She was a homemaker, a very talented artist and was known for her quick wit, strong passion in her Catholic faith and for being the sweetest mother and grandmother in the world. Elizabeth battled Alzheimer's for many years which progressively worsened over the past 1 year and 8 months since the loss of her husband and the love of her life of 61 years, Joseph David Babin. Because of Elizabeth's inability to remember that her "J" had passed away, our family decided to not make her continually suffer in re-learning about his death but decided to tell her that he was out running errands or was working at their house and that he would pick her up later. Many times throughout the day, she would attempt and sometimes successfully call their old home phone number to remind him to come pick her up and would prepare for his arrival by packing up her belongings. On Sunday, June 16, 2013, God finally answered her call and allowed her husband, our father, granddad and great granddad to finally take her home.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Gillespie Godfrey Boyd, Sr. and Geraldine Price Boyd. His life was enriched by his numerous close friends whom he treasured throughout all of his years. Samuel Boyd began his long and distinguished career as an educator in the St. Bernard Parish Public Schools in 1970 as a social studies teacher at St. Bernard High School. He quickly rose to the position of Assistant Principal in 1975 and assumed the role of principal of St. Bernard High School in 1982.

It was the position from which he was to retire in July after 43 years of exemplary service. Superintendent of Schools Doris Voitier called Mr. Boyd, "truly a distinguished educator who put the needs of students first. He was a gifted administrator whom we knew we would miss after his retirement, but now we have an even greater void in our lives because of his death. The school district will miss this legend."

So many of her scrap books, which were lost in hurricane Katrina, chronicled the frequent parties, weddings and showers that we all so enjoyed. Over the last few years she continued her gathering of memories with new scrapbooks and pictures which we will always treasure.

She was the daughter of Eugie Hansford Holder and Charles B. Holder. Vonda had an elder sister, Eloise and younger sister, Bobbie. She attended Louin High School and Jones County Junior College. Vonda joined her childhood sweetheart, Charles, who was stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, traveling by train cross country. They were married on December 3, 1942. Their marriage was blessed with four children. Mom was an old fashioned mother-a 50's kind of woman. She believed in simple things and hard work; no whining, just getting the job done. Her biggest job was raising her four children, Ron, Linda, Debbie and Janice. Four kids, one salary, one phone and eventually one car. In later years I would be amazed to realize how far mom was able to stretch that one salary, but then I would realize her methods. She made all the girls' clothes, sometimes sewing until well into the night to have new dresses for us to wear to school the next day. We had a wonderful backyard garden which provided fresh vegetables that were very economical. Because we only had one car which dad used for work, we walked everywhere, including trips to the A & P, coming back with bags loaded with groceries. Mom could cook anything and her cooking was still the envy of all the family even at 89 years of age. Mom didn't drop us off at church, she went with us, showing not telling us the importance of a Christian life. For all the above reasons and countless others, we will treasure her memory forever, as will her seven grandchildren.

Macy was born in New Orleans November 12, 1920, and her promise of eternal peace came at the age of 92. Mrs. Demma had various titles; Macy, Momma, Aunt Macy, and Maw-Maw Demma. She was a life-time homemaker with a special knack to always give comfort and promise through faith. Even though she had trials and tribulations of her own she always put your concerns first; nothing could ever break the power in her faith. From her kitchen table, she touched so many lives. She was always a kitchen chair or a phone call away to reassure you that things will get better and to keep your faith. She loved to cook and at her table she fed a wide-range of people and never treated anyone differently. She never met an animal that wasn't fed nor was loved. Born, raised, and lived in New Orleans and resided in Metairie to be closer to her family as time started to slow her down. She leaves us with the words of, "Everything happens for a reason", "God will never give you more than you can handle". "Keep praying, but when the good lord raises his hand; it's time", and "You never say goodbye, just simply see you later." In her last moments Mrs. Demma, reassured her family of these sayings with a smile on her face as she passed. Special thanks to the staff of St. Anthony Nursing Home and the compassionate care of River Regions Hospice. The family had a private memorial and burial at Metairie Cemetery. Mrs. Demma said in lieu of flowers, donations, and masses, "Pray for someone, forgive someone, help someone in need, and never question your faith". A special request is to live by the 8 beatitudes and remember the poem of The Footprints in the Sand.

