It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of Stephanie Laborde Kelly. Her bright light was called home to be with our Lord on Sunday, February 15, 2026, while surrounded by her family and loved ones. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1954 to Pearl K. Hagler and Lester H. Hagler. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Suzanne Zabalaoui and her brother, Barry Hagler. Stephanie had a huge heart and contagious smile.

She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Lynn Laborde, her son, Wayne Laborde Jr, her stepson, Chet Kelly, her granddaughter, Isabella Friedrichs and her great-grandson CJ Nauck.
