 AM to 1:30 PM.

fisherman, chef, musician and storyteller died in his home on December 29, 2012, surrounded by his
family. Dwain was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and spent much of his childhood in West Fargo,
ND. He married Diane Schlautman on April 26, 1969. After starting their family in Papillion, Nebraska,
they moved to Metairie, Louisiana in 1975. Dwain quickly fell in love with the area, spending much of
his free time fishing, trawling, and catching crabs & crawfish with his children. A longtime musician,
Dwain's guitar came with him everywhere, and he loved to entertain anyone and everyone, often
accompanied by his son, John, and daughter-in-law, Sharon. Along with performing, his other favorite
activity was cooking. He never had a recipe for anything and continuously amazed people with his
various concoctions of jambalaya and his famous blackened fish. His annual cross-country travels were
done in his van with his guitar, harmonica, amplifier, cast iron pans, spices, and propane burner in
tow. Dwain was preceded in death by his mother, Estelle Keller, who moved from the northland in 1977
to join her son and grandchildren in Metairie, LA; father, Elred, and stepfather, Charles Keller. He
is survived by his wife of 43 years, Diane (Schlautman); children, Allen (Sherri), Julie (John
Bellehumeur), Lori (Jud Dinsmore), John (Sharon) and Christine; grandchildren Andrew, Maggie and Noah;
beloved Grotte relatives; beloved Schlautman in-laws; and many other friends and family. Dwain held an
exciting variety of jobs - physics graduate researcher, computer programmer, university professor, and
disaster relief coordinator were just a few. These jobs combined with his extreme range of hobbies,
resulted in a very full life shared with many loved ones across the country. Having prepared countless
delicious feasts for family, friends and even complete strangers, Dwain lived by the motto 'Love
people - cook them tasty food.' A visitation starting at noon on December 31, 2012 will be followed by
a 3 p.m. service and reception at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church (5800 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, LA

He was born in New Orleans, LA on November 26, 1921, to the late Alfred Louis Lambert and Mary Louise
Meyer Lambert of New Orleans. He was preceded in death by his brothers Julius P. and Milton E.
Lambert, his sister Dorothy G. Blood and his daughter, the late Jean Mary Lambert Hyver. He is
survived by his wife, Linnie 'Lynn' Chandler Lambert, and his children, Alfred Louis Lambert, Jr., and

Jr., Ched Louis Lambert, Tiffany Alexandra May-Lambert Fontana, and William Thomas Lambert; 5 great
grandchildren, Victoria Michelle Cambise, Drake Austin Lambert, Chance Avery Lambert, Dior Alexandra
Lambert, and Benjamin Walker Fontana; nieces and a nephew. After growing up in Metairie, Al lived in
Harahan for 36 years, and then became a resident of Metairie where he lived for 21 years. Shortly
after he was born, Al was diagnosed with polio, which he used not as an excuse but as a motivation to
accomplish many things. One of these was his contribution at Higgins Shipyard during WWII. The polio
was able to keep him from combat, but was not able to keep him from aiding in the war effort. Al
started in the automobile business with Car Sales Inc. - Canal Street and Claiborne Ave. The business
moved to Metairie Road where he was Founder/CEO of Metairie Rambler. This evolved into Lambert's
Datsun and was renamed Lambert's in Metairie - with the addition of Checker Cab and International
automobile franchises. Lambert's in Metairie was nationally recognized as one of the top ten Datsun
Dealerships in the nation. In 1984 he founded Lambert's Chevrolet in Laplace where he later retired in
1986. In addition to his expertise in the automobile business, he was also skilled in construction,
which led him to form A. L. Lambert Custom Homes in the late 1980's. He remained active in real estate
projects until shortly before his death. Al had many passions, but his greatest was golfing. He was a
past member of Colonial and Chateau Country Club. He played in numerous golf tournaments around the
country as well as Scotland. His most exciting moment was the tournament at Edgewood Country Club in
Lake Tahoe for Caesars Palace/Paul Hornung where he hit a hold in one on the 180 yard 12th hole. For
that accomplishment, he won a 23 foot Bayliner Boat - the biggest thrill of his golfing ventures. Al
was also an excellent chef. He and his wife Lynn loved to throw dinner parties at their homes in
Harahan and Metairie, as well as their weekend home on the Tchefuncte River. During his numerous trips
to Las Vegas, he would often be found in the kitchens of the Flamingo and Desert Inn Hotel and Casino
preparing traditional New Orleans style seafood dishes for his friends. His love for cooking led him
to open the Seafood Platter and Steakhouse in Slidell. Al and Lynn traveled the world experiencing all
that life had to offer. He was also a benefactor of Children's Hospital feeling very indebted for his
care as a child at Crippled Children's Hospital. He was a great lover of animals - especially his
beloved Trina - the true light of his eyes. He was a past member of the Rotary club of Harahan and
facilitated the acquisition of the first ambulance for the City of Harahan. He was an extremely
generous man that will be sadly missed by his family, friends, and business associates - all that knew
him. He is described by many as 'One in a Million' and 'they broke the mold when he was made'. Eternal
gratitude goes to Dora Brown, Patrice Charles, and Jamilla Mayorge for their love and care over the
past few years, and most recently his home health nurse, Angie Gross. There will be a private Funeral
Mass followed by his interment at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to Children's Hospital or SPCA. To view and sign the family guestbook,

