She also looked forward to weekly communion services and monthly masses ministered by the priests and deacons from St. Luke Catholic Church in Slidell. The family would like to offer thanks to the staff of Oak Park Village at Slidell Assisted Living Facility, especially Greta, Jeannie, Sharon, and Jennifer and the many caregivers for their care and compassion. We would also like to thank Heritage Hospice nurses Cindy, Margaret, Renee, and Alisha, her CNA, for their extraordinary devotion. A private funeral Mass was celebrated at Audubon Funeral Home in Slidell on Monday, May 11, 2020. Interment: St. Roch Cemetery, New Orleans, LA. At this time, we are unable to have a large Celebration of Life for her extended family and friends. We wish each of you many blessings as we continue on this new journey of life. In lieu of flowers, our family welcomes masses said in Ursula’s memory. You are invited to share your thoughts, fond memories, and condolences at www.AudubonFuneralHome.com.
