Marietta "Pat" Patricia Sigerson's Obituary
Marietta Patricia Webster Sigerson ("Pat") lost her courageous battle with breast cancer on March 17, 2010.
Pat was born in New Orleans and lived in Covington for the past thirty-eight years.
Pat is predeceased by her father and mother, Alfred William Webster and Marietta Lafaso Webster. She is survived by her beloved husband of forty-seven years, Bob, and her children and their spouses: Allyson Sigerson and her fiancé Les Miller, Marietta and Greg Davis, and Richard and Jennifer Sigerson. The love and joy of Pat’s life were her two grandchildren, Ryan Sigerson and Riley Claire Sigerson. In addition to her children and grandchildren she is survived by her sisters and their spouses, Marilyn and Matt Lanasa and Darleen and Jack Christiansen, seven nieces and numerous cousins.
Pat graduated from Warren Easton high school in 1956 and attended Loyola University. She married Bob on July 16, 1963.
After her family, Pat’s great passion was ballet. She began dancing at the age of eight and never stopped living and loving the ballet. For over fifty years, children of all ages in New Orleans and on the North Shore studied classical ballet under Miss Pat’s watchful eye. Pat remained an avid supporter of ballet companies in New Orleans and Houston. In her last years she enjoyed nothing more than taking her grandchildren to the Houston Ballet’s Nutcracker every Christmas. After retiring from ballet, Pat was active in her community. She volunteered for Hospice and was an active member of Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church.
Pat had many friends, some of whom she’d known for decades and others whom she met in recent years. They all meant the world to her. She felt blessed to have them and took great comfort in their company. The family would like to thank all of them for their presence in Pat’s life.