000699 LANDRY ALBERTINE FARRELL LANDRY passed away peacefully on Monday, January 14, 2013, at age 89
years old. Born March 3, 1923. She was married for 69 years to her husband, Frank Edward Landry, who
died this past September. Mother of 3 daughters: Irene Schulz (husband, Jim Hamsa) of Poplarville,
Judy Milnar (husband, Mark) of New Orleans and Patricia Oman (husband, Bruce) of Mandeville.
Grandmother of Eric Schulz (wife, Maria) of Allen, TX and Brenton Schulz (wife, Anita) of Mandeville.
Great-grandmother of Greyson, Finley and Braylynn Schulz. Survived by sister-in-law, Iris Farrell,
along with many cousins, nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents, John and Nellie Farrell;
brothers, John and Robert Farrell; and sister, Margaret Raschke. She was born in New Orleans, known as
'Sister,' in the old Burgundy Street neighborhood, then later, was a resident in the Gentilly and
Lakeview areas of the city. Albertine cherished her lasting friendships with dearly loved Marie
Talluto and Josephine Koch for over 70 years. Since the Gentilly days, Bebe Maestri has remained a
beloved family friend. Albertine Isabella attended Sts. Peter and Paul Elementary and Francis T.
Nichols High School. While Frank served in the Navy during WWII, Albertine assisted in the war effort
by completing Nurse's Aid training under the American Red Cross for the U.S. War Department, serving
as a volunteer in Army and civilian hospitals. In her younger years, she worked at Bennett Photography
Studio in the Central Business District and D.H. Holmes on Canal Street. Albertine was a fervent
homemaker and was always involved in the numerous activities and educational endeavors that Frank
could think of for their growing girls. For over 30 years, 'Al' was an active member of the Sisters of
St. Joseph People Program, Lakeview Shepherd Center, Metairie Chapter of AARP, St. Francis Cabrini and
St. Dominic Churches, and had a particular devotion to attending St. Jude Novenas. She stayed busy in
her empty-nest years enjoying travel adventures around Europe and the U.S. with her dear friend,
Jeanne Rowan. Albertine enjoyed round dancing, in costume, with several Lakeview troupes, entertaining
school children, seniors, the disabled and a variety of community groups. She was especially fond of
Irish singers, reading fiction, stage shows, casino slots, afternoon matinees, redeeming coupons while
bargain hunting, and her sacrosanct Saturdays at the beauty parlor. After Katrina, Albertine and Frank
relocated to Dallas, then Madisonville, but she always missed Lakeview. Since 2011, she resided in an
assisted living home with her husband. The family gratefully recognizes the attentive staff of
Emeritus of Mandeville for improving the quality of living for our mother during the last years of her
life. Thank you to Dr. Charles Balette of Covington for seven years of remarkable care. An exceptional
tribute is given to the amazing angels of Lakeshore Hospice for their talented nursing skills and
compassionate concern all during the long months when both the Landrys were under their care at the
same time. After knowing each other for over 80 years since childhood, our parents left this earth
within four months of one another. With their physical suffering finally over, Albertine and Frank can
now peacefully rest, in a renewed spirit in God's embrace. Family and friends are invited to the
visitation on Friday, January 18, 2013 at 12:00 noon, followed by a Christian funeral service at 1:00

