Hubert "Whitey" Martin Gauthreaux, Jr. & Victoria Wilcox Gauthreaux

Together in life and now in eternity, Hubert "Whitey" Martin Gauthreaux, Jr. (born November 21, 1948) and Victoria Wilcox Gauthreaux (born March 11, 1951) entered Heaven hand in hand on February 15, 2025, their lives cut short by the reckless actions of a drunk driver.

Married for 55 years, Hubert and Victoria built a life centered around family, love, and devotion to one another. They were blessed with three children, Shane (Charleen) Gauthreaux, Brent Gauthreaux, and Vanessa (George) LeBlanc, who, along with their five grandchildren Brooke, Claire, Gavin, and Hubert Gauthreaux, III, and Caleb Pittman brought immeasurable joy to their lives.

Hubert was the son of the late Hubert Gauthreaux, Sr. and Joyce Falati Gauthreaux. He was preceded in death by his brother, Michael Gauthreaux, and is survived by his sisters, Angelle Martin and Vickie Esta. Hubert retired after dedicating 28 years of service to Tulane University’s Facility Services. A passionate Tulane fan, he rarely missed a chance to cheer on his beloved Green Wave, attending as many baseball and football games as possible.

Victoria was the daughter of the late Bernice Hymel Jones and Rodney Wilcox, Sr., but was raised by her dad, Warren "Puddin" Jones. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Rodney Wilcox, Jr. and Warren Jones, Jr., and her sister, Mary Sue Easley. She is survived by her sister, Denise Westbrook and sister-in-law, Sharon Wilcox. Victoria spent 30 years serving as a secretary at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. She loved socializing, shopping, and making sure everyone knew she was a proud "Gretna girl."

In retirement, Hubert and Vickie made their home in McNeill, Mississippi, but their hearts remained in Gretna, where they spent most weekends visiting the same neighborhood establishments with hopes of reconnecting with old friends and always making new ones. Their bond was a testament to lifelong love, and now they are reunited with their grandson, Hubert III, in everlasting peace.

They are also survived by many nieces, nephews, Godchildren, extended relatives, and countless treasured lifelong friends.

The family would like to thank the City of Gretna, the Gretna Police Department, the Jefferson Parish Police Department, Staff of Westside/Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, family, friends, and the entire community for their overwhelming support during this difficult time.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Chapel of WESTSIDE/LEITZ-EAGAN Funeral Home, 5101 Westbank Expressway, Marrero, LA on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at 1:00 PM. Visitation will begin at 8:00 AM. Interment will follow at Westlawn Cemetery, Gretna, LA
