RIP Mom 💔

Jeannie Mable Jean Asher

1946 - 2025
Jeannie Mable Jean Asher, 79, of Arabi, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on Friday, November 21, 2025.

Born March 8, 1946 in Pineville, KY, Jeannie was a woman of deep kindness and quiet strength. She saw beauty everywhere and had a gift for making everyone around her feel seen and loved. With her beautiful green eyes, warm smile, ready compliment, and signature white outfits paired with bright red lipstick, she left a lasting mark on countless hearts.

Jeannie cherished her family above all else. She is survived by her devoted children: F. Ray Whitfield (Shannon), Angel Flannery (Joseph), Tammy Philibert (Cliff), Annette Gioia Burch (Damian), Agnes Gonzales (Brian), and Allen Ballard (Debbie); nineteen grandchildren: Brittanie (Scott), Matthew (Britney), Destiny (Jacob), Taylor (Matt), Cade, Shelby, Aidan, Evan, Phoebe, Bradley (Rhiannon), Blake (Emma), Bill, James, Josh, Adrian, Brandie, Casi, Abigail, and Cole; and thirteen great-grandchildren: Madelynn, Jaxson, Nolen, Eli, Liam, Charlotte, Ashton, Dominik, Carter, Kamdin, Naomi, Leilani, and Brenley. She also leaves behind her brothers Arthur (Gail) and Joe, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were like family.

She was predeceased by her parents, Wilk Asher and Viola Brummette Brock; her beloved daughter, Viola Michelle Reynolds; and several dear siblings and extended family members.

Jeannie found joy in the simple things—tending her garden, singing "One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus" at karaoke, shopping for the perfect outfit, and, most of all, being surrounded by the laughter and love of her big, beautiful family. She was the kind of woman who would give you her last dollar or the shirt off her back and go without so no one else had to. A gentle, generous soul—beautiful inside and out—she was everything and more to so many. Her family feels lost without her guiding light.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 30, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 305 Midway Drive, River Ridge, LA 70123. In honor of Jeannie's vibrant spirit and signature style, the family kindly requests that guests wear white.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests simply telling someone you love them—something Jeannie did every single day.

Lagniappe:

Those who knew Jeannie will never forget her striking green eyes—eyes that needed no words to speak. A single glance could scold, tease, comfort, or envelop you in love. With one look she could say everything, and somehow you always understood.

To her children and grandchildren she was simply everything. She loved fiercely and unconditionally, giving all of herself every single day. She shaped their hearts, their character, and their lives in ways no words can fully capture. They are who they are because of her. Her spirit, her strength, and her boundless love live on in each of them. They carry her forward with pride and gratitude, determined to honor the extraordinary mother and grandmother she was and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.

Jeannie loved all animals and mourned her fur babies she lost over the years - Shadow and Nila. I'm sure she is receiving plenty puppy kisses now that they are reunited in heaven.

RIP Dad

David Levron Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 13, 2025.

David Joseph Levron, 76, passed away on February 26, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

Born on April 11, 1948, in Pittsburg, California, David lived a life filled with passion, faith, and adventure. A proud Marine, he carried the discipline and strength of his service throughout his life. His deep faith was a guiding force, and he found great joy in studying the Bible and expanding his knowledge on topics that intrigued him. 

David had an undeniable love for speed and power-whether behind the wheel of a fast car or astride his beloved Harley Davidson. The roar of an engine was music to his ears, and he never missed an opportunity to leave his mark-sometimes quite literally-with a trail of rubber on the pavement. He also enjoyed a good game of pool and could often be found unwinding with a glass of peach schnapps in hand. 

Family was at the heart of David's world. He is survived by his former wife and mother of his children, Jeannie Asher; his children: F. Ray Whitfield and wife Shannon; Angel Flannery and husband Joseph; Tammy Philibert and significant other Cliff ; Annette Gioia-Burch and husband Damian; Agnes Gonzales and husband Brian; and Ezekiel Miller. He also leaves behind nine grandchildren-Brittanie, Matthew (Britney), Destiny (Jacob), Taylor, Cade, Shelby, Aidan, Evan, and Phoebe-as well as twelve great-grandchildren: Madelynn, Jaxson, Nolen, Eli, Liam, Charlotte, Ashton, Dominik, Carter, Kamdin, Naomi, and Leilani. His siblings EJ and Denise mourn his passing alongside many other family members and friends. He also shared a special bond with his girlfriend Sarah Martin. 

David was preceded in death by his beloved wife Elizabeth Jolivette Levron; his parents Ernest Joseph Levron and Agnes Velma Rogers Levron; as well as numerous brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews who went before him. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 305 Midway Drive in River Ridge, Louisiana. 

David's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him-his laughter echoing like the rumble of a Harley down an open road. His blue eyes, kind smile, warm heart and wisdom will forever be cherished by those he loved. 

P.S.

Dear Daddy, 

Words can not describe the loss or pain we feel without you. We know that you are home. I can envision the moment God welcomed you in his arms at the gates of heaven. Rest and know that your Legacy lives on in each of us. We miss you everyday and LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!

RIP Mama Carmel

I just found out the other day that you had passed a month after we last spoke. I know you're happy to be reunited with our Mandy. Thanks for everything and for always being there. I love and miss you both beyond words. I hope you're free of pain. Until we meet again Mama Carmel. Hug my Cinnamon Roll for me. Carmel Mary Simpson March 20, 1958 - October 25, 2023

RIP Ms. Connie 💔

Ms. Connie was diagnosed a few days ago with lung cancer and liver failure. She wanted to go home for her remaining time. Fauddy just let us know that she has passed (5/13/24). My heart hurts for Shannon, Faud, Taylor, Maria, Luie, and all those grandbabies. I’m glad she was able to meet the grandchildren and watch them grow over the years. No doubt that she will be missed and this will leave a void in a lot of hearts. Rest peacefully Ms. Connie. You worked long and hard enough, it’s your turn to rest. We love you.