000779 MARY Myrtle Franichevich Mary entered eternal rest on January 12, 2013. She was born on
September 3, 1914 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the daughter of Margaret Barbara Fleckinger and
restaurateur, Matthew Anthony Franichevich. She grew up in New Orleans with her sisters, Marian, Mae
Belle and Melvina and graduated from McDonough High School. Myrtle married Dr. Charles Callan Mary on
St. Joseph's Day, March 19, 1934, and they had two children, Charles, Jr. and Charlene. Throughout the
years, she was active in Catholic lay affairs at the Churches of Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Patrick, St.
Stephen and St. John the Baptist, as well as a dedicated supporter in the establishment of De La Salle
High School. Myrtle also was a steadfast fundraiser for the Times-Picayune Doll and Toy Fund. In
addition to her family, Myrtle's passions included music, theater, design and Carnival. She was a
charter member and later Captain for many years of the Krewe of Niobeans, an all female Carnival
organization established in the 1940's. As an accomplished, self-taught seamstress, she was renowned
for custom designing all of Niobeans' detailed costumes, and Myrtle created her own studio on the
third floor of her home where she routinely worked year-round with teams to craft legendary creations.
Additionally, behind the scenes, Myrtle was the driving creative and artistic force of the Knights of
Babylon Parade and Bal Masque for almost 50 years. With her husband Dr. Mary, a founding Babylon
member and longtime Captain, Myrtle worked tirelessly on theme development and they traveled to New
York City annually for costumes, props and inspiration, and once even to the Far East. The depth of
her research, knowledge, planning and execution was unrivaled. A strict Carnival traditionalist,
Myrtle continued on for many years providing support and guidance to successive Captains of Babylon
and those of other Carnival organizations. In a fitting tribute to her contributions, Myrtle was
honored to reign as Queen of the Lambeth House Carnival presentation in 2012. While Myrtle was also
known as a great hostess, impeccable dresser, master of etiquette and protocol and a collector of fine
antiques, she was affectionately 'Mimi' to her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great
grandchildren. With love, quick wit and sound advice, she relished her later years as matriarch of the
family. Until the time of her death at 98 years old, her mind was as sharp as ever and she departed
this life with her family and friends by her side. Myrtle was preceded in death by her parents, her
sisters and her husband, to whom she was married for 54 loving and fulfilling years. Myrtle is
survived by her two children, Charles Callan Mary, Jr., M.D. (Lynn) and Charlene Mary Sinclair; ten
grandchildren: Charles Callan Mary, III, M.D. (Kelly), Brandon Edward Mary, Charlotte Mary Zink (Ben),
Cameron Matthew Mary (Randi), Mignonne Mary Hammel, M.D. (Doug), Daniel Stirling Sinclair, Jr., Callan
Edward Sinclair, Diane Sinclair Smith, M.D. (Randy), Cayman Charles Sinclair and Carra Adelea
Sinclair; twenty-four great grandchildren: Charles Callan Mary, IV, Campbell Wayne Mary, Madison
Alexander Mary, Amelia Rive Mary, Alexandra Sofia Mary, Mila Schon Mary, Delainey DeRenville Mary,
Avery Evelyn Zink, Callan Harold Zink, Cameron Matthew Mary, Jr., Hadley Elizabeth Mary, Lynn Mary
Hammel, Eleanore Reese Hammel, Charlotte Johanna Hammel, Daniel Stirling Sinclair III, Matthew Brenton
Sinclair, Meghan Elise Sinclair, Cailla Renee Sinclair, Joshua Adams Sinclair, Caden Edward Sinclair,
Nathaniel Stirling Wallace, Margaret Sinclair Smith, Charles Cole Sinclair, Caylan Daniel Sinclair;
and three great-great grandchildren: Strauss Murray Sinclair, Maya Parker Sinclair and Hendrix Lewis
Carpenter. Myrtle was a devoted child, sister, wife, mother and friend, and a faithful Catholic. Those
who knew her were better for it, and our tears now are for ourselves. While she will be missed deeply,
Myrtle will be ever present in the lives she created, nurtured, comforted and touched. We smile
knowing Myrtle's soul rests forever peacefully with God and the souls of the faithfully departed,
especially her beloved Charles. Family and friends are invited to attend the Visitation and Funeral
Mass. Visitation will be at Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home, 3827 Canal St. New Orleans on Wednesday

