Winner's Circle. Amazing father and husband, Bruce, age 58, ended his suffering of nine and a half years
from a traumatic brain injury in the arms of his devoted wife and surrounded by family and the dedicated
staff of Touro Infirmary. Bruce is survived by his bride of 25 years, Karen Rodriguez Beter and the pride
and joy of his life, his two adoring children Brett Edward Beter and Christina Elizabeth Beter. Bruce
also leaves behind many loving and devoted friends and cousins. Bruce's love of sports played many roles
throughout his life. Bruce was a member of the Brother Martin High School 1969-70 Undefeated Basketball
Team that won District, State and National Championships his senior year. Bruce loved fishing and reeled
in fish from the waters of Louisiana, Texas, Florida, the Bahamas and Hawaii. His trophy catch was a 692
lb tuna caught in Bimini, Bahamas. Bruce loved football; his first date with Karen was a Saints game.
But, Bruce's most cherished sports role came as the father/ personal coach of Brett and Christina as they
participated in football, basketball, baseball, and track at Girard playground. Bruce was an Asst. Coach
for Brett's baseball team and an active parent volunteer at Girard. Bruce's passion for thoroughbred horse
racing took him to many racetracks across the United States, which included trips to attend both the
Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Bruce was the inspiration for the name of the popular multiple stakes
winning Louisiana bred horse TheBeterMan Can. Bruce loved food and music. He was a food broker for over 20
years working for several Food Distributors before switching into Parking for the New Orleans Hotel
Industry right before he was hurt. Attending Jazz Fest each year fueled Bruce's appreciation for food and
music. Bruce's love of Music was the one gift that stayed with him even after his brain injury. The Bruce
Beter Music Library and Media Center will be built at the Touro Infirmary Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit
in his honor. Bruce loved vacations on the beach and big birthday parties for his children. His favorite
song was "We are the Champions"! Bruce attended St. Francis Cabrini grammar school, graduated from Brother
Martin High School and Loyola University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. At Loyola he

professionalism demonstrated by the Touro staff members at ALL levels. Over the years there have been SO
MANY individuals that have touched their lives profoundly that they cannot begin to list names. The Beter
family is eternally grateful to everyone at Touro for every minute that they gave Bruce such world-class
care. Their passion for both their profession and to Bruce was spiritually uplifting each and every day. A

000134 BRENNAND Jane Allison Brennand, age 91, went home to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday,
August 3, 2011. She was our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and we are blessed to have
shared in her life. Jane was born on September 11, 1919 in Greenville, South Carolina, the daughter of
Margaret Booker Allison and Warren Samuel Allison. She grew up in Richmond, Virginia where she began her
lifelong walk with the Lord, attending church, Sunday school, and church camps in the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Jane attended Furman University in Greenville, and during World War II moved with her family to
Washington D.C. It was there that she met her wonderful husband of 56 years, Harold Douglas Brennand. Jane
and Harold began their married life in New Orleans, Louisiana where they built a beautiful marriage
founded on faith, anchored in their beloved Rayne Memorial Methodist Church, and focused on their "girls",
Allison and Ann. Jane was active in many organizations in New Orleans: The Orleans Club, New Orleans
Country Club, the Ladies Golf Association, McGehee School, the Petit Salon, Saint Anna's Home, Stuart
Clan, Stock Club, Daughters of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames, and Rayne Memorial Methodist
Church where she served in many capacities. Jane had a love of learning that lasted her whole life. She
was an avid reader, historian, speaker, genealogist, and author of a book on her family history, and she
shared these loves with her friends and family. She was admired wherever she went as evidenced by the
strong friendships she made in New Orleans, Houston, and most recently in San Antonio. She had the gift of
making everyone feel special, and one of her greatest joys was sharing the beautiful roses from her
garden. The times Jane spent in West Texas at the ranch were some of her most cherished memories, for she
saw God's hand in the beauty around her and His glory in the Texas sunsets. Her treasures on earth were
her family and friends, and her memory will live on in our hearts forever. Jane was preceded in death by
her husband, Harold Douglas Brennand; her parents, Margaret and Warren Allison; her brother, Robert B.
Allison of Atlanta, Georgia and her sister, Lois A. Eisinger of Potomac, Maryland. She is survived by her
daughters, Allison Brennand George and her husband, Dawson George of Houston, and Ann Brennand Watson of
San Antonio; and her grandchildren: Kathryn George Murray and her husband, Sam; Douglas Barrett George and
his wife, Katherine; Emily George Seiders and her husband, Rick; Robert Glen Watson and his wife, Lacey;
Carey Watson Hildebrand and her husband, David. Mama will be missed by her great-grandchildren: Jane,
Margaret and Claire Murray; Haylie and Madeline George; Gray Seiders; Emmy and Thomas Watson; Jackson,
Harton and Hudson Hildebrand. Psalm 91:16 "With long life I will satisfy her, and show her My salvation."

