000147 BURR John T. Burr died peacefully, surrounded by his family, early in the morning of February
22, 2013. He was a warm, generous man with superb artistic and musical talent, who was loved by all
the many people who knew him in New Orleans. He was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, but as a
child, moved with his parents to St Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. His years in the Caribbean
shaped his sense of color and design, and his love of music. He studied art in New York City, and
though he had played guitar starting in his boyhood, he spent several years in Spain studying
flamenco. He settled in New Orleans, where he performed music and made art that attracted wide
attention. In his later years he made movies through his company Blue Iguana Pictures, and some of his
short films became known world-wide through the Internet. He was unfailingly generous to a host of
friends, many of whom are young artists and musicians currently building their careers in New Orleans.
His home was always filled with laughter, and brilliant artistic and musical ideas. Though he battled
a severe illness for several years, his joy and love of life never left him. He is survived by his
wife Anne Monteleone Burr, and his daughter Catherine Tucker Burr, his father John Thayer Burr, his
older brother Winthrop Ames Burr, his older sister Evelyn Thayer Brignoli, and his younger brother
Timothy Fuller Burr. A memorial celebration of his life will be held on Monday, February 25, at LAKE
LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME at 3:00 PM. Visitation from 1:30 until service time. John sends special

000400 GHERGICH June Marie Toye Ghergich, entered peacefully into eternal life in the comfort of her
own home in the presence of family and friends on Monday, February 4, 2013at 6:44 pm. She was 86 years
old. Mrs. Ghergich was born in New Orleans and lived in Metairie for the past 42 years. She was a
member of the Saint Anthony of Padua Parish while raising her children and later became a parishioner
of Saint Louis King of France Catholic Church. Mrs. Ghergich was affectionately called Mama June by
both family and friends. She loved people and most especially children. If you needed a prom dress,
cheer leader outfit, costume, or shredded shorts sewn together she was the gal to see. Her baking
skills were in constant demand. For years she baked numerous confections for her son's camp in
Gueydan. The guys would call her son to make sure their favorite was among the many baked items. She
was always in the kitchen baking yeast rolls, making designer cakes, birthday cakes, or her own famous
brownie. She was a Girl Scout leader. She was a woman before her time, willing to travel with her four
kids at night each summer to Waveland, MS where the children and sometimes the Girl Scouts enjoyed
carefree summers. There was never a gathering of friends or family where she went the people there
were not eager for her return. She was always happy, funny and had a good ear for listening. In her
case whatever went in never came out. So, your confidence was always safe with her. June was a lover
of words and a great story teller and an outstanding creative writer. If you needed a story, card, or
invitation written, you just called her and in an instant she was calling you to pick it up. Those
creative genes were passed on to several in the family. June was always able to take the ordinary and
turn it into something extraordinary. She believed that any lemon could be made into lemonade. Mama
June's cup was always half full and NEVER half empty. She was the wife of 66 years to the late Matthew
S. Ghergich, III, and was the daughter of the late Paul William Toye and Nelle Irene Woodington Toye.
She is survived by her children: Lynda Jean (Dominick F. Bonura), Jo-Ann Toye (Gilbert Ordoyne), Jami
Marie Ghergich, and a son Matthew Stanislaus Ghergich, IV, husband Carrie M. Monnier, Grandchildren:
Justin D. (Janis) Bonura, Jessica Jean Bonura Nail, Ashlee W. (Mark) Ancalade, Sasha M. Ordoyne,

Nail, June M. Nail, Daniel J. Nail, Nicholas G. Nail, Dominick L. Ancalade, Andre A. Ancalade,

was preceded in death by her sisters, Elizabeth Toye Kaufman, Beverly Toye Spine, and Patricia Toye
Hill. In addition she is survived by Grace Joyce Toye Flynn and Paul William Toye, Jr., Relatives and