000780 MATTHEW Irene Frances (Bowker) Matthew was born April 9, 1917, in Lansdowne PA, to Irene
Frances (Rementer) Bowker and Edwin Bowker. As a road construction foreman, Edwin was staying in the
boarding house run by his future mother-in- law when he won the elder Irene's heart. Their only child
was born at home with her grandmother and Aunt Lillian in attendance. Young Irene's father's job
required frequent moves. She spent parts of her childhood in Baton Rouge, in Cuba, and in Valencia,
Spain, where she finished her primary education. During the Spanish Civil War, non-nationals were
expelled and forced to abandon the money they had placed in Spanish banks. Irene and her family then
returned to the U.S. and lived in her great-uncle's house in Massachusetts. After a while her father
landed a job in Lee, MA (in the Berkshires); Irene enjoyed playing basketball and ice skating; she
graduated from high school there. Before she graduated from Mount Holyoke College (MA) in 1939, her
parents had moved to New Orleans. Armed with her degree in Humanities and Romance Languages, Irene
joined her parents in Louisiana and went to secretarial school. After that graduation, she secured a
job at New Orleans Public Service in their secretary pool; she quickly became Executive Secretary to
the President, A. B. Patterson. During this climb to one of the higher rungs of the ladder available
to the women of her day, she met her future husband, Frederick Charles Matthew, in Church; and, after
a long courtship, he won her heart. They married in June, 1944, just before Fred's military orders
sent him to Europe. He served in the Mechanized Cavalry Reconnaissance Division, where he arranged the
surrender of an SS fragmented division in the Austrian Alps. After Fred's return from Europe and a
period of recovery from his internal injuries and undiagnosed PTSD, he and Irene built their home,
which stands today, in Metairie on juxtapositional lots they had bought before being wed. They were
featured on the front page of the local newspapers for building a levee around their home, saving it
from the flood of 1947. She remembered seeing something move on the bathroom floor. When her glasses
were on, she saw it was a water moccasin; which was quickly dispatched by Fred. Irene left her
position with NOPSI to concentrate on rearing two children, as she continued to help her husband as
his bookkeeper and secretary for their manufacturing and distribution business. Once the children were
in high school, her husband hired a bookkeeper so that Irene was free to received her credentials in
Library Science. She spent most of her employment years with Jefferson Parish as manager of the
Harahan Library. She was a krewe member of Iris for many years, also a member of Stonecroft
Ministries, a non-denominational, non-profit Christian organization providing global leadership in
women's ministry. Its mission is to 'equip and encourage women to impact their communities with the
Gospel of Jesus Christ where her daughter-in-law for a time was president. She served as an officer
with the American Association of University Women and the Jefferson Parish Historical Society. She was
a Board Member along with her two children for the Jefferson Parish Museum, founded by her husband in
1970 becoming after his death a non-profit corporation with her son as Curator. Irene is predeceased
by her parents and her husband. She is survived by her children, Frederick Edwin (Christine Pettus)
and Charlotte Lillian (Timothy Parker) and five grandchildren: Kimberly Matthew Reck (Mathew J. Reck),
Frederick Charles Matthew, II, John Aaron Matthew (Emily Johnson Matthew), Irene Frances Matthew
Parker, Katherine Caroline Matthew-Parker, and six great-grandchildren. Relatives and friends are
invited to attend the Funeral Service at Metairie Ridge Presbyterian Church, 215 Phosphor Ave.,

then do what you say'. Jerry Nagel was born in New Orleans to Mary Kathleen (McCue) Nagel and Emile S.