000163 BRYANT William Criss Bryant, Sr. December 25, 1934 - July 27, 2011 At some point in our lives, we
question our purpose. To us, Bill Bryant's purpose was no mystery. He taught us how to live fully and how
to laugh hard. Most of all, he taught us how to love. Through his example, our lives are better lived. We
learned that hard work and open arms will pay off in the end. That is, of course, as he would say "If the
Good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". Every word out of his smart aleck mouth brought more
laughter than most people will ever experience; whether he was telling you goodbye by saying "Plant you
now, dig you later", or saying "Hello Gorgeous" to women or "Hey Uglier than Me" to men. Our hearts could
only try and mimic the joy he, without trying, brought to us all. However, the love he radiated is what
will be remembered most. He parented five children of his own and happily parented countless others that
were drawn completely to him. He loved deeply one woman for over 54 years. He embraced this thing we call
life, learning everything it had to offer him and showed us how to love in a way we hope to carry with us.
Although we tried to help him fight, we watched our stronghold grow ever weaker and more fragile. Finally,
even though we thought he taught us everything he knew, he inspired us one last time. On Wednesday, July
27th, 2011, he showed us how to let go and be free. Free of his pain and free of his illness, he will
forever continue to be our rock, teaching us how to live, showing us how to laugh, and embracing us from
heaven with his love. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Mary Sue Thompson Bryant, his
children: Rosalyn Bryant, Criss Bryant, Wanda Bryant Cooper, and Susan Bryant-Hirsig; countless children
and grandchildren that adopted him; 9 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by
his brothers: Jack Bryant, James Bryant, Jerry Bryant, and Edison Bryant; and a sister, Dara Bryant. He
was preceded in death by his son, Roger Paul Bryant; his father, William Edison Bryant; his mothers:
Flossie Conerly Nicosia and Helen Bryant Luckowski; and his sister, Rosemary Nicosia Angelloz. A Memorial
Mass will be held Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011, 10:30 a.m. at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church, 835 Melody

000235 CRAWFORD Business and Community Leader Jerry Jene Crawford was a Texas native who became a genuine
New Orleanian, distinguishing himself in both business and community service. He was the ultimate
entrepreneur, creating and developing niches in sales, distribution, manufacturing, and service in the
manufactured housing industry in New Orleans, Atlanta and Longview, Texas. Following active and inactive
service in the U. S. Coast Guard, he worked in Michigan/Ohio in the finance business which brought him to
New Orleans. Representing Michigan National Bank, Mr. Crawford was responsible for their portfolio in the
Gulf Coast region, as New Orleans lending institutions were not financing mobile homes at that time.
Recognizing a need, he created Jerry Crawford Adjusters, Inc., a collection agency with offices in New
Orleans and Atlanta. Ten years later, he sold that business, and opened Crawford Distributing Company,
Inc. in Elmwood Industrial Park, and was recognized nationally as a top distributor of air con! ditioning
and heating, appliances, parts and supplies catering to the manufactured housing industry. As a Board
Member and President of the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Association, he helped craft legislation which
mandated higher standards in the industry. With his brother's retirement from the military as a career
officer, he also became co-owner of Longview Mobile Homes, and was a partner in Beyer-Beeson Insurance
Agency, Inc. in New Orleans. In 1992, Mr. Crawford entered a new field and became a partner in Coogan-
Crawford & Associates, Inc., selling animated message centers, scoreboards, and signs. He retired
following Katrina and the onset of Alzheimer's. A strong believer in community service, he served as Board
Member and President of the Ferran Place-Courtland Heights Civic Association, and was appointed to the
Jefferson Parish Planning Advisory Board on which he served for ten years. Mr. Crawford was then
appointed to the East Jefferson Hospital Board of Directors, where he served for 17 years as a board
member, officer, and Chairman. He spearheaded the alliance of hospitals with EJGH, West Jefferson,
Ochsner, Touro, Pendleton Memorial, St. Tammany and Slidell Memorial Hospital to stave off the sale of not
for profits to for profit organizations. Upon retirement, for his service to the hospital, he was honored
with the naming of the Crawford Conference Center in the Domino Pavilion. He was also honored as a Great
Gentleman by the Auxiliary. A long time supporter of Lafreniere Park. Mr. Crawford was asked by parish
administration to form a new fund raising arm of the park, and Patrons of Lafreniere Park, Inc. wa! s
born. As Chairman for five years, he spearheaded the fundraising for construction of the Carousel. He was
honored as "Lafreniere Park Person of the Year" for his efforts and remained active. Mr. Crawford also
supported the Jefferson Community School since its beginning, and was honored for his support. One of 10
original members of the Kings Club for the Argus Carnival Organizations, he reigned as King Argus V on
Mardi Gras Day in Jefferson Parish. He was also Irish Grand Marshall in the Irish-Italian Organization.
He remained active in both organizations until his illness. Mr. Crawford is survived by his wife of 43
years, Mary Virginia Spitzfaden Crawford, two sons, Garrett Glen II (Alexandra) and Christopher Tucker, a
brother, Jack Glen Crawford (Georgia) of Longview, Texas and a sister Barbara Rhodes (James) of
Shreveport, Louisiana, brother-in-law of Paul R. Spitzfaden, Jr. and sister-in-law, Linda Diane Reed (Dr.