Prudence is requesting of friends, family and coworkers to please join her at Richard's memorial, where an informal gathering with food and drink, will be held in his honor at Snug Harbor, 2nd floor. Richard's last request was that in lieu of flowers, if possible a tree be planted in remembrance of his life. This fall, Prudence and friends will be organizing a tree planting of native cypress trees in dedication and in memory of Richard at the Barataria Preserve. Richard G. Gagnier was born in French speaking, Montreal, Quebec, Canada on April 17, 1949. Early in life he moved to the U.S., where he became an American citizen and served in this country's military. In the 1970's, Richard moved to New Orleans, becoming a successful business owner and jeweler in the French Quarter, where he worked for over three decades. Richard's life was defined by his craftsmanship and artist as a jeweler; he had an eye for beauty and good design, which became his trademark. He reveled in living in the French Quarter, and daily prepared his St. Peter St. store, Bedazzle for business, taking great pride in its appearance as always was he the consummate entrepreneur serving his clients. One and the same he talked with friends and strangers, speaking French and helping visitors find their way in the city. He was a jazz lover and was as New Orleanian as they come, being both a great cook and hostess, whose parties at his place in the Quarter were truly memorable. Some of his best memories where of the times he visited and fished with the Kuna Indians of Panama, who lovingly calling him "coco bolo" (the man with no hair.) Richard also had an amazingly special kinship with animals, almost as if he was an "animal whisperer" of sorts. And, if a dog could cry, surely my dog Lucky would be shedding tears, as everyday he looks for him to come in the door. Richard was able to fix just about anything, and in his own words, said "I can fix anything, but a broken heart." In the last few years, I was blessed to be the benefactor of his new love of gardening and feeding the birds; he delighted in learning about the natural world, and my yard showed his gift of a green thumb. One of his last requests was to have a tree planted in his remembrance, and that his ashes be returned to the earth from which we all come. Richard was a true friend that you could count on through thick and thin, honest beyond reproach, he would give you his last dime if he befriended you. Richard was a man of great character, a warm and friendly soul who was as generous as he was incredibly kind, and will be dearly missed by his many friends and family. Richard was a loving father and is survived by his children, Alexandra Genevieve and Zachary Richard Gagnier; his mother Madeline and a brother, Norman Gagnier of FL., and his oldest brother Michel Gagnier lives in New Orleans. Richard G. Gagnier now passes from this world into another. In the end he had neither money nor gold, but his abundance of riches lay in those of us who loved and cherished him, and therein laid his fortune, that is in the hearts of who will forever miss him dearly.

Predeceased by her mother Aimee Fourcade D'Aunoy. Wife of the late Leopold G. "Dutch" Kleinschmidt. Mother of the late Gary F. Kleinschmidt Sr. and brother Fred G. D'Aunoy. Survived by her loving daughter, Peggy Ann Kleinschmidt. Also Survived by three grandchildren, Gary F.

She is also survived by her sister-in-law Mary Louise W. D'Aunoy and daughter-in-law Shirley Gebbs Kleinschmidt. She was a graduate of Dominican High School. She lived in New Orleans until 13 years ago when she moved to Metairie. Early on she was a member of the Lakeview Garden Club where she met her buddies and took up bridge. She enjoyed bridge but it was the Manhattans and camaraderie she loved the most. Aimee, often compared to "Auntie Mame", loved life and lived it to the fullest until her death. She never met a person she didn't like and only saw the good in people. Aimee was a beautiful woman and if you met her, you never forgot her. She was truly a character and lived by her rules and that is what made her so special and different. The world will be a quieter place but heaven will be jumping. I'm sure God thought twice before he summoned her. She will be missed. Relatives and friends of the family, are invited to attend a festive celebration of Aimee's life at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 444 Metairie Road on Tuesday June 4, 2013.

