Carol Duplantier Llull

Carol Duplantier Llull, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home in Covington, Louisiana, on May 19, 2025, surrounded by family. She was 77.

Born in New Orleans on August 27, 1947, to A.J. and Catherine McGrew Duplantier, Carol was a nearly lifelong resident of the city that shaped much of her vibrant personality. Her strong Catholic faith guided her throughout her life, and for over a decade, she shared that faith and her love of learning as a teacher in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Later, she transitioned to a career with the LSU School of Medicine, where she played a vital role in shaping the future of children and families. She also served as a volunteer with the NAMI Louisiana Support Group for many years.

Carol’s passion for life extended beyond the classroom. She loved to travel, and her journeys took her to many corners of the world, where she embraced new cultures, cuisines, and experiences. Carol was preceded in death by her parents and her younger brother, Gregory Duplantier. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Santiago J. Llull; their children, Stephanie Jeanfreau (Mike), Jennifer Ledet (Brian), and Christian Llull (Lindsay); and her three cherished grandchildren, CeCe, Michael, and Olivia. She is also survived by siblings, Steve Duplantier (Ghislaine), Michael Duplantier (Bettye), Don Duplantier, Lynn Duplantier Barlotta (Sam), and Daniel Duplantier (Mickie).

A loving matriarch, Carol was a constant source of wisdom, laughter, and support to her family who will miss her deeply.

A visitation will be held on May 31, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, followed by a Memorial Mass at Leitz Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Boulevard in Metairie, LA. Interment will be in All Saints Mausoleum located in Metairie Cemetery, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans, LA.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in her memory to St. Tammany Hospice, 101 Ashland Way, Suite 2, Madisonville, LA 70447 or www.sthfoundation.org/donate.

Carol’s legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and the unwavering support she gave her family. She will be remembered with great affection and admiration by all who knew her.