000266 DeSONIER Louis Gonzaga "Skipper" DeSonier III, PhD, age 64, a lifelong sailor, born November 8,
1946, in New Orleans, LA, died suddenly of a heart attack on August 7, 2011, at his home in Tunnel
Springs, Alabama. Louis earned his B.S. degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, his M.S.
degree from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, and his Ph.D. from Florida State University. Louis
loved being a psychologist and touched the lives of many people who will miss him. Music was integral to
his life; and, he was a voracious reader who never tired of learning. But, his passion was sailing in his
yacht, Starship. He loved being the captain of his ship and simply being on the water whether it was at
anchor or racing to Mexico. His fondest memories were of sailing trips he shared with his sailing buddies.
After Hurricane Ivan destroyed his boat, Louis learned that wonderful things could happen away from the
water. He loved learning to create what he called his "park," the grounds surrounding his Alabama home.
And, he found that riding a mower was akin to sailing. When he learned a new skill around the park, he
was quite pleased with himself. He was so proud of his bees and the honey they produced, as well as his
chickens and their eggs. But, his best new love was Daisy, the dog who found him. Louis leaves his wife
of 36 year, Marcia DeSonier; his stepsons: Michael Kenty, PhD, of Memphis, TN and John Kenty of Colorado
Springs, CO; his mother, Beverly deVerges DeSonier of Lake Charles, LA; his brothers: Keith F. DeSonier,
MD, (Dale) also of Lake Charles, and James P. DeSonier (Cindy) of Mandeville, LA; and his sister, Kim
DeSonier Duckworth of New Orleans as well as numerous nieces and a nephew. Louis is the son of the late
Judge Louis G. DeSonier, Jr. The world was a better place with Louis in it. He will be deeply missed by
all who were lucky enough to know and love him. A private celebration of his life will be scheduled. In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Southern Poverty Law Center, 400 Washington Avenue,

University, and in 1982 received a B.S. in Psychology from Loyola. She would not know how significant her
MSW training would beomce until 1982 when her daughter Lara was murdered at the age of twelve. Carol then
formed Parents of Murdered Children with a mission to assist parents through the grieving process and the
Criminial Justice System. In 1990, Carol joined forces with Victims and Citizens Against Crime, Inc., and
devoted her life to creating laws to ensure victims and their families had rights in Louisiana. One such
law created a state hotline for victims/families to be informed of the continuous status of the offernder
who had forever changed their families' lives. Carol was also instrumental in the creation of new laws
such as requiring Victim Assistance Coordinators in District Attorney's offices throughout the state,
assisting in rewriting Criminal Statues and creating laws to hold criminal offenders more accountable,
including requiring violent offenders to serve 85% of their sentences. During the 90's, she was also a
tireless fundraiser for VCAC, including chairing its annual appreciation banquet held at the Balcony, in
Metairie to recognize those individuals who worked within the Criminal Justice System who assisted
victims/families through its process. Carol's inherent love of animals was another of her life's passions.
She joined Tricia Boudoin in working on behalf of abused animals which created for them a sisterhood, a
long time friendship, and a strong bond. Together they joined hands to assist P.A.W.S., the Plaquemines
Animal Welfare Society, a local "no kill" animal shelter through donations and volunteer work. Carol's
home became a refuge for unwanted and abused dogs. She leaves behind four of those dogs: C.D., Ame', Zeb,
and Dizzy. Due to the aforementioned strong alliance to assist and nurture foundling animals and other
related causes, Tricia became Carol's earthly angel, serving as her caretaker in the last months of her
life, and present at her passing. Carol was compassionte, loving and generous, living her life with
genuine joy and hope in her heart that she made life "better" for all who crossed her path and loved her.
She leaves a valuable legacy for all to emulate. Carol is survived by her son, Dana Marc Deutsch and his
wife, Julia; and grandchildren: Lara and Jaime of Metairie, LA; her brothers and a sister: Dennis Kinard
and his wife, Joann; Becky Giglio and her husband, Vincent; David Schellinger and his wife, Tong Li all of
Tampa, FL; many nieces and nephews; and a legion of devoted friends throughout the country. Family and
friends are grateful to Canon Hospice and A First Name Basis for the outstanding, compassionate and loving
care that their employees provided for Carol during the last days of her life. We are forever indebted to
them. Carol's life will be honored during a private Memorial Service to be held at a future date and place
according to her expressed wish. Those interested in making a memorial contribution in Carol's name may do
so to: P.A.W.S., P.O. Box 83, Belle Chasse, LA 70037, (504) 392-1602. "There are two great days in a

