Jacqueline "Jackie" Milano Robert

Jackie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend and neighbor. She was a stay home Mom when her children were young and was involved in their school activities and Mother’s Club. She then worked in the field of office management, clerical work and bookkeeping for over 30 years. Her passion was her family, helping and giving any way she could to care for her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved helping her working children with their housework, laundry, babysitting and picking up the little ones from school. She also shared in the care of her own infirm mother for many years. She loved family gatherings with her and Red’s siblings and their families. She was a great cook and hostess and loved holidays and all the preparations for them. It was so important to her to keep in touch with extended family, attending weddings, parties and reunions. She stayed in touch by visiting when able, and then when she could no longer get out, phone calls….many, many phone calls to friends and family, always thinking of others, she wanted to stay connected. She and Red loved dancing, vacationing with friends, and many trips to the casinos. She was so well liked by everyone who knew her and deeply loved by her family.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her four children, Susan Robert Freeze, Bruce Robert, Marcia Robert Briseno (Roy) and Gwen Robert; ten grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband of seventy one years, Irby "Red" Robert; parents Mike and Lucy Belle Messina Milano; four siblings, Lucy Belle Sotile, Mary “Teeda” Civello, Michel Mike “Tex” Milano and Beverly Leblanc; two sons-in-law, Steve Modica and Red Freeze and one daughter-in-law Claire Becnel Robert.

The family would like to thank the staff of Harmony Hospice, Heart of Hospice, Metairie Healthcare Center and the many Donaldsonville in-home caregivers who loved and cared for Mrs. Jackie throughout her times of need.