campaign and later served aboard a submarine which completed three successful combat patrols in
Japanese Empire waters. Mr. Percy was awarded the Silver Star Medal and the Bronze Star Medal (with
'V'). While in the South Pacific he served for a time with the squad which included PT 109. He was on
PT 162 on the fateful night when a youthful John F. Kennedy's boat was shipwrecked. Mr. Percy and
Kennedy, who were wartime buddies, remained in touch until career choices separated their pathways.
Mr. Percy often referred to this period of his life with special enthusiasm as the perils of war took
him into the South China and Yellow Seas aboard the submarine Sea Robin under Lieutenant Commander
Paul C. Stimson. After war's end and a tour in the Canal Zone, Mr. Percy continued his education with
courses at The University of the South. He went on to law school at the University of Virginia, where
his father, uncle and grandfather had studied. Following law school, a friend's introduction to a
vivacious Manhattan publishing executive, Jaye Dobbs, set Percy's new course. After a courtship that
included World Series games at Yankee Stadium, they were married and toured Europe. They settled in
New Orleans where Mr. Percy joined the law faculty at Tulane and taught Constitutional Law for over 30
years. The Percys were lifelong members of Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans. Mr. Percy served
with distinction on the Board of the Milne Home School for Boys, United Way, New Orleans Chapter,

000925 PETERSON Llora Lee (Rose) Bennett Peterson After nearly 93 years of service, love, support and
laughter Llora Lee Bennett Peterson went to be with God and her family on January 19, 2013 in San
Antonio, TX. Born in New Orleans, LA on April 8, 1920 she was, at the time, the largest baby ever at
Hotel Dieu weighing in at 11 lbs. 15 ounces. The 6th of seven children of the late Katie Mitchell
Bennett and Foster Bennett, she is also preceded in death by her siblings; her beloved sister, Gloria
Gandolfi, brothers Thomas Bennett, Gerard Bennett, sisters Maregina Bennett, Lorraine Fischer, and
Stella Mae Blasini. Llora Lee was one of the original working women beautifully balancing a successful
career of 30 years at Bell South with the demands of raising her Daughter Tessa. She often bragged
that her long arms allowed her to work the switch board better than the other women. Her husband, the
late Captain William C. Peterson Jr. was a merchant marine. Through her indomitable spirit and can do
attitude Llora Lee raised Tessa and forged a bond between the two that was unmatched and continued
until the day she died. She was a fun loving, loyal and generous woman to her family and friends. A
product of the great depression, Llora Lee was a consummate saver but was also always quick to help
those she cared about at their times of need. This generosity of spirit never ceased. Llora Lee was
devout to her Roman Catholic upbringing and especially loved saying her daily rosary. She is survived
by her loving daughter, Tessa Peterson Bodnar, grandchildren Robert Bodnar (Susie) Katie Mitchell
Bodnar Meissner (Kurt), William Bodnar and 9 great-grandchildren. Laughter and joy were always close
by when she was gathered with her loved ones. Her entire family got to spend a wonderful afternoon
together with her just three weeks ago at Christmas. All of them will miss her greatly but are blessed
to have had such a long time with mom, grandma and G.G. (great grandma) laughing with, learning from
and loving this beautiful woman. Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:30 AM at