000298 DUPLER Jackette Richerson Dupler of Spring, Texas passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 27th
at Methodist Hospital in the Houston Medical Center where she was surrounded by her loving family. She was
born on January 10, 1944 in New Orleans, LA and has been a resident of Texas for the past 21 years. She is
survived by her devoted husband, Philip C Dupler; a son, Richard David Dupler of Oakland, CA; a son, Todd
Franklin Dupler, his wife Chimene, and their three daughters, the light of Jackie's life, Reagan, Jordan,
& Riley Dupler, of Washington, D.C.; three sisters: Paulette Flanagan, (Daniel); Lynette Goux, (Ronald); &
Gaylette Foster (Russell); two nephews Timothy Goux and Jeremy Goux; one niece, Lena Farr (Stuart); one
great-nephew Jack Farr; cousins Barbara Simmons (James) and their children Paul & Abigayle; loving members
of her Dupler family along with countless friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Richard Walter
Richerson and Lena Day Richerson. Jackette graduated from Warren Easton High School in New Orleans which
was followed by a secretarial science degree from Soule College, also in New Orleans. She was an
accomplished executive secretary for many years before retiring to become a full time wife and mother to
her two sons. After a move to Lafayette in 1976, she became very involved with women's clubs, auxiliaries,
and church activities. She loved to plan & host special events. After moving to Houston in 1989, she
enjoyed yet another career when she became an administrative assistant in the world of financial planning.
But her love for interior design tugged at her heart & she channeled her talents in that direction. Her
design business was quite a success and something she thoroughly enjoyed. In recent years, her time and
talent turned towards giving. She devoted herself to helping others and found immense joy in doing so.
Jackie was known by all her friends to be a planner, an organizer, a decorator, and an accomplished
shopper. She enjoyed travelling, especially cruises. Much of her time and energies were directed to
spoiling her three adorable granddaughters. She loved the Lord above all, and her involvement with her
church family filled her heart with gladness. A special thanks to Dr. Howard Monsour, Jr. for the medical
expertise he provided Jackette for so many years. The family wishes to convey their gratitude for the
devotion he exhibited to her care as she courageously fought her battle against Hepatitis 'C'. Visitation

sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."

Frabbiele (Barbara), Jeannie Dufrene (Cecil), and Judy Beechler (Fred). Jack began his legacy as the
grandson of Sicilian immigrants and loved his Italian heritage. As a young man he chose to enroll in the
Marine Corps and served in the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton. He was proud to be a Private First
Class in the Amtrak's Division. He met Joan, the love of his life, as a teenager. Both of them had movie
star faces and were a smashing couple. Jack spent 32 years working for NOPSI(Entergy). He eagerly
anticipated retirement so that he could spend his time with family and at his camp. Jack absolutely loved
the time he spent in Lafitte fishing. There weren't many things he enjoyed more than taking Chico or Ziggy
for a ride down to the camp to cut the grass or catch some dinner. Jack's many friends helped him enjoy
his life and gave him many good times. Jack had many struggles after his diagnosis but with each hurdle he
fought like a former Marine would have battled an enemy. Jack reached out to God for strength and support
and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. This relationship helped him greatly. He is alive forevermore
since Jesus paid his full penalty. The family wishes to thank Doctors Russo, Gurtler, and Monsour for
their skill and expertise in his treatment. They would also like to express gratitude towards the nurses
and staff at East Jefferson General Hospital in making his journey to Heaven peaceful. Josie Lanzatta and

000614 MATHENEY On Wednesday, July 27, 2011, the Supreme Architect of the universe, in his infinite
wisdom, called from labor to reward, Bishop Roy Eason Matheney, Sr. Bishop Matheney's life was one of
servanthood and faith. He was an exemplary leader with a heart for people from all walks of life. He was a
mentor and father of the gospel to many pastors, elders, and evangelists. Although Bishop Matheney's
father was a prominent leader in the African Methodist Episcopal church, he was most influenced by his
Pentecostal mother who guided, cheered, and chastised him into the leader he was to become. Bishop
Matheney was constantly taken to church where he was trained in many aspects of the ministry. Although he
knew how to lecture, he had never preached until a special night in 1955 in Dermott, AR. While visiting a
service in Dermott, Bishop Matheney was invited to bring the message. Although he was not sure about his
call to preach, God gave him the confirmation when he opened his bible to St. John 15:16, "Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fruit." This night not
only changed his life, but it would later change the lives of thousands. Several years passed and Bishop
Matheney, Sr. became one of the youngest ordained Elders in the Arkansas area for the Churches Of God In
Christ. He worked diligently to establish himself before his church superiors. For several years he held
three positions; full-time employee at Georgia Pacific, contracted custodial worker, and minister. Bishop
Matheney continued to live by faith. This was exemplified in many of his actions such as leaving his job
in 1969 to go into ministry full-time, building a new church with very little money, traveling back and
forth to pastor two churches that were approximately three hours apart, and building and navigating a
Jurisdiction as Bishop, while still striving to be a faithful father and husband at home. Bishop
Matheney's life exuded faithfulness, a heartfelt ministry bringing others to Christ. Bishop Matheney was a
man of faith. He lived his life standing on the Word of God. Standing firm on Phillipians 4:13, "I can do
all things through Christ, which strengthens me", he truly believed that he could get any job done with
the help of the Lord and was not afraid to move forward in the visions that God gave him. He was a man
among men, a true servant of God, exemplary leader, advocate for the downtrodden and Disciple of Christ.
Since his birth, seventy-five years ago, Bishop Matheney's life has been inextricably centered on the
Church. Bishop Matheney was preceded in death by his parents Mr. Willie and Missionary Jewil Matheney, his
sister, Mrs. Bernice Veal and brother, Mr. James Matheney. Survivors include a loving wife of fifty-five
years, Mrs. Verleen Danzy Matheney; six sons, Supt. Roy (Dana) Matheney, Elder Ricky (Lisa) Matheney, and
Mr. Ralph Matheney, all of Crossett, AR; Elder Ronald (Helen) Matheney, of Camden, AR, Elder Rodney
Matheney of Conway, AR, and Dr. Robert "Dennis" (Beverly) Matheney of New Orleans, LA; one daughter, Dr.
Roselyn "Connie" (David) St. Etienne of New Orleans, LA; two sisters; Missionary Yvonne Rucker, Missionary
Lois (Robert) Cole both Los Angeles, CA; three brothers; Mr. Eddie Earl Matheney of Atlanta, GA; Bishop
Willie Joe (Jean) Matheney of New Port Richey, FL; and Mr. Marvin Matheney of Sacramento, CA; twenty
grandchildren; LaTonya, Toya, Tiffany, Stephanie, Natalie, Patrice, Alicia, Myesha, Shambrhee, Candice,
Chloe, Jarrod, Aaron, Gabriel, Zachary, Judah, Benjamin, Keith, David, and Daniel; two great
grandchildren; Nicholas and Vaelyn; a special aunt, Mrs. Novella Lewis of Little Rock, AR; the Danzy
family, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. A wake will be held Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 5pm-7pm
at Davis Memorial Church Of God In Christ, Crossett, AR. The Civic and Jurisdictional Service will be held
Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 7pm at El Dorado Municipal Auditorium, El Dorado, AR. The official National