Dr. Steve Horn, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Lafayette, will conduct the funeral services. Mr. Rodrigue, a resident of Lafayette, was the son of the late Louis Joseph "L.J." Rodrigue and the former Irene Juso. Steven was a native of White Castle, LA and was born on August 21, 1961. He graduated from White Castle High School in 1979, where he played football, basketball, baseball, and was a member of the band. Steven was affectionately called "Joe Willie" by many friends and family. In 1984, he graduated from LSU with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. He spent the early years of his career in the oil field industry before joining Cargill Salt in Breaux Bridge, LA. He was an exceptional and valued employee at Cargill for 23 years. Steven was a loving husband for 20 years and an extraordinary father to Joseph and John. He is remembered by all as a man of the highest integrity. He had a great joy for life and was full of laughter. Steven was the family "storyteller," as we all loved to listen and laugh with him. Everyone appreciated that he was available anytime to lend a helping hand and he was loving, patient, and kind to all. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, golf, and coaching his sons' baseball and basketball teams. Steven will be greatly missed, but we know that "Joy is not the absence of pain, but the presence of Christ." He is survived by his wife, Gail Claire Guidry Rodrigue of Lafayette, LA; his two sons, Joseph William Rodrigue and John Louis Rodrigue both of Lafayette, LA; his mother, Mrs. Irene Rodrigue of White Castle, LA; two sisters, Laurene and her husband Michael LeCoq and Angie and her husband Mason Druhan; three brothers, Rodney Rodrigue and his wife Donna, Lynn Rodrigue and his wife Nicole and Michael Rodrigue and his wife Heidi; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Raymond was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Doris Rita Boudreaux Verderaime; brother Vincent S. Verderaime; sisters Felicia Verderaime Fredenburg and Anna Gloria Verderaime; and parents, Joseph Verderaime and Rosa Vaccaro Verderaime. Raymond was born in New Orleans to parents who emigrated from Italy and he spent most of his youth at the family home, a beautiful late-Italianate house, on Esplanade Avenue. Raymond graduated from Samuel J. Peters High School and attended Tulane University. He entered military service in 1944, initially serving in the AA or "All American" Division. Because of his language skills, he was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the US intelligence agency during World War II. Raymond was honorably discharged in 1945. Recognized for his hard work, diligence, exactitude, and honesty, he began a highly successful business career in the chemical distribution industry with Barada and Paige, as office manager. Within a few years of Barada and Paige being purchased by McKesson, Raymond formed Magnolia Chemicals and Solvents, Inc. in partnership with Chep Fields in 1961. In the mid-1960s Raymond became the sole owner of Magnolia Chemicals and created a highly successful business. His success as a business leader was fully shown in 1983 when Magnolia Chemicals suffered a devastating warehouse fire. In response, many of his competitors and customers offered assistance with products and temporary warehouse space. Raymond rebuilt the business, achieving even greater success. He sold Magnolia Chemicals in 1988 and retired. Raymond was active during his career and after in civic and fraternal organizations. Raymond's civic leadership began in his teens when he organized a social club for teenagers. He was the organizer of the Green Acres Homeowners Association in Metairie, Louisiana and served as president of the Greenline Lions Club of Metairie. He was a member of the Theodore Roosevelt Lodge #415, Free and Accepted Masons, and he was raised to the degree of Master Mason on April 27, 1970. He and Doris enjoyed extensive travel throughout the US and sharing voyages on the "Doray" with family, business associates, and friends. Raymond was an exquisite story teller with the ability to hold people in rapt attention for hours. Raymond cherished his family and his friends. He is survived by his nieces Diane Verderaime Beam (Dayn), Deborah Verderaime, Donna Verderaime Rucks (Andrew), Carol Herbez, and nephew David Herbez (Cathy), three grand nieces, two grand nephews and two great-grand nephews. The family expresses its gratitude for the care and kindness Uncle Raymond received from the doctors, nurses, therapists and staff at the East Jefferson General Hospital and St Theresa's Specialty Hospital, and the staff of God's Angels.

Leah is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Richard Weinstein, her 3 children Amy Peterson (Eric), Emily Galdes (Frank), David Weinstein (Luba), her 6 grandchildren Sarah, Ben, Jacob, Hannah, Raquel and Talia, her brother Richard Buckman (Kathy), sister-in-law Steffi Weinstein (and late brother-in-law Bentley Weinstein) and nephews Brian Buckman (Cathy), Shepard Buckman and niece Ellen Buckman and many other loving cousins and friends. She was the adoring daughter of the late Ben and Martha Buckman. Leah and Richard both "Southerners" have lived in California for 45 years. The life they built has touched and enriched many lives. They loved to travel, spend time at their second home in Geyserville, but most of all they took care of each other and the family and friends they love. Leah built many beautiful and lasting memories in our community. She was instrumental in creating the first hospice boutique in Walnut Creek. The program has grown exponentially and endures today. In its humble beginnings, Leah loved to volunteer and run the small shop. In the early 1980s she assumed a leadership role in designing and building the sanctuary and the surrounding buildings at Congregation B'Nai Shalom. The building has seen a few updates in the last 30 years but the essence of what she built is the core of the synagogue today. Leah, along with her husband Richard, helped to envision and bring to life the Contra Costa Jewish Day School in Lafayette. She was on the committee that helped to found the school and build the permanent structure that the school is housed in today. Leah loved gardening, music and tennis. She was good at all of them but more than her talents or abilities, she loved these activities. She was a master gardener, a pianist who delighted her family with her musical talents and a tennis player who brought joy to herself and her opponents on the court. She appreciated the beauty that simple things provided: sunsets, flowers in the garden or in a vase, a good match with her "old" tennis friends and the lunches that followed, or participating in water exercise with the ladies. Leah's warmth, smile and gracious demeanor were felt by all who knew her. Her passing leaves a void for all of us but her memory will forever be a blessing. The funeral services were held on Thursday June 13 at Gan Shalom Cemetery in Briones, CA. Donations in Leah's memory may be sent to Congregation B'Nai Shalom 74 Eckley Lane Walnut Creek, CA 94596 or to the Leah Weinstein Memorial Fund at the Contra Costa Jewish Day School 955 Risa Road, Lafayette, CA 94549.