Italy, England or parts unknown. She filled rooms with her fabulous personality and was blessed with
many amazing women as dear friends. She will be missed daily by her family, her sister and best

was recently blessed with her first great grandchild, Mila Fazende. The daughter of Camilla Papa De
Corte and Basil DeCorte, she graduated from St. Catherine of Sienna, Mount Carmel Academy and

fishing for white perch. Even as his memory started to fail, he could still tell you under which tree
he caught fish and who his fishing buddy was at the time. Joe was the consummate role model for his

preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy Elizabeth Best Seligman, his parents Roger Adolphe Leonard
Seligman and Jeanne Letitia David-Weill, both of Paris, France and his sisters Marie-Claire Orlins and
Martine Boileau. He is survived by his daughter Claudia E. Seligman and his beloved menagerie, Kookie,
Bitzie and Kittie. A native of Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, he immigrated to the United States during
WWII in 1940. He attended The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut and like most of his
classmates left during his senior year to enlist in the service. He enlisted in the French Navy at 17
years old and was commissioned an officer and awarded his naval aviator wings when he was barely 18
years old, the youngest to do so. He subsequently was also commissioned in the US Navy. He was awarded
a Distinguished Flying Cross. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1952. After the war, he
attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in
Mechanical Engineering. He subsequently moved to Texas and worked in the oil industry. In 1957, he
moved to New Orleans and purchased the old Canulette Shipyard, renaming the yard Southern Shipbuilding
Corporation. He remained President/CEO until closure of the yard in 1993. He so enjoyed shipbuilding
and design, having designed and constructed a number of 'firsts' in the shipbuilding industry. During
his retirement, he enjoyed engineering work with his daughter in her business. He was an avid snow
skier, having raced downhill in the Harriman Cup and having taught skiing in Sun Valley, Idaho. He
enjoyed cooking and always enjoyed trying new recipes. He was a former member of the Krewe of Olympia,
St. Tammany Economic Development Foundation, Association of Naval Aviation, and the Rensselaer Alumni
Board as well as several professional organizations. Most of all, he will be remembered as a loving
and caring father throughout his entire life. The family would like to thank Dr. Rab, Dr. Salam, Dr.

friend, Audrey Bileci and spouse Albert of Baton Rouge. Preceded in death by her husband of 71 years,
Richard Alston Sherlock, Sr.; her mother, Grace Barnes Sloan; father, Jack Phillips Bonds; and
brother, Wesley Delwyn Bonds. Having spent her childhood years in Ardmore, OK, and young adult/married
years in New Orleans, they lived in Baton Rouge since 1950. She attended business school at Baylor
University before marriage and enjoyed her independence as a 'working girl' in New Orleans in the
30's. Her joy was volunteering at Bernard Terrace on numerous PTO committees while her sons attended,
and supporting every moment of her boys' band 'Ronnie and the Crowns' on and off the road, and she
eventually returned to work in Baton Rouge at Jack's Cookies and eventually Broussard Paint and
Wallpaper as their beloved bookkeeper. She was a proud member of DAR's Baton Rouge chapter, for many
decades having served as LA State Regent. Her passion, however, was for Mardi Gras, and she led the
creation of Baton Rouge's Krewe of Iduna in 1961, offering the Story of Iduna as the inspiration for
the krewe's name and the titles of its king and queen. Serving as the 3rd Captain of the Ball, she
faithfully collaborated and worked diligently with every subsequent ball to ensure a spectacular
production was in store for all. Her husband Richard was King Bragi in 1970, her son Ronnie was King
Bragi in 1997, the only father and son to serve as King, and her granddaughter Richelle was Queen
Iduna in 1992, the first granddaughter to serve as queen. She will always be lovingly remembered as
'Mrs. Sherlock' by generations of Sherwood Band students taught by her son Ronnie. The family
gratefully acknowledges the loving care of Brenda Knight, her longtime caregiver and friend of the
family. Pallbearers are Richard Sherlock III, J. Chad Simmons, Sean Sherlock, Raymond Jones. Visiting

of 50+ years. He passed away peacefully in his Metairie home early Monday, January 28, at the age of
83. He is survived by his loving wife, Helen Simoneaux, who he adored for 62 years. It was an
inspiring love and marriage. His family was always his #1 priority. He was a completely devoted father