Matheney Sr. will be held Friday, August 5, 2011, 11:00 am at El Dorado Municipal Auditorium, El Dorado,

Goes", a unique restaurant in the French Quarter years ago. He also supervised the construction of a Ruby
Tuesday's restaurant in the Lakeside Mall, which is now a P.F. Chang's. Although Harry was quiet and
reserved, he possessed unmatched wit, humor, and wisdom. He was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to
meet him. He was always honest, truthful, and unwavering in his ideals. He was always there for his
family. His love for his daughter, grandchildren, sister, nieces and all family members was without
boundaries. Harry was the most honorable of men and a true ! gentleman. He is dearly loved by his

000681 NEWMAN Richard "Bert" Newman, Sr., surrounded by his family "In God's Grace", passed away
peacefully at his home in Slidell, LA on Thursday, August 25, 2011 at age 84 from complications of a
stroke. Our dad could teach golf, was a great storyteller, played the spoons like none other, never turned
down a fishing trip and loved to dance with mom. He was born on June 8, 1927, attended school in Fernwood,
MS and Biloxi High School where he met and fell in love with Frances Saucier on the basketball court. He
attended Perkinston Jr. College on a football scholarship and joined the U.S. Army where he served as a
Tech Sergeant from 1946-1948. Married our mom and began working at Keesler AFB as an electrical lineman
for 16 years. During those years dad was awarded 3 separate accommodations for saving lives, some of his
most proud moments. Dad was a real jock; he loved and played football, basketball, boxing and of course
his real love was golf, he started caddying at the Edgewater Golf Club in Biloxi at the age of 15. He took
the opportunity to become Club Pro at Lakeside Country Club in Gulfport at age 39. He continued his new
career to the Broadwater Sun Course in Biloxi as the Club Pro. In 1970, dad was certified as a PGA Golf
Professional and moved on as Golf Professional in Franklinton, LA, Picayune, MS, Vicksburg, MS, and Eden
Isles Golf Club in Slidell, LA. After Eden Isles closed its doors, dad began exclusively teaching at Royal
Golf Club in Slidell until June of 2010. Dad was a teacher and great steward of the game of golf. Dad was
very proud of winning the Gulf States Section PGA Senior Championship for 4 years, and winning the PGA
Gulf States Section Teacher of the Year in 1990 but his greatest accomplishment in the golf work, he would
say was teaching youth the fame of golf and watching them go on to win golf scholarship's and pursue the
game for their own career. Even one of dad's grandsons followed in his footsteps by becoming a
Superintendent of a golf course, another of dad's titles. Dad was baptized a Baptist and belonged to First
Baptist Church in Slidell, LA. He was the 1955 Past Master of the Polar Star Lodge #021 in Handsboro, MS.
Bert Newman was preceded in death by his parents: Fred and Ollie (Ladnier) Newman; and his sister, Ruth
Newman Agnew of California. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Frances Saucier Newman; brother, Ralph
(Ann) Newman of Ocala, FL, and Fred (Peggy) Newman of Gulfport, MS; children: Nancy Newman D'Angelo of
Pass Christian, MS, Jan Newman Rasche of Grand Coteau, LA, and Richard (Marsha) Newman, Jr. of
Franklinton, LA; four grandsons: Jim Rasche, Charlie (April) D'Angelo, Scott (Barron) Newman and Ricky
Newman; five great-grandchildren: Brittany Rasche, Ashlynn D'Angelo, Kaylee D'Angelo, Brooks Newman and