000401 GIACOBBE Gwen Delle Bernadas Giacobbe On April 6, 1939 an Angel was sent to earth to enrich and
brighten the lives of those whose lives she would touch. And for 73 years, with the beautiful name of
Gwen Delle, she did just that, with grace, dignity, kindness, beauty, a bright spirit and an
infectious smile. On February 7, 2013 her earthly life ended leaving an emptiness that will be deeply
felt. Beloved wife for 49 years of Joseph L. Giacobbe. Daughter of the late Helen Marshall Bernadas
and Clifford W. Bernadas Sr. Sister of Clifford W. Bernadas Jr. (Shirley). Aunt of Clifford W.
Bernadas III, Marla B. Garrity (Richard), Thomas Marshall Bernadas and Scott M. Phillips (Kelly).
Great Aunt of Ryan, Evan and Caitlin Garrity. Also survived by sisters-in-law, Maria Giacobbe, Lee G.
Facenda (Aubrey), Therese Giacobbe, Louise Champion (Cary) and brother-in-law George Giacobbe (Gail),
as well as, nieces and nephews Toni A. Lovejoy, M. Nan Alessandra, Clayton Brown, Tommy Jean Hodges,
Larry Brown, Gregory Brown, Jeffrey Brown, Bradley Brown, Kelly G. Gros, Corinne G. Hufft, Lawrence
Giacobbe, Vanessa Facenda, Christopher Facenda, Randy Fischbein, Lauren Giacobbe and Rob Giacobbe and

Giacobbe, father-in-law Lawrence Giacobbe, sister-in-law L. Georgie G. Brown (Tommy) and brother-in-
law Robert Giacobbe and neice Kerri Fischbein White. Gwen Delle was a graduate of Alcee Fortier High
School in New Orleans and attended Louisiana State University. Within a few years she returned to her
early interest in dance and began studying at the Giacobbe Academy of Dance. She had found her passion
and started serious training. At the Academy she met her future husband, Joseph Giacobbe and they
developed a relationship that grew into a long, lasting marriage. Being very friendly and gregarious
by nature she had many interests and enjoyed numerous varied activities. One of these turned into a
two year career as a flight attendant for United Airlines where she was based in New York City, which
allowed her the opportunity to continue dance classes. After her marriage in 1963 she became a member
of the faculty of the Giacobbe Academy teaching at the studios in Metairie, Gentilly, Uptown, and
Slidell where she became the principal teacher and director. Ms. Gwen Delle's students loved her for
her kind nature, engaging smile, warmth, and sense of encouragement. She danced professionally with
her husband in Teresa's Flamenco Dance Company on numerous tours including a stint performing and
teaching at Jacob's Pillow in Lee, Massachusetts. For many years she danced in an array of productions
with the New Orleans Opera, and created principal and soloist roles for the Delta Festival Ballet, the
local company founded by the Giacobbe family in the late Sixties. Ms. Gwen Delle, as she was always
affectionately know, filled many roles with the ballet company. She was an invaluable behind the
scenes force and sought little recognition for the important work she accomplished. She was
instrumental in spearheading and working with the volunteers to create La Fete du Ballet the annual
ballet company fund raiser; built and managed the Nutcracker Boutique which is now a huge success; and
coordinated and supervised the arrangements for the student performances of the Nutcracker. She
constantly worked with wardrobe to accessorize and color coordinate costumes, and make sure each
headdress or tiara or crown was appropriate. Her behind the scenes work has left a long shadow. Her
professional accomplishments are outstanding, but everyone will remember her kindness, generosity, her
desire to please and give, her sunny personality, her love of life and of people and her engaging
smile. She was loved and adored by both sides of her family who will always remember and cherish the
time that she was part of their lives. And she loved each of them. Their hearts are broken as they say
goodbye. Rest well dear Gwen Delle. There was a private service at Greenwood on February 11, 2013. A

