Betty Jane Compagno Dubuisson passed away suddenly in Metairie, Louisiana on January 3, 2022 as a result of complications after a recent injury. She was the beloved wife of Paul Louis Dubuisson for 57 years. Betty was born on October 8, 1943, in New Orleans, Louisiana, daughter of the late Peter and Pearl Thom Compagno. She grew up in Uptown New Orleans, around the corner from her family’s legendary Fern Street restaurant, Compagno’s.

Betty leaves behind a large extended family who will cherish her memory. She is survived by her five sisters-in-law, who loved her dearly, and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews from both the Compagno and Dubuisson families.

Betty attended Mater Dolorosa Elementary School and was a 1961 graduate of The Academy of the Holy Angels. Paul and Betty were high school sweethearts. After they met, while he was a student at Holy Cross and she at Holy Angels, they were inseparable. After graduation, Betty worked in the executive offices of The Louisiana Coca-Cola Bottling Company until Paul finished his service in the United States Navy. They married on April 4, 1964. After Christine and Mark were born, Betty devoted herself to taking care of her husband and children and keeping a beautiful home. She was the ultimate soccer and dance mom, activities in which both her children excelled. After her children were grown, she worked as an executive assistant for New York Life Insurance Company in New Orleans. Betty was a beautiful soul and a kind and gentle woman who was cherished by her family and friends.