following a seven month battle with glioblastoma, the worst form of brain cancer. The family left no stone
unturned in their attempt to save her, and she hung on valiantly through all of her taxing therapy to try
to beat this most horrible of cancers. She fought by undergoing surgery, radiation, and extensive
chemotherapy. In the end, the tumor won. A 1973 graduate of H. Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University
with a degree in mathematics and art, she married the love her life, Thomas Planchard. The two had a
storybook relationship and marriage that lasted 39 years. Tom was honored and privileged to have been her
husband and to have shared her life. The family will never be the same without her. Following their
marriage, Nancy began a fulfilling life that included teaching school, being an Air Force wife, managing
her husband's ophthalmology practice for 30 years and raising a wonderful family with four brilliant
children. She set the standard for being a loving mother, wife and business partner. Together Nancy and
Tom built an ophthalmology practice in Bossier, hoping that some of their children would join their father
in "the family business." Nancy always treated their patients and their employees like family. Nancy
nurtured intelligent and caring children who loved her as much as she loved them. When she departed to
join her dear parents and eldest son, Larry, in death, she left behind her husband, Tom; her sons, Dr.
Brian Planchard, an ophthalmologist and cornea subspecialist, who recently returned to join his father's
practice; Jeffrey Planchard of New Orleans, a student at Tulane School of Medicine and Freeman School of
Business, and her precious daughter, Emily Planchard of Washington, D.C., who recently received a master's
degree from George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs. Also left to honor her
memory are her brother, Ira Herman of Huntington, West Va., and many cousins and other family members.
Nancy was a life-long football fan and travelled every home game to see her beloved Saints. The family
shared many happy moments at the games, especially the Super Bowl win. The family wishes to thank the
thousands of people who prayed for her in the Ark-La-Tex and around the country. Special thanks go to Dr.
Art Day and Dr. Jay Zhu at University of Texas Medical Center, Houston, along with Dr. Bipin Turakhia, Dr.

unturned in their attempt to save her, and she hung on valiantly through all of her taxing therapy to try
to beat this most horrible of cancers. She fought by undergoing surgery, radiation, and extensive
chemotherapy. In the end, the tumor won. A 1973 graduate of H. Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University
with a degree in mathematics and art, she married the love her life, Thomas Planchard. The two had a
storybook relationship and marriage that lasted 39 years. Tom was honored and privileged to have been her
husband and to have shared her life. The family will never be the same without her. Following their
marriage, Nancy began a fulfilling life that included teaching school, being an Air Force wife, managing
her husband's ophthalmology practice for 30 years and raising a wonderful family with four brilliant
children. She set the standard for being a loving mother, wife and business partner. Together Nancy and
Tom built an ophthalmology practice in Bossier, hoping that some of their children would join their father
in "the family business." Nancy always treated their patients and their employees like family. Nancy
nurtured intelligent and caring children who loved her as much as she loved them. When she departed to
join her dear parents and eldest son, Larry, in death, she left behind her husband, Tom; her sons, Dr.
Brian Planchard, an ophthalmologist and cornea subspecialist, who recently returned to join his father's
practice; Jeffrey Planchard of New Orleans, a student at Tulane School of Medicine and Freeman School of
Business, and her precious daughter, Emily Planchard of Washington, D.C., who recently received a master's
degree from George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs. Also left to honor her
memory are her brother, Ira Herman of Huntington, West Va., and many cousins and other family members.
Nancy was a life-long football fan and travelled every home game to see her beloved Saints. The family
shared many happy moments at the games, especially the Super Bowl win. The family wishes to thank the
thousands of people who prayed for her in the Ark-La-Tex and around the country. Special thanks go to Dr.
Art Day and Dr. Jay Zhu at University of Texas Medical Center, Houston, along with Dr. Bipin Turakhia, Dr.
Sanjeevi Tivakaran and Dr Paul Jordan at WK Bossier Health Center, Dr. Michael Moore, Dr. James S. Welsh