000419 GRAY DENVER FREDERICK GRAY passed away on January 23, 2013, in Tampa, Florida, with members of
his immediate family by his side. He was 88. Born in New Orleans on November 11, 1924, Mr. Gray was a
lifelong resident of Metairie, Louisiana until the Hurricane Katrina floodwaters forced his relocation
to Highlands, North Carolina and Tampa, Florida. A devoted family man and avid deep-sea fisherman, Mr.
Gray loved nothing more than gathering his family aboard the Hello Dolly to explore the rich fishing
waters of the Gulf of Mexico and beyond, and was equally at home on the ski slopes of Colorado well
into his 70s. As a Boy Scout Master for over 15 years, he believed in leading by example, supporting
both charitable and political groups that strove to instill character, integrity, and responsibility.
After serving in the Army Air Corps as a pilot towards the end of World War II and subsequently
attending Tulane University, Mr. Gray began his insurance career at Travelers in 1948. Always an
innovator, Mr. Gray recognized the unique exposures created by the burgeoning offshore oil and gas
industry and created a self-funded liability insurance program to address those needs. Gray & Company,
Inc., the firm he and his wife Dorothy Belle Verlander Gray founded in 1953, initially operated as the
underwriting manager for various unaffiliated insurance companies. Over the ensuing 60 years, Mr. Gray
oversaw the expansion of his enterprise, which is currently run by his three surviving sons, Walter,
Michael and Eric, and encompasses operations in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Subsidiaries
of the parent firm include The Gray Insurance Company, The Gray Casualty & Surety Company, The Gray
Oil & Gas Company, The Gray Exploration Corporation, Verlander, LLC, Gray Matter, LLC, and Delta Title
Corporation. Among other organizations, Mr. Gray was a member of the Coastal Conservation Association,
New Orleans Big Game Fishing Club, Southern Yacht Club, Pass Christian Yacht Club, the New Orleans
Country Club, and Wildcat Cliff Country Club, and was a generous supporter of the Republican Party. He
was preceded in death by his parents, Reuben F. Gray and Inez Dubus Gray; his siblings Calvin Gray, M.
David Gray, Reuben Flanagan Gray, and Barbara Ann Gray; his eldest son, Denver F. Gray, Jr.; and his
beloved wife of 49 years, Dorothy Belle Verlander Gray. Mr. Gray is survived by his three sons and
their wives: Walter Verlander (Tamberly) Gray of Metairie, Michael Townsend (Linda) Gray of
Mandeville, and Eric Verlander (Janel) Gray of Covington; and by his grandchildren: Denver and Martin;
Joseph, Michelle, Dorothy and Michael, Jr.; and Olivia, Eric, Jr. and Tyler; and by his wife Patricia

000462 HELLER EDWARD MAX HELLER died Tuesday, February 12, 2013, at Ochsner Medical Center of
Parkinson's Disease and complications from pneumonia. He was 86 years old. Mr. Heller, a graduate of
Harvard and Tulane law schools, was an accomplished attorney, who was described as the "Dean of the
Louisiana Bankruptcy Bar." During his career, he handled a number of high-profile cases, including the
bankruptcy reorganization of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. Mr. Heller, the son of Isaac Scherck
Heller and Mildred Harris Heller, was born in New Orleans on April 5, 1926. A graduate of one of the
first classes of Metairie Park Country Day School, he later attended the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He was a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity
as well as Pi Lamda Phi and Pi Tau Pi. After law school, Mr. Heller returned to New Orleans to
practice with his father, Isaac, in the firm Heller & Heller. He ended his more than six-decade
practice of law in the firm Heller, Draper. Mr. Heller served as chairman of the board of the
Louisiana Health Service and Indemnity Company (Blue Cross of Louisiana), President of the Jewish
Welfare Federation of New Orleans and the Harvard Law School Association of Louisiana. He also served
on the board of directors of the Metairie Park Country Day School, the Community Chest, Congregation
Temple Sinai and the United Way. Throughout his life, Mr. Heller excelled as a craftsman, model-
builder of boats and trains, and sailor of small boats. His operational replica of an early 20th
century Thames River steam tug was featured on the cover of "Ships in Scale." His work with mosaic
tiles, including a Byzantine-style portrait of him and his wife, Sandra, attracted coverage in the
Times-Picayune. And he pursued his love of sailing small craft - Hobie Cats and Sunfish - to the end
of his life. Mr. Heller is survived by his wife, Sandra Peilen Heller; four daughters, Karen Ann
Heller, wife of Robert Becker, Sally Jane Heller, Mildred Edith Denegre, wife of George Denegre Jr.,
and Barbara Josi Heller. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Isabelle Harris Meyers, Edward
George Denegre, Mathilde Alma Denegre and Tobias Santo Heller. Mr. Heller's beloved brother, Theo
Heller, preceded him in death. Services will be held at Temple Sinai, 6227 St. Charles Ave., on

