Ursula “Sue” Wegmann Finegan died July 6, 2020 peacefully at her home at the age of 85. She leaves behind her husband of 62 years, William “Bill” Finegan, and her sister Patty Rice (Eddie). She is also survived by her children: Doug Finegan (Caroline), Steve Finegan (Denise), Diane “Boo” Kallenborn (John), and Nancy Walshe (Michael). She had ten grandchildren: Kelly Finegan, Ali Jones (Nathan), Emery Kirkikis (Will), Will Kallenborn, Clayton Kallenborn, Ann Kallenborn, Patrick Finegan, Kerrie Finegan, Katie Grace Walshe & Michael Walshe; and two great-grandchildren: Grey & Maeven Jones. She was predeceased by her parents, Gus and Ursula Wegmann, and her older sister, Joan Glennon Buttigig. While Sue travelled extensively all over the world, she lived her entire life in New Orleans. She was a terrific cook/hostess and she was devoted to her family and friends. Sue was loving, compassionate, intelligent, adoring, adorable, unselfish, modest, and beautiful. Her sweetness was contagious and her amazing smile brightened a room. She was a devout Catholic, and her love and devotion shall be sorely missed. The family would like to extend a special thanks to her dear friends – her Bridge group and her Tennis group – for reaching out and supporting us during her illness. We also want to thank Sandra Bridges whose wonderful care enabled her to stay at home during her last few months, Fr. Joe Palermo for his holy blessings, Dr. Alan Yager for his frequent house calls, and Notre Dame Hospice for all of their amazing support. A funeral mass shall be held at noon on Friday, July 10th at St. Francis Xavier Church preceded by a visitation at St. Francis Xavier Church from 10:00am to noon. The burial shall be private. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Covenant House New Orleans.
