Lurlyn Ann Hickey Hennessey, age 71, passed away on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Loving and devoted mother of Ashley Hennessey Dubret (Johnny) and Ryan Patrick Hennessey (Vita). Proud grandmother of Lily Elizabeth Dubret, John "Jack" Charles Dubret IV and Nicholas Patrick Dubret of New Orleans and Evan Connor Hennessey, Adrianna Marie Hennessey and Olivia Morgan Hennessey of Portland, Oregon. Daughter of the late Inez Nicholas Hickey and the late Lawrence Joseph Hickey. Sister of Peggy Hickey Van Matre and Patsy Hickey Perkins. Beloved companion of Ronald “Noonie” Guichet. Aunt of Dana Van Matre Gibson, Richard Van Matre Jr., Scott Van Matre (Erin) and Shane Perkins (Sarah). Also survived by her precious great nieces and nephews and many life-long friends. To all those who knew her she was "Lurl" a wonderful sister, aunt and friend but the true loves of her life were her children and grandchildren. She adored them and they adored their mom and "DeDe" in return. She was not only a beautiful lady on the outside but her kind spirit and caring heart made her an instant friend to all. Even during her illness she was more concerned about the wellbeing of those caring for her then herself. Lurlyn was a dedicated property manager of 1750 St. Charles Ave. Apartments for over 25 years and was respected by all her coworkers and residents. She was an avid tennis player at Chateau Country Club and Green Acres Country Club for many years. She loved all her “tennis girls” and all the great tennis trips they took over the years. Lurlyn's Catholic faith was strong throughout her life and it gave her great strength and peace through these last few months. Her contagious smile and her selfless ways will be sadly missed by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at St. Clement of Rome Catholic Church, 4317 Richland Ave. in Metairie on Friday, April 28, 2017 at 12:30 pm. Visitation will begin at 9:30 am. Interment will be private. Memorial donations can be made in honor of Lurlyn to Sister Dulce Maria at Cypress Springs Prayer Center, 17560 George O’Neal Rd., Baton Rouge, 70817.