000626 LEDNER Julia (Judy) Ferguson Ledner passed away peacefully on Friday, February 22, 2013. Judy
was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 3, 1925 to Mary and Edward Ferguson. She is survived
by her loving husband Albert; sons David and Robert; daughter Catherine; grandsons Winston Pfotenhauer
and John Ledner; nephew Ken Ferguson; niece Jane Novoselsky and many family members and friends. Judy
graduated from Ursuline Academy followed by attendance and graduation from Newcomb College in 1947
where she majored in Political Science and Economics. As a graduate student at Tulane in 1947, working
on her Masters degree in Theater, she was named to the Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. Judy's
acting career is traced back to her childhood days as "The Guardian of the Flowers" in a school play.
Having been bitten by the stage bug, she played in a number of school and children's theater plays.
Judy's non-professional acting career began in 1947 in a Tulane University Theatre production of
"Night Must Fall", followed by the play "Winterset", "Out of the Frying Pan", and "Our Town". Judy's
numerous performances continued at various theaters in New Orleans including Le Petit Theatre du Vieux
Carre (The Little Theatre), Gallery Circle Theatre, Tulane Student Theatre, Summer Lyric Theatre, and
the Bayou Theatre, with her last performance in "Morning's at Seven" in 1991, at the age of 66. Judy's
many performances included "The Philadelphia Story", "Blithe Spirit", "Major Barbara", "Memorial",
"The Importance of Being Ernest", "Ladies in Retirement", "The Time of the Cuckoo", "Dark Comedy",
"Veronica's Room", "The Rose Tattoo", and "My Fair Lady". Judy's non-acting activities included
teaching creative dramatics, short periods as a Real Estate Agent with Latter and Blum and as a sales
representative for Beulah Ledner Industries. Judy also did occasional dramatic readings, and was a
participant on the Advisory Board of Tulane's Center Stage. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made
to Newcomb College, Tulane University, or the Sisters of Charity. A private family service will be
held. Times picayune 2/24/2013

000734 MEYER Joy Sumner Meyer, a resident of Alexandria, Louisiana for over five decades, passed away
on St. Valentine's Day 2013 at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans after a brief final illness. A genuine
daughter of the Delta, Joy was born on August 29, 1933 in Sumner, Mississippi to Louise Robinson
Sumner and Paul Creekmore Sumner. Joy graduated from West Tallahatchie High School in 1951, attended
Mississippi State College for Women, receiving a Bachelor of Arts from the "W" in 1955, and obtained a
Masters of Fine Arts from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University in 1956. While teaching in Port
Arthur, Texas, Joy met James L. Meyer, who was working as a chemical engineer for Gulf Oil
Corporation. They married in 1957 and by 1962 were living in Alexandria near Jimmy's hometown of Tioga
when they welcomed their first child, Mary Laura, followed by their son Carter Peyton, in 1969. Joy
loved the roles of mother and then grandmother to her grandsons, James Peyton Toups, son of Mary and
her husband, Tony Toups of New Orleans, and Sumner Meyer, son of Carter Meyer of Huntsville, Texas and
Misty Craven of Houston, as well as her step grandchildren, Alyse Toups Mouledoux of New Orleans and
Stephen Toups of Baton Rouge. Joy worked for many years in Central Louisiana as a residential and
commercial interior designer, continuing to accept clients well into her late 70's. She also worked in
various media as an artist, including paint, wood, and clay. Joy was a true partner with her husband
and was a driving force with Jimmy in establishing the Alexandria-based civil engineering firm, Meyer,
Meyer, LaCroix and Hixson. She took great pride in the firm's growth and ongoing success, as well as
her design of the firm's longtime headquarters building. After Jimmy died unexpectedly in 1998, Joy
continued to support their many civic endeavors. Particularly important to Joy was Jimmy's work as the
first Chairman of the England Airpark Authority, where he spearheaded the groundbreaking conversion of
the England Air Force Base into a multi-use commercial and residential development. Their community
work culminated when Joy spoke at the 2011 dedication ceremony for the James L. Meyer Terminal at the
Alexandria International Airport located in the Airpark. She is survived by one of her siblings, June
Sumner Glenn of Crawfordsville, Arkansas, as well June's children: Morry Glenn of Conway, Arkansas and
Luann Glenn of Little Rock; the children of her deceased sister, Taylor Sumner Spradling of
Clarksdale, Mississippi: Sumner Spradling of Browns Summit, North Carolina and his wife, Risa, and

