Jane P."Cookie"Dewey

A native of New Roads and a resident of Baton Rouge, she died on Friday, March 13, 2015 at 10:50pm. Visitation will be held at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, 2025 Stuart Ave, on Saturday March 21, 2015 from 10am until Memorial Mass at 12pm. Burial will follow at False River Memorial Park in New Roads. She is survived by her daughters and their husbands: Hope Dewey and Alan Smith, and Penny Kimbrell and Andy Kimbrell; and by her son and his wife, Thomas J. Dewey IV and Donna Dewey. She is also survived by her 9 grandchildren: Sarah, Jennifer, Shelby, Drew, Katie, Kelly, Caitlin, Devin, and Jadon; her 4 great-grandchildren: Madison, Megan, Evangeline, and Jaqueline; and by the mother of her children, Tom Dewey and his wife Nancy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Tanner Pinsonat and Julia Pinsonat; and her grandsons, Adam Choumar and Tanner Julius Dewey. One of her greatest gifts was the ability to make others feel loved and to recognize the possibilities they had inside themselves. Her house was filled with family, friends, love, and fun, and there was always room for more! We were better for having had her in our lives. The family wishes to thank her cousin, Julie Brinck, for her immeasurable love and support. We would also like to thank the nursing staff in RCU at OLOL Hospital for their compassion and support in her final days. In lieu of flowers, a gift in her memory would be appreciated to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718.
