Agnes Catherine Rabito

Agnes Catherine Rabito, 84, passed away peacefully in her sleep in her hometown of New Orleans on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Born on September 24, 1941, Agnes was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Robinson and Maggie Peterson; her husband, Charles Anthony Rabito; her siblings, Patsy Ott and Bobby Robinson; her children, Debbie Rabito and Buster Rabito and her grandson, Taylor Townsend.

Agnes is survived by her children, Toni Rabito, Lisa Rabito-Sutton, and Ray Rabito; her sisters, JoAnn Marvin and Carol Brown; a brother, Lawrence Robinson; her grandchildren: Alex Needham, Andie Wise, Derrick Townsend, Ashley Rabito, Joshua Rabito, and Ray Rabito Jr. and her great-grandchildren, Leo Rabito, Mia Rabito and Anthony Rabito.

Agnes Rabito was happily married to the love of her life, Anthony Rabito. From the age of 14, they shared more than 60 beautiful years together until his passing. She was a devout Christian and a very family-oriented woman.

Agnes spent over 20 years working at the Gumbo Shop, like a true New Orleans native. She was a diehard Saints fan who spent football seasons yelling and cursing at the television, except in 2010 when they won the championship. Agnes had a beautiful voice and could serenade anyone who had the honor of hearing her sing. She enjoyed playing cards, slots, and watching silly sitcoms. She loved everything sweet, especially cream pies and ice cream. She loved her grandchildren very much, and enjoyed spending time with them at the bookstore, Toys-R-Us, Chuck-E-Cheese, and the “Choo-Choo Restaurant” (Miller’s Restaurant). Agnes Rabito was widely loved and will be deeply missed.

Beloved family and friends are welcome to attend a gathering in her honor at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home located at 4747 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70006, on Friday, February 20, 2026. Visitation will be held from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm followed by a prayer service.

In lieu of donations, flowers are welcomed.