Creekmore Sumner, and his wife, Mattie Bass Sumner of Newton Grove, North Carolina: Lynn Sumner Motz
of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, Leigh Sumner of Newton Grove, and Lorri Sumner of Wilmington, North
Carolina. Joy is also survived by her first cousins, Bob Bailey of Sumner and Dr. Wiley Hutchins of
Columbus, Mississippi. Joy lived her Christian faith as an enduring member of St. Timothy's Episcopal
Church in Alexandria. She participated in many civic and cultural activities, serving on the boards of
various charities in Alexandria, including the YWCA and the Arts Council. Joy also was an Area Leader
for the Girl Scouts, served as a docent at Kent Plantation House and was a supporter of the River Oaks
Arts Center in Alexandria. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 23 at St. Timothy's
Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Louisiana, preceded by a visitation in the Parish Hall. Times will be
announced. A celebration of remembrance of Joy's life of love, family and friendship will be held in

000735 MEYERS William Morrison Meyers The United State Marine Corps motto is "Semper Fidelis" or as
the Marines say, "Semper Fi" which means "always faithful" or "always loyal." William Morrison Meyers,
who passed away on February 22, 2013, lived his life according to the Marine motto. Bill was faithful
to his family, his country, the Corps, his profession, and his school. Born in Lafayette, LA, on May
17, 1922, to Frank W. Meyers and Eleanor Slocomb Meyers, Bill was the third of four children. He is
predeceased by his parents and his siblings, Eleanor Meyers West Domingue, Frank W. Meyers, Jr., and
Gloria Meyers Cunningham Roper. He graduated from Lafayette High School in 1939 and later graduated
from S.L.I. (now U.L.L.) before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1942. After going through boot
camp at the Marine Depot at Parris Island, S.C., Bill was sent to Officer Candidate School at the
Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va., and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant on March 22, 1944. His primary
military specialties were infantry unit commander and sea duty officer. After training, he was ordered
to report to the Marine Detachment aboard the battleship U.S.S. Washington (BB-56) where he served as
a gunnery officer. The U.S.S. Washington saw action in the Pacific Theater and served as naval support
for the Marines in their amphibious assaults including the landings at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Four
battle stars were awarded to Bill - Battle of Leyte Gulf, Luzon Operation, Iwo Jima Bombardment, and
Okinawa Bombardment. At the conclusion of the war, he was relieved of active duty in 1946, but
remained in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve until honorably discharged at the rank of Captain in 1958.
Following the War, and while attending LSU Law, Bill met Lorraine Holleman. The couple married in
1948, and together made the perfect team raising six active children. BIll graduated from the LSU Law
Center in 1948 where he was Associate Editor of the Louisiana Law Review, and a member of The Order of
the Coif and the Phi Delta Phi Legal Fraternity (President). He became a member of the firm of Liskow
& Lewis in Lake Charles, and was associated with that firm for over 41 years. He was one of the
founders of the New Orleans office of Liskow & Lewis in 1959, and later became Managing Partner for
several years. Blessed with a brilliant intellect, he specialized in oil and gas law and was known for
his thoroughness and attention to detail. He was particularly active with respect to legal and
environmental issues relative to offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and
waters bordering the State of Alaska. In his representation of major oil companies, Bill was regularly
involved in federal hearings across the country including Alaska. In 1980, he was awarded a
Certificate of Appreciation by the American Petroleum Institute for his "outstanding services" in this
regard. He was a frequent speaker at legal seminars pertaining to these matters. Bill established a
