Charles “Charlie” H. Livaudais, a native of New Orleans, LA and resident of Point Clear, AL, passed away peacefully at his home on October 10, 2019, at the age of 82. Charlie was born on March 25, 1937 to his loving parents, Oliver S. Livaudais, Jr. and Isabella Hughes Livaudais. After graduating from Jesuit High School in New Orleans, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Spring Hill College, followed by a Juris Doctorate from Tulane Law School. At Spring Hill College, Charlie met Eleanor Ford who would become his wife in 1962. Charlie and Eleanor then moved to Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, where Charlie served in the Army JAG Corps, reaching the position of First Lieutenant. After two years of Army service, Charlie and family returned to Louisiana where Charlie pursued his law career in practice at Livaudais Law Office and as First Assistant District Attorney in St. Bernard Parish. One of his proudest moments as Assistant D.A. was his successful argument before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1970. In his free time, Charlie was an active member of the Kiwanis Club and various Carnival krewes, including the Krewe of Lourdes over which he reigned as King in 1971. Charlie and family loved spending time on Mobile Bay, and upon his retirement, they moved to their bay home in Point Clear, Alabama. Charlie was an avid sailor and trumpet player. He was a member of Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans, and later, a member of Fairhope Yacht Club. Charlie earned countless trophies over years of sailboat racing as a regular competitor in the bi-weekly yacht club races, as well as various regattas. Charlie also played trumpet throughout his life. In college, he was a member of several bands, including Charlie and the Playboys and the Montclairs. In later years, he was a founding member of The Baldwin POPS Orchestra, and enjoyed playing in local bands, including the Yacht Club band, and the Ted and Charlie Duo. Beyond sailing or playing music, Charlie’s true passions were his love of God and his Catholic faith and his love for his family. Charlie enjoyed attending daily Mass, praying the Rosary, and attending Bible studies, and sharing those values with his family. He cherished every moment he spent with his wife, his four children, and his six grandchildren. Charlie is survived by his wife, Eleanor F. Livaudais; three children, Charles H. Livaudais, Jr, (daughter-inlaw, Jean Marie) (grandchildren, Benjamin and Laura); Kathleen L. Simoneaux (son-in-law, Keith) (grandchildren, Caroline and Keller); and Laura Livaudais (Robert Ward) (grandchildren, Evelyn Adaire and Eleanor Lillie); his sister, Isabella de la Houssaye.