000840 SHELBY Jo Gwin Shelby of New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on Monday, August 29, 2011 of
complications from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), surrounded by her family at her daughter's home in
Greenwich, Connecticut. Jo Gwin, whose family were early settlers in the Mississippi Delta, was born on
August 3, 1946 to the late Gwin and Nan Wilkinson Shelby of Shelby, Mississippi. Jo Gwin attended Shelby
High School and graduated from Lausanne School for Girls in 1964. She graduated from Sophie Newcomb
College of Tulane University in 1969, where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. In 1969
she began her teaching career at Metairie Park Country Day School. In 1987 she left teaching to study law,
receiving her Juris Doctor with Law Review honors from Loyola Law School in 1990. After clerking for two
years for federal judges, she realized her passion was teaching and returned to the classroom. She taught
middle school history until 2004, when she was diagnosed with ALS. She remained on the staff at Country
Day until 2007. For ten years, Jo Gwin was a faithful member of the Saint Charles Avenue Baptist Church,
where she served as a deacon. She frequently volunteered as a tutor at Café Reconcile. A tri-athlete and
marathoner, she competed in numerous triathlons and six mara-thons, including the Boston Marathon in 1982.
In 2010 the Jo Gwin Shelby Endowed Fund for Financial Aid at Metairie Park Country Day School was
established in her honor by friends, family, faculty and former students. Her legacy as a teacher and
beloved member of the Country Day community will live on through this endowment and all of the many lives
she touched. Jo Gwin was greatly respected by all who knew her for her vitality, intellect and wit. She
had an adventurous and cheerful spirit, was an avid reader, and loved going to the movies. Later in life,
she became an amateur ornithologist. Jo Gwin lived her life fully and unafraid, with gusto and passion,
head and heart fully engaged in the quest for a life well lived. She will be deeply and dearly missed by
all who knew her. A loving and devoted mother and grandmother, Jo Gwin is survived by her daughter Shelby
Mayhew Saer, son-in-law John K. Saer, Jr., three grandchildren Kenneth, Tobin and Julia; and her faithful
service dog Lolly. Jo Gwin is also survived by her sisters Becky Smith (Pearman) of Cleveland,
Mississippi, and Bobbie Lou Green (Gardiner) of Fairhope, Alabama, along with five nieces and nephews. Her
family wants to express their appreciation to her many close friends; her loving caregivers Linda Jones
Bastian and Malou Gramaje, along with Janie Gage, Gail O'Brian, Jennifer Hewitt, Sherisse Lewis, and Megan
Matthews; and to both Greenwich Hospice and the Johns Hopkins ALS Clinic for the expert medical care and
loving kindness they provided to Jo Gwin. Memorial Services will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on

000958 WHITMAN Robert Francis Whitman, Sr. quietly entered eternal life on the 8th day of August, 2011 at
the age of 86. He was the devoted husband of Miriam Benson Whitman for over sixty years and the beloved
father of eight children: Robert, Jr. (Sharon), Judy, Michael, Gerry (Serena), Wayne (Diane), Ken "Murphy"
Whitman, Joan Abadie (Keith) and Laura Waguespack (Chris - deceased). He was also the cherished
grandfather of sixteen: Shannon, Jessica, Melissa, Lauren, Patrick, Leigh, Chris, Ashley, Greg, Katie,
Robbie, Michele, Jaclyn, Matthew, Austin, and Jared and great-grandfather of nine. He was the son of the
late Harold Whitman, Sr. and the late Clara Schott Whitman and the brother of five: Harold, Jr., Melvin,
Marcel Whitman, Evelyn Wagner and Winnie Jacob. At the age of 18, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Marines and
proudly served his country during World War II in the Pacific at Guadalcanal, Guam, and Iwo Jima. That
experience shaped his character and integrity for the rest of his life. At war's end, he entered Tulane
University, participated on both football and baseball teams and served as captain of the baseball team
his senior year. During his senior year, he also coached the freshman baseball team. He graduated with a
Bachelor of Education degree in 1950, intent on a lifelong career in his true passion, football. He lived
his dream, first marrying his "girl" Miriam and moving to St. Francisville to teach and coach high school
and then up to Perkinston Junior College, MS. After a year of each, he was called to coach at his beloved
alma mater, Tulane, for nine years. Opting not to move his then-family of nine out of town, he again
taught and coached at another level: East Jefferson High School. When the New Orleans Saints came to town,
he worked for them part time until accepting a position as Pro Scout, eventually becoming Head Scout.
Leaving the Saints in 1983, he had five job offers from the NFL and college teams, which he credited to
his deep faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. After 15 years with the Saints, he took a scouting position with
the Division-rival San Francisco 49ers, garnering three Super Bowl rings in four years and then retiring
in 1994. In his later years, he was a member and past president of the "Good Ole Metairie Boys" and helped
his son coach girls' basketball and softball at De LaSalle High School. He was a lifelong member of St.

