Angelo Anthony Palazzo
Angelo Palazzo (1917 - 2010)
Funeral services for Mr. Angelo Anthony Palazzo, 93, will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, September 23, 2010 at the Sibille Funeral Home in Opelousas, who passed away Monday, September 20, at his residence.
Interment will follow in Bellevue Memorial Park in Opelousas. Monsignor Keith DeRouen, Pastor of Our Lady Queen of Angels Church will be the Celebrant of the Funeral Mass.
Deacon Sammy Diesi will preach the Homily.
Mr. Palazzo was born in New Orleans, LA on June 13, 1917. He lived the majority of his life in Braithwaite, LA before moving to Opelousas in 2001 to be near his loving family and friends.
Mr. Palazzo was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He lived the most full and beautiful life. There is nothing he couldn't do or wouldn't try. His energy and determination were relentless. He had a green thumb and everything he touched grew into something wonderful. He took such pride in the things he planted or built. His hands, which were his windows to the world, opened so many doors for him. He is well known for his grand smile, most generous heart and loyalty to everyone who was fortunate to be touched by his life. His faith kept him strong and genuine.
Survivors include, one daughter, Alice Palazzo Morrow and husband, Patrick C. Morrow, of Opelousas; three grandchildren, P. Craig Morrow, Jr. and wife, Nicole B. Morrow; Celeste M. Morrow; Charlotte M. Moreau and husband, AI Moreau III; seven great-grandchildren, Courtney, Tyler, Savannah, and Blair Morrow; Ava Grace, Aidan and Luke Moreau, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors.
Mr. Palazzo was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Julia Alice McCabe Palazzo; his parents, Dominic and Mary Marino Palazzo; and four sisters, Lucy P. Gremillion, Lena P. Trumbaturi, Myra P. Foch, and Carolyn "Dolly" P. Burge.
Visiting hours will be observed at the Sibille Funeral Home of Opelousas, Thursday, September 23, 2010 from 8 a.m. until time of mass at 11 a.m.
A rosary will be held at 10 a.m. on the day of the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Catholic Deaf Action Center, 1408 Carmel Avenue, Lafayette, LA.
The family would like to thank the following people for their endless support, help and care in Angelo's later years: Wayne and Ginger Doucet, Chantel Lemaire, Virgie Edmond, Patsy Bullara, Msgr. DeRouen, Sammy Diesi, Donald Rome and the staff of Morrow, Morrow, Ryan and Bassett.
Words of comfort to the family may be expressed at www.sibillefuneralhomes.com.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Sibille Funeral Home of Opelousas.

National Lifeline and Link Up Telephone Discount Awareness Week
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has joined the National Association of Regulatory Commissioners (NARUC) and the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA) to call attention to the second annual "National Lifeline and Link Up Telephone Discount Awareness Week," which takes place this year September 13 - 19. The observation began with a Congressional Briefing on Monday, September 13, that outlined for Members of Congress and their staffs the efforts being made to promote awareness of these two telephone assistance programs.
"Lifeline" involves discounts on monthly charges for a primary residential telephone line, which might be wireless service. "Link Up" involves a discount on the cost of initiating the primary telephone service for a residence, including the activation of a wireless phone that serves as the primary residential telephone. The discounts are available throughout the country, including an enhanced discount on Tribal lands. In general, consumers at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines, or who participate in one or more of a number of other assistance programs, are eligible for Lifeline and Link Up.
Various state and local agencies throughout the country are participating with outreach activities and events. The "Lifeline" and "Link Up" programs help ensure that all Americans can get basic telephone service by providing discounts to consumers who might not otherwise be able to afford service. Recent statistics demonstrate that of the 25.7 million eligible, 8.2 million households participate, or roughly a 32 percent national participation rate for 2009.
To help call attention to the availability of these programs, the FCC, NARUC and NASUCA urge government agencies and non-profit organizations to help disseminate information on Lifeline and Link Up to their constituents. More information about the programs and how to apply is available at www.lifeline.gov or http://www.usac.org/li/low-income/apply-for-support.aspx.

Julie Ann Mowad
Julie Ann Mowad
| Visit Guest Book
Julie Ann Mowad, 55 of Oakdale, Louisiana died on September 1, 2010 after a courageous and optimistic battle with breast cancer.
Julie was born on December 31, 1954, in Alexandria, Louisiana to Anthony and Mary Ann Mowad.
Julie is survived by her two sisters, Toni Mowad Cameron and her husband Don of Shreveport and Beth Mowad Strother and her husband Scotty of Baton Rouge.
She is also survived by her nephews Anthony Cameron, Will Strother, and Sam Strother, her nieces Donna Cameron, Melissa LaCour, and Jennifer Cameron, as well as, many children in her family that affectionately called her "Aunt Julie".
Julie is a graduate of Oakdale High School, the University of New Orleans, and McNeese State University where she earned her Master's Degree in Education. She was an educator and administrator in Allen Parish at Oakdale Middle and High Schools.
She was an avid sports fan and coached girls' high school softball for many years. Her friends fondly recall her passionate love for LSU sports, particularly football. She definitely bled purple and gold. Julie loved her nephews, nieces, and cousins, and although she had no children of her own, she had many children to whom she was a nurturer, role model, and loving guardian. Even during the time of her illness, her faith and optimism were always exhibited in her courageous fight with cancer.
The family would like to thank Drs. Laura Falcon, Brien Bienvenu, and Mike Rolfsen for their wise and compassionate care of Julie during her very complex illness.
Visitation will be on Thursday, September 2, 2010 at Rush Funeral Home Oakdale from 4 PM until 9:00 PM, with a rosary at 7:00 PM. On Friday, September 3, 2010, visitation will be at the funeral home at 9 AM, with mass of Christian burial at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 11:00 AM.