Adam Sinibaldi, who were the lights of his life. He was preceded in death by his father, Atillio
Sinibaldi, mother, Rose Gatusa, and sister , Gloria Strnad. He will be greatly missed by many nieces,
nephews, extended family and close long-time friends. He lived with Semper Fi spirit and serving our
country as a U.S. Marine was one of his proudest honors. His dedication to service continued when he
joined th! e N.O. Fire Department in 1957. His discipline as a firefighter and leadership as an
officer helped protect our city until his retirement as a Captain in 1985. He was a talented athlete,
pursued golf in his retirement, and was an avid sports enthusiast with passion for his Saints and
Hornets. His greatest joy was supporting his three grandsons in any and all endeavors which made him a
long-time loyal fan of Rummel athletics and recently of Nicholls Colonels baseball. He lived his life
with passion, dignity, honor, integrity and meaning. His character will always serve as a shining
example to those who knew him and his endearing sense of humor was just one more reason he was loved
and respected. Visitation will be Saturday, February 2, at St. Mary Magdalen Church, 6425 W. Metairie,
Metairie, LA from 10-12 a.m. with memorial mass celebrated at noon. There will be no interment as his

001106 SMITH Joan C. Smith, lovingly known as "Granny," left this world less than a day before her
78th birthday. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Elliott "Bob," "Popsy" Smith, her sister, Gail
Fiorello, her five children, Michael, Laurel, Mitchell, Mark, and Glen, her daughters-in-law, Karen
and Gina, and her son-in-law, Tommy. Also left to cherish her memory are her eight grandchildren,
Sabrina, Mitch, Ashley, Meagan, Dale, Taylor, Alexa, and Eli, her eight great-grandchildren, and a
host of nieces and nephews. Together, Granny and Popsy always lived life to the fullest. They took
several road trips across the U.S. and Canada, and they were always big fans of cruises. The pair
often went-out dancing, and as the years went by, it wasn't rare for Popsy to turn-up the music at
home in an effort to steal a dance with his love. Although we will always miss her, our faith tells us
that this is indeed not the end, so instead of saying "Goodbye," we'll say "We love you, and we'll
talk to you later." Services were private. Harry McKneely and Son Funeral Home is in charge of

001162 THERIAULT Father Armand Francis Theriault, SVD 1928-2012 Father Armand Francis Theriault, SVD
passed away on December 27, 2012 at the Divine Word Residence in Techny, Illinois. 'Father T' as he
was affectionately called was born January 21, 1928 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Nelson Theriault
and Armele Moulton-Theriault. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Nelson, Jr.;
sisters, Lorraine Lavin and Marie Cyr. He joined the Society of the Divine Word and was ordained at
St. Augustine Seminary in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi in 1955. After his ordination 'Father T' was
assigned to Indonesia. However, due to political unrest in the country at the time he was unable to
fulfill his dream of being an overseas missionary. So he began his long ministry in the Southern
Province of the Society of the Divine Word by being sent as associate pastor at St. Rose de Lima
Church in Bay Saint Louis from 1956-1958; St. Francis Church in Yazoo City, Mississippi from 1958-
1963; St. Nicholas Church in St. Louis, Missouri 1963-1964. He was vocation director for the Divine
Word Missionaries from 1964-1966 and then associate pastor at St. Augustine church in New Orleans,
Louisiana from 1966-1968 and then pastor from 1968 to 1976. In 1976 he returned to St. Augustine in
Bay Saint Louis to serve as vocation director until 1979 when he was named rector of St. Augustine
Seminary. He remained rector until 1985. He spent time in St. Martinville, Louisiana for one year and
then became pastor of two churches in Delcambre, Louisiana, St. Martin de Porres and Our Lady of the
Lake from 1986-1992. He then returned to St. Rose de Lima Church in Bay Saint Louis where he had begun
his ministry and was pastor there from 1992-2002. In 2002 he began his retirement at St. Augustine.
After Hurricane Katrina ravaged the retirement residence he moved to Techny, Illinois where he enjoyed
his retirement with fellow Divine Word Missionaries. Father Theriault was in many leadership positions
within the Southern Province of the Society of the Divine Word. He was Vice Provincial from 1968 to
1976. He was elected twice to serve on the Provincial Council and held important responsibilities as
District Superior while in the Diocese of Lafayette. His entire ministry was marked by compassion and
care for people. He was part of many ecumenical groups, a member of NAACP, and extremely proud to be a
fourth degree member of the Knights of Peter Claver. He was a vocal advocate for justice and equality
and spared no energy during the civil rights era. With his engaging personality 'Father T' was well
known by many. Everyone who has been touched by his life has a story to tell of this charismatic
priest. He was active in youth ministry throughout his life as he was also a teacher in the Catholic
schools, a coach, director of youth center, and even bus driver. Until his death he was always
supportive of vocations to the priesthood and religious life. In his parish ministry he encouraged
young men and women to consider a life of service in the Church. He was proud to be a member of the
Society of the Divine Word . His work, personality, cheerful and outgoing nature will be sorely
missed. Yet, his spirit lives on in the hearts of untold numbers of individuals far and wide. He was a
legend in his own time and as Father Gus Wall, SVD said so well in his Facebook tribute to 'Father
T'...'well done, Frank...well done'. A wake service will be held at 7pm on January 7, 2013 at St.
Augustine's Chapel in Bay Saint Louis. On Tuesday January 8 the Mass of Christian Burial will held at
10:30 am also at St. Augustine's Chapel in Bay Saint Louis. A reception will be held at the St. Rose

