2020, after a brief illness. Born in New Orleans, she graduated from Sacred Heart Academy in 1945 and Newcomb College in 1950. She worked as a teacher at Immaculate Heart of Mary School, St. James Major Elementary School and as an assistant librarian in the Jefferson Parish Library System, but her calling was motherhood.
She was beautiful, always stylish, and she relished art, music, and nature.
She loved gardening and enjoyed her backyard sanctuary. She was an avid reader, especially Catholic spiritual writings, and she was interested in metaphysical ideas. Her curiosity about the world lasted throughout her long life.
She is predeceased by her mother, Lucy Alcantara Fell Martin, her father, Riley Brown Fell, her step-father, Elbert W. Martin, her siblings Dolores, Riley, Constance, Ramona, and her son, Dawn Richard Hunter. She will be remembered with love by her children, Jan, David, Lynn, Beth, James, and John, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and countless nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews. Many have felt her generous spirit.
Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations to your favorite charity would be appreciated.
