Patsy Copher Kuhn

She was born July 18, 1945, to William E. Copher and Dorothy Ester Wilson Copher. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Billye "Duke" Kuhn; her brothers, Robert Copher and William L. Copher; and her sister, Betty Ruth Copher Dishon.

She is survived by her brother, Stievon Copher and his wife, Debbie; her daughter, Beth Barbay; her son, Shane Kuhn and his wife, Alexis; her grandchildren, Chase Barbay, Bryce Barbay and his wife, Cali, Tyler Barbay, Quin Barbay and his wife, Justice, and Elaine Kuhn; and her great-grandchildren, Lane Barbay, Avery Barbay, and Brax Barbay. The family would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Marilyn Spadora and Connie C. for their love and care.

Patsy spent over 40 years as a beautician at Metairie Manor, where her warm presence and gentle touch left a lasting mark on all who knew her. More than anything, she cherished the time she spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — and she never turned down the chance for an occasional trip to the casino.

In accordance with her wishes, a private family service will be held at Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at 10:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