001183 TODARO Elio Eligio Todaro peacefully departed earthly existence to enter eternal rest, where a
perpetual light shall shine upon him, on January12, 2013, at his home in Harvey, La. He was 63. Elio
is a native of Alia, Sicily. He emigrated to the United States in 1962 and made New Orleans his home.
In 1987, Elio and the Todaro family opened Vieux Carre Wine and Spirits on Chartres Street. The store
continues in that same location today, operated by his brothers. In 1993, Elio ventured out on his own
and opened Elio's Wine Warehouse in Uptown New Orleans, stocking some of the world's greatest wines at
New Orleans' best prices. When you entered Elio's you were likely to hear, 'Have I got a deal for
you!' or 'You'll never see this price again!' Elio's Wine Warehouse became more than a store - it grew
into a place where customers become friends and friends become family. Elio's Wine Warehouse continues
today, operated by his son Tim. Elio is survived by his adoring wife of 23 years, Paula Sierra Todaro;
his devoted son Timothy Joseph Todaro; his three brothers Calogero Todaro (wife Clara), Biagio Todaro
(wife Estelle) and Rosalino Todaro (wife Johnny); nieces Maria Todaro and Virginia Todaro Abel
(husband Kerry); nephews Stephen Todaro, Lino Todaro, JoJo Todaro, and Stephen Sierra; a host of great
nieces and nephews; cousins Gene Todaro (wife Sonya), Gene Todaro, Jr. (wife Rebecca) and their
children, Carlo Todaro, Marcello Todaro (wife Susan) and their children; and his sister-in-law Sandra
Sierra Margavio. Elio was a member of the international wine and food organization Chaine de
Rotisseurs, the New Orleans Bailliage, and of a branch of the Chaîne known as the Société Mondiale du
Vin. At the time of his passing Elio held the officer positions of Vice Echanson and Professionnel Du
Vin. In May of 2010 Elio, along with several New Orleans Chaîne Memebers, travelled to Rome, where he
was made an Ambassador of the United States representing the New Orleans Chaîne and presented a
proclamation to the Rome Bailliage. He was also given the Silver Star and Bronze Star of Excellence
for all the work he did for the New Orleans Bailliage. Elio will be missed by all who knew him,
especially his travel companions with whom he toured the world - Elio's Wine Warehouse Gang; Elio's
Wine Warehouse Lil Rascals; Elio's Wine Warehouse Los Amigos; Elio's Wine Warehouse Scandinavian
Escapades; Elio's Wine Warehouse Russian Rubles; and Elio's Wine Warehouse 16 on 9. In 2006, Elio and
others brought Felipe's Taqueria to New Orleans, his latest contribution to the wine and food scene of
the Big Easy. Relatives and friends of the family invited to attend the Funeral Mass at Lake Lawn