system for recording lease titles at the US Bureau of Land Management under the Outer Continental
Shelf Lands Act which is still in use today. A long-time senior member of the Council of the Louisiana
Law Institute, Bill was very active in the revisions of various portions of the Louisiana Civil Code
and the Louisiana Mineral Code. In 1984, he was the LSU Law Center's first Practitioner in Residence
where he taught for a semester. He was inducted into the LSU Law Center Hall of Fame in 1987. Bill was
a member of the LSU Law Center's Chancellor's Council. Bill is a former member of both the Board of
Governors and the Board of Delegates of the Louisiana State Bar Association. He is a former research
fellow and member of the Board of Trustees of the Southwestern Legal Foundation (now known as The
Center for American and International Law)., and served for 11 years on the Board of Editors of the
Oil and Gas Reporter, a publication of the Southwestern Legal Foundation. Upon his retirement from
Liskow & Lewis, Bill and Lorraine moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where they spent many happy
years enjoying time with dear friends and hosting their eleven grandchildren who visited regularly.
For the last six years, Bill and Lorraine lived in Covington. In 2012, Bill was honored by the LSU Law
Center with a Distinguished Achievement Award. He was also inducted into the Hall of Honor for
Distinguished Leadership by Cadets of the Ole War Skule at LSU in 2012. He is a former member of the
LSU Foundation. Bill loved LSU, especially the LSU Law Center. He cultivated a love for LSU in his own
children who have fond memories of him driving the family to Baton Rouge on Saturdays, tailgating
outside Tiger Stadium, and of course, leaving the game early in order to avoid the post-game traffic.
So, we missed the Bert Jones touchdown pass to Brad Davis with one second left versus Ole Miss in
1972, but at least we beat the traffic. Along with his family, Bill was inducted into the Louisiana
Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012. He lettered in varsity tennis for LSU in 1948 while attending LSU Law
School. He introduced his children at a young age to the sport he loved and fully supported them in
their efforts to succeed in tennis and their other endeavors. He was a long time member of the New
Orleans Lawn Tennis Club and in the 1970s, served as a Board member and as President. He played tennis
until he was 80 years old. Bill leaves his beloved and devoted wife of 64 years, Lorraine Holleman
Meyers, their six children, and their spouses and children: Dr. William M. Meyers, Jr. and his wife,
Melissa Day Meyers, of New Orleans; Meg Meyers Smith, her husband, Michael, of Houston and their
children, Taylor and Walker; Mark B. Meyers and his wife, Susan Hopkins Meyers, of Houston, and their
children, Brent, Holly, and Anna; Andrew H. Meyers, and his wife, Erin McKay Meyers, of Lafayette, and
their children, Kathleen, Andrew, Jr., William, and Matthew; Mary Meyers Howard and her husband,
Michael, of Brooklyn, NY, and their daughter, Mimi; and John Cullen Meyers, and his wife, Susan Worrel
Meyers, of Covington, and their daughter, Emily. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews
whom he loved very much. Bill would be the first to say that he was nothing without the love, grace,
support, and patience of his bride, Lorraine. She was clearly the most important person in his life.
Bill's children loved him dearly, but just as importantly, respected him greatly as he served as a
superb role model for character, integrity, and honor. His grandchildren simply adored him for his
quick-wit, sense of humor, and his constant concern and loving-kindness. Visitation from 1:00-3:00 pm
immediately followed by a memorial service will be held on March 16, 2013, in the Garden Room at
Christwood Retirement Community, 100 Christwood Blvd, Covington, LA. Honorary pallbearers are John P.
Laborde, Gene W. Lafitte, Leon J. Reymond, Jr., John M. Wilson, Lester B. Shapiro, Tom Davidson, and
Brainerd Montgomery. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Bill's memory to the "LSU
Foundation--William M. Meyers Endowed Scholarship", and addressed to LSU Foundation, 3838 West

