most, you should not ignore abstract forms, the basis from which all short-
lived experiences we call reality spring' A memorial service will be held
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Martin & Castille for the
artist-painter Eugene J. Martin, age 66, who died with the help of
palliative care at his residence on Saturday, January 1, 2005, following a
month's stay at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. Eugene Martin was born in
Washington D.C. on July 24, 1938, where he spent most of his life.
Survivors include his wife, Dr. Suzanne Fredericq, Associate Professor of
Biology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, his brother, Jerry
Walter Martin and his wife Helen Martin from Frederick MD, his nephew Jay
Martin and nieces Monique Martin and Trina Harris Martin and their children
from Frederick, MD, numerous foster brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and
cousins, his mother in law Dr. Marie Fredericq-Lilar from Belgium, and her
daughters and sons in law Th¨rŠse and John Groffen from The Netherlands,
Louise and Bruno Fornari and Francoise and Dr. Karel Arnaut from Belgium,
and Marie and Chuck Laughlin from Lafayette, and all their children. He was
preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Helen Dove, father, James Walter
Martin, and foster parents Franie and Madessa Snowdon. Eugene's art was
beyond category. He was pure genius. For him painting was a spiritual,
introspective, primordial, original and uncompromising creative act. After
attending the Corcoran School of Arts from 1960-1963, he became a full-time
artist, with artistic integrity - come what may- his only guide. His works
of art can be found in numerous private art collections throughout the
world. His most recent exhibition was a one-man show this Fall at the
Jefferson Street Market Gallery in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana; several
of his art pieces are also currently included in the new Acadiana Arts
Center opening exhibit €Spirit of Place: Art from Acadiana in Lafayette.
As extraordinary an artist that he was, Eugene Martin was an even greater
human being - all love, compassion and pure wisdom. His wonderful uplifting
art and poetry live on and will provide joy to generations to come. €Can
someone eat the fruit that comes from the tree of action that grows from
the seeds of your mind? The family wishes to thank Shelley Mullican and
the Louisiana Hospice & Palliative Care, Opelousas, for making his last
voyage and passage so peaceful and wonderful an experience. Arrangements

Healthcare. She was 85. Born in New Orleans, Rita was a resident of
Jefferson, La. for 54 years. She was married for 49 years to the late
Waddell A. Summers. Rita is survived by her son Martin Summers of
Jefferson; three grandchildren: Vicky Eschmann, Marty Summers and Jeffrey
Summers, and a great-grandson Jeffrey Eschmann all of Kenner; and a sister,
Betty Hawkins of Mandeville. Rita is also survived by her compassionate and
loving friend and caregiver, Carol Dornier. Rita earned a Masters in Music
from Loyola University and was a member of the Marianite Order of Nuns for
13 years. At the age of 19, she was choral director for the Eucharistic
Congress held in City Park Stadium in 1938. After leaving the Marianites,
Rita began a teaching career in the Jefferson Parish Public School System.
Upon her retirement from teaching, Rita engaged in other pursuits including
gardening, painting, stained glass art, sewing, and landscaping. Her talent
in these areas was substantial as evidenced by her colorful garden which
became a showplace of her Jefferson neighborhood. Neighbors and strangers
alike would stop at her house to witness the year-round kaleidoscope of
color in her garden. With this, she brought pleasure to many as well as
herself. As a seamstress and tailor, Rita was proud of the fact that she
never entered a department store to buy clothes because she made all of her
own. She made many clothing items for her family and friends as well.
Possessing courage and a fighting spirit, Rita was always eager to learn
new things. If told she couldn't do something, she would learn it and do it
well just to prove she could. In her 60s she enrolled in Jefferson Vo Tech
to learn carpentry and auto mechanics. With the skills learned in these
classes, she performed her own home improvements and auto servicing. Her
fighting spirit endured to the end. Stricken with Alzheimer's disease and
in failing health, Rita fought courageously against injuries and advancing
illness. It is this fighting, courageous spirit as well as her many
artistic talents for which she will be lovingly and proudly remembered. Her
son wishes to thank the caregivers at Malta Park Assisted Living, St. John
Rehab Hospital, Jefferson Healthcare, and Guardian Hospice for their
compassion and assistance throughout Rita's illness. Also, her son wishes
to extend a special thanks to Dr. Brian Creeley and the staff at East
Jefferson Hospital for their professionalism and compassion. A Memorial
Mass will be held at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Memorial Blvd.
