Marcel Laurent Valois, of Covington, LA, passed away April 2, 2019 at Grace Health and Rehabilitation Center in Slaughter, LA at the age of 91. Marcel was born July 9, 1927 at Hôtel-Dieu in New Orleans under the care of the Daughters of Charity. He was the only child of Walter Albertus Valois and Ruth Harvey Reboul. Marcel spent most of his early childhood at the family’s country house in St. Bernard Parish. His father was a life-long journalist, working for the New Orleans States-Item and later Times-Picayune. Marcel was the youngest of six grandsons on his mother’s side of the family. He remembered fondly spending time with his grandparents, Theophile and Susan Reboul at their home in the Marigny. After the Second World War, the family moved to Covington where Marcel spent the rest of his life. The family was congregants at Christ Episcopal Church. Marcel graduated from St. Paul’s College in Covington in 1949. He then went on to graduate from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. He met his future wife Mary Agnes “Mab” Patin - seven years his junior - while she was still a student at St. Scholastica Academy. Mab invited Marcel to be her date for her senior prom but he declined, being uncomfortable at the thought of attending a high school prom at the age of twenty-five. Later, however, while Mab was a student at Southeastern, she recalled Marcel approaching her on campus one day, inviting her to attend a concert from the Boston Symphony which was in town on tour. Shortly thereafter, he proposed to her at the Hi-Ho Barbecue in Hammond. They were married May 11, 1958 at Holy Ghost Church in Hammond before setting up home in Covington. Marcel spent his career working for the Napko Paint Company in New Orleans. He and Mab had three children: Thomas Todd, Mathilde Reboul, and Walter Abbott. He was a member of the Covington Masonic Lodge for 50 plus years as well as the local chapter of the National Guard. He loved opera and classical music, particularly the works of Wagner and Beethoven. Marcel took great pride in his yard, meticulously cultivating some of the best gardens in Covington with something in bloom in every season. Most importantly, Marcel took particular interest in all his grandchildren, delighting in every accomplishment and seeking to share in every special moment he could. He is remembered as a consummate gentleman: warm and gregarious, always ready with a dry, witty comment followed by an infectious laugh. He will be missed and fondly remembered by many. Marcel was preceded in death by his wife Mab and his son Todd. He is survived by his daughter Mathilde “Tudy”, married to Brent McCann, of St. Francisville and his second son Walter, married to Jennifer Barber, of Lafayette. He is also survived by his six grandchildren: Preston Catledge Valois, Turner Catledge Valois, Brenna Lane McCann, Walter Bennett Souther, Ruth Amelia McCann, and Walter Aiden Valois. Family and friends attended a memorial of Marcel’s life on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Christ Episcopal Church, 120 S. New Hampshire St., Covington, LA 70433. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Bridgeway Hospice of Baton Rouge, 13702 Coursey Blvd #5b, Baton Rouge, LA 70817. E.J. Fielding Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

Gerard “Buddy” Landry, Jr. passed away at his home on April 9, 2019, in Toca, LA, at the age of 95. Buddy was the beloved husband of the late Leatrice Mason Landry and the son of Adrienne Rose Landry and Gerard Landry, Sr. He is preceded in death by his sister, Dorothy Landry DelBuono (John), brother Herbert Landry, and adopted brother, Richard Landry (Virginia). Buddy is survived by his adopted sister, Barbara Kellum (Bill); children—Decker Landry (Julie), Lynne Landry Ford (Joe), and Karen Landry Bertel (James); grandchildren—Adrienne Landry Lay (partner Allan Molero), Alice Landry Walter (August), Brad Joseph Ford (Georgina), Kristy Ford Dillingham, Ryan Gerard Ford (Kristine), Lauren Bertel DeFrates (Anthony), Michael James Bertel, Katherine Seelos Bertel (partner Michael Moran), and Renee Bertel Lake (Sylvester); great-grandchildren—August Lay, Zackary Lay, Anna Mace, Alex Enzer, Wilder Dillingham, Landry Dillingham, Mason Ford, Reid Ford, Mallory Ford, Zachary DeFrates, Aedan DeFrates, Dylan DeFrates, and Halyn Lake. Buddy lost his mother at an early age. He grew up during the Depression in New Orleans on Desire Street under a stern father with sister, Dorothy, and brother, Herbert. He and Herbert found time to become gymnasts. With this up-bringing, Buddy developed a strong work ethic. At the outbreak of WWII, Buddy immediately went to the Custom House to enlist in the Marines. Although in fine physical form, he was rejected because of a minor overbite condition of his front teeth. He walked down the hall and joined the Navy. Buddy trained to be a radioman/gunner in the Grumman Avenger Fighter Plane. After rupturing an eardrum during training, he was assigned as a radioman to the aircraft carrier, USS Lexington (CV-16), while the ship was under construction. It was the second carrier assigned that name during the war. He entered the Pacific Theater and saw action from Tarawa to Tokyo. He survived a Kamikaze attack to his duty station in the “island” of the ship where numerous shipmates were killed. CV-16 also survived a torpedo attack. The Japanese, having thought she was sunk on two occasions and through the voice of Tokyo Rose, nicknamed the ship the Blue Ghost. Buddy was truly a member of the “Greatest Generation.” After the war, Buddy married and with his first wife, Merle Decker, raised three loving children. He was employed by the Times Picayune as a linotype operator until he retired. With great pride, Buddy built a succession of houses and cabinetry for his family and others. As a master carpenter, cabinet maker, brick layer, and cement finisher, he built for his children log cabins, a dollhouse, turtle pens, and pet cages as well as custom houses and, later in life, furniture. When the grandchildren came along, Buddy crafted such pieces as bassinets and toy chests. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005 at the age of 82, he built his last house, a one-bedroom cottage where he and Leatrice enjoyed nature and lived near family. Buddy’s two greatest passions were carpentry and dancing. He was the hardest of workers, but come the weekend, he loved dressing up in a suit and tie to go dancing at social functions and the Jefferson Orleans. Living life to the fullest, he danced at his 95th birthday party and worked in his woodshop until he could work no more. One month before his 96th birthday, his tired body and soul were ready to go to God and his wife, Leatrice. Buddy was a great dad and grandfather and will be remembered with much love and affection. Relatives and friends attended a memorial gathering held followed by a prayer service at St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home, 701 W. Virtue St., Chalmette, LA on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Buddy was laid to rest in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens. To view and sign the Family Guestbook, please visit www.stbernardmemorial.com.
