Adrienne Woolley Paciera

Born and raised in New Orleans, Adrienne remained a lifelong resident of the city. She met the love of her life, Vincent Paciera Jr., while still in high school, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love, family, and shared adventures. They were blessed with two children: Vincent Paciera III and Danielle Paciera.

Adrienne embraced life with a calm and joyful disposition, coupled with a poise that was evident in all she did. She found joy in jazzercise, treasured time at her condo in Miramar Beach, and delighted in traveling the world alongside her husband. Her passion for exploration led her to pursue a career as a travel agent. Adrienne shared a special bond with her children, often taking road trips with her daughter Danielle, relishing lunches with her son Vincent, and enjoying festivals with them both. Among her fondest memories were the joyful days spent "festing" with her children on Local Thursdays at Jazz Fest and enjoying Mardi Gras celebrations with her sisters Mickey Rodriguez and Suzy Smith.

Family was at the heart of Adrienne 's world. She shared meaningful connections with her in-laws Shirley and Vincent Paciera Sr., as well as Kirth and Donna Paciera, creating lasting memories on family vacations with all ten of the Paciera clan. Whether cooking for loved ones, chatting with neighbors on daily walks with her chocolate lab, "piddling" in the garden, or sharing wine and laughter with friends, Adrienne’s warmth and easygoing spirit made her beloved by all who knew her.

She is survived by her devoted husband Vincent Paciera Jr.; children Vincent Paciera III and Danielle Paciera; sisters Mickey (Michelle) Rodriguez, Suzanne Smith, and Helene (Heddy) Goslin; and her sweet labrador Abbey. Her remarkable spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Adrienne’s extraordinary life on Monday, March 24, 2025 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70124. The visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. until the mass at 12:00 p.m. May her memory bring solace to all who loved her.