000770 MORENO Gloria Moreno, OP Dominican Sister of Peace Gloria Moreno, OP (88), died at Sansbury
Care Center (St. Catharine, KY) on February 7, 2013. Her parents Charles and Claudine Moreno, her
brother Charles, sister Eleanor Ford, and her twin, Virginia "Virgie" Moreno, pre-deceased her. Born
January 1, 1925, in Tucson, AZ, young Gloria entered the Eucharistic Missionaries of St. Dominic (now
Dominican Sisters of Peace) in 1945. She was Sr. Pascal when she professed her vows in New Orleans on
September 8, 1948. Sr. Gloria balanced catechetical ministry and studies toward a bachelor's degree in
music from Loyola University in New Orleans, LA. She led the community in Gregorian chant and other
liturgical music, and she introduced many groups of postulants and novices to chant. Her facility in
learning sign language launched her into decades of ministry among the hearing impaired within the
Archdiocese of New Orleans and the Diocese of Tucson. Sr. Gloria also participated in several teams of
EMD census takers for parishes in the south and west. Sr. Gloria earned a master's in spirituality
from Duquesne University in Pittsburg, PA. She loved studying theology, being in the company of her
Sisters, and serving however she was needed. Transplanted to St. Catharine because of Katrina in 2005,
Sr. Gloria soon endeared herself to the Sisters and staff at the St. Catharine Motherhouse, and later
at Sansbury, by her gracious concern for others and her gentle humor. In 2009, Sr. Gloria readily
embraced her new Dominican Sister of Peace identity. All of these prepared Sr. Gloria for the final
stage of her paschal journey to the next life. Sr. Gloria is survived by her sister in law, Lydia
Moreno, several nieces and nephews, and their children. Arrangements are handled by Hale - Polin -
Robinson Funeral Home in Springfield, Kentucky. The visitation begins at 3pm, Monday, February 11, at

000827 O'DONNELL Captain Paul H. O'Donnell, of Islamorada, Florida keys, passed away peacefully at
home on Saturday, February 2, 2013, following a courageous battle with cancer. His final days were
spent with family and loved ones who will cherish the memories and stories they shared. Captain Paul
was born on November 14, 1946 in New Orleans, La, the son of Andrew Jerome O'Donnell, Jr. and Ora Lea
Gaines O'Donnell. Although the family moved away for brief stretches, Capt Paul's formative years were
spent in New Orleans, where he fully embraced the city's culture, cuisine, and "Laissez les bon Tempts
Rouler" attitude. Following High School, Paul enlisted in the Marine Corps and proudly served his
country during the Vietnam War era. After completing his military service he returned to New Orleans,
where he never met a stranger, and made great friends in all of his professional and personal
endeavors. Always a lover of the great outdoors, he moved to the Florida Keys in 1987 to pursue a
dream of fishing for a living. He became a Charter Captain and has spent the past 25 years as a
successful and popular member of the Islamorada fishing community. Captain Paul is survived by the
pride of his life, his son, Sean Paul O'Donnell, of Islamorada. Also survived by Sean's mother, Carol
Terry O'Donnell of Costa Rica, sisters Terri O'Donnell Burton of Houston, TX, Ann O'Donnell Forshag of
Arlington, TX, Nancy O'Donnell Smith of Galveston, TX, brother Dennis O'Donnell of Madisonville, LA,
and a host of nieces and nephews, many of whom think "Uncle Paul" was just the coolest Captain ever. A
memorial service will be held in Islamorada on Sunday, February 17, 2013 to celebrate Captain Paul's
life. Following a ceremony on board the "Skipper", a reception will follow at Smuggler's Cove. Family
and friends are invited. Funeral arrangements by Allen-Beyer Funeral Homes, Key Largo. Special thanks
to the team of nurses and assistants with Hospice of the Florida Keys who provided care to Paul during
his final days. Times picayune 2/15/2013

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
to his two daughters, Darlene Hixon, Bridget Sinibaldi, his son Armand Sinibaldi, Jr. (wife Karen
Klopf) and Karen Teague who he loved like his own. He worshipped his three grandsons, Trey, Justin and
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 the 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
final act of generosity was donation of his body to LSU Medical Center for research in aiding others.
