Teree Blair Lartigue's Obituary
Teree Blair Lartigue, age 73, of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, passed away on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Born on August 1, 1951 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Teree was a career LPN, notably a hospice nurse at the time of her passing. In addition to caring for her patients, Teree believed even the smallest beings on Earth belong and have a home, and her caring heart and passion for wildlife rehabilitation and education led her to co-found Silent Voices Wildlife Rehabilitation, a non-profit organization. Teree didn’t hesitate to voice her mind and could be gruff, but those who knew her well also knew her kindness, generosity, and wit, the fun-loving person who enjoyed traveling, estate sales, and, most especially, spoiling those she loved. She was well loved in return by a large circle of friends and family members.
She is survived by her siblings, Sandra Sessum Walker (Ronnie); Pepper Sessum Caruso; Mary Margaret Mintz (Steve); Guy “Buddy” Lartigue III, (Lois); Leslie Mentel; numerous beloved nephews and nieces; extended family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Florence Gwendolyn Osburg Lartigue and Guy David Lartigue Jr.