000959 WHITMAN Robert Francis Whitman, Sr. quietly entered eternal life on the 8th day of August, 2011 at
the age of 86. He was the devoted husband of Miriam Benson Whitman for over sixty years and the beloved
father of eight children: Robert, Jr. (Sharon), Judy, Michael, Gerry (Serena), Wayne (Diane), Ken "Murphy"
Whitman, Joan Abadie (Keith) and Laura Waguespack (Chris - deceased). He was also the cherished
grandfather of sixteen: Shannon, Jessica, Melissa, Lauren, Patrick, Leigh, Chris, Ashley, Greg, Katie,
Robbie, Michele, Jaclyn, Matthew, Austin, and Jared and great-grandfather of nine. He was the son of the
late Harold Whitman, Sr. and the late Clara Schott Whitman and the brother of five: Harold, Jr., Melvin,
Marcel Whitman, Evelyn Wagner and Winnie Jacob. At the age of 18, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Marines and
proudly served his country during World War II in the Pacific at Guadalcanal, Guam, and Iwo Jima. That
experience shaped his character and integrity for the rest of his life. At war's end, he entered Tulane
University, participated on both football and baseball teams and served as captain of the baseball team
his senior year. During his senior year, he also coached the freshman baseball team. He graduated with a
Bachelor of Education degree in 1950, intent on a lifelong career in his true passion, football. He lived
his dream, first marrying his "girl" Miriam and moving to St. Francisville to teach and coach high school
and then up to Perkinston Junior College, MS. After a year of each, he was called to coach at his beloved
alma mater, Tulane, for nine years. Opting not to move his then-family of nine out of town, he again
taught and coached at another level: East Jefferson High School. When the New Orleans Saints came to town,
he worked for them part time until accepting a position as Pro Scout, eventually becoming Head Scout.
Leaving the Saints in 1983, he had five job offers from the NFL and college teams, which he credited to
his deep faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. After 15 years with the Saints, he took a scouting position with
the Division-rival San Francisco 49ers, garnering three Super Bowl rings in four years and then retiring
in 1994. In his later years, he was a member and past president of the "Good Ole Metairie Boys" and helped
his son coach girls' basketball and softball at De LaSalle High School. He was a lifelong member of St.
Benilde Catholic Church, serving as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister for many years. He enjoyed spending
most of his time with his family, as they were his greatest achievement. Family and friends are invited to
attend visitation from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 Noon at ST. BENILDE CATHOLIC CHURCH. A Mass of Christian

Wednesday evening, August 24th, 2011. Spending most of his life on either the East- or Westbank of

personality. His sense of humor made him an instant hit at parties, bar-b-ques, and crawfish boils. He was
a do-it-right the first time kind of guy, never settling for good enough. The pride he took in his efforts
were displayed in all endeavors in which he involved himself. He leaves behind a beloved fiancé Sue
Barrouse; children April, Sean, Robert the 4th (Rob), Nikki; grandchildren Maycie, Daniel; siblings
William (Suzanne), Luvenia (Joe), Jon (Glenda), Errol (Tammy), Sheryl, Patricia, Dotty; as well as many

000988 WOODS -Kenneth Woods LCDR (Ret.) of Luther Woods Convalescent Center, died Wednesday, August 10,
2011. He was 86. Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Michael and Emma Woods (Langrebe).
He was preceded in death by brothers: Robert, Joseph, William; and a sister Jeanne (Desher). Ken was
originally from the Juniata Park section of Philadelphia and of Kenner, Lousiana. A 1943 graduate of
Frankford High school and the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1947. A hurricane Katrina survivor, he returned
to Pennsylvania in 2005 and resided in Jamison, Bucks County. Upon leaving the Naval Academy and prior to
attending Submarine School, Ken served onboard the USS Houston (CL-81), USS Coral Sea (CVB-43), and the
USS LST 912. Upon completion of his surface assignments, he attended, and graduated from, the U.S. Naval
Submarine School at New London, CT. His first submarine assignments were on USS Tilefish (SS-307), USS
Stickleback (SS-415), Executive Officer on USS Sea Cat (SS-399), and Commanding Officer of the USS Sea
Lion (APSS-315). In 1960 he was chosen to plan and execute a unique two-year oceanographic survey that
extended from the Arctic Ocean to the South Pacific. By a masterpiece of good planning, Ken negotiated
with COMSUBLANT for an all bachelor crew. His reasoning was sound, the ship was to operate almost
continuously away from home port and the undue strain this would place on families would also place a
strain on the operation of the ship. The bachelor make-up of the crew gave rise to a reputation for the
ship that tended to overshadow her very real accomplishments. During two years of survey work under his
command, Archerfish took more ocean gravity readings than all other surveys combined since Fridtjof Nansen
took the first readings on the Fram in 1903. After Ken left Archerfish in 1962 he went to the Board of
Inspection and Survey, a tour in Germany, and then to shore duty in Naples. Upon completing his naval
career Ken returned stateside to reside in Connecticut where he held various jobs before his final career
with Houston Marine in Kenner, Louisiana. For over 20 years he helped mariners obtain Coast Guard
licenses. He was employed full time until his middle 70s and then continued at Houston Marine on a part
time basis. Surviving are his children: Kenneth R. Woods (Louise) Horsham, PA, Donna Woods Ritting (Ray),
Doylestown, PA and John Woods (Donna Huch) Dallas, TX. He is also survived by 6 grandchildren: Christian
Woods of Lansdale, PA, Todd Ritting of Warrington, PA, David Woods (Amy) of Perkasie, PA, Dr. Drew Ritting
of Hartford CT, Jennifer Woods Zwetolitz (Matthew) of Lansdale, PA, and Stefanie Woods of Hor-sham, PA; a
great-grandchild, Audrey Elise Woods of Perkasie, PA; and a nephew, William T. Woods II of Emmaus, PA
Funeral Services with interment will be held Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. with Full Honors in
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA. Memorial contributions in memory of Kenneth Woods may be sent
