Mamere has experienced so much in her nearly 93 years, yet you would never know it from her smile. Despite losing everything in Hurricane Katrina and having to relocate to Lafayette for four years, Mamere didn’t complain. Even after losing her husband in 2010, and all of her nine siblings throughout the years, she persevered. The matriarch of our family, Mamere, was deeply loved and will be sorely missed. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a Memorial Mass at 12:15 PM on Saturday, February 29, 2020 in the J. Garic Schoen Chapel of JACOB SCHOEN & SON FUNERAL HOME, 3827 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70119. Visitation will begin at 9:00 AM. Interment will be in Hope Mausoleum, 4841 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA.
