Medford William Magill
Medford William Magill
Surrounded by family and friends, he passed away Friday, Oct. 22, 2010, at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. A native of Hendrickson, Mo., he spent most of his adult life as a resident of Baton Rouge and was retired from the Louisiana School for the Deaf, where he was a vocational educator for 34 years. He was 80, born Jan. 15, 1930, to George Roy Magill and Nellie Mae Foster Magill in Hendrickson. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Gertrude Ann Magill; two sons, Medford Jr. and wife Wendy Breard Magill, and Paul Magill and wife Susan Becnel Magill, of Atlanta; a daughter, Victoria Magill Cookson, of Springfield, Mo.; and four beloved grandchildren, Paul Magill Jr., Kelly Magill, Molly Magill and Trenton Magill. He is also survived by a brother, Gordon Magill, of Popular Bluff, Mo.; and sister, Lula Belle Taylor and husband Bill Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Clyde, Don, Eugene and Norman; and sisters, Mary and Ida. Class president and valedictorian of the Missouri School for the Deaf, Class of 1949, he earned a bachelor of science in 1954 from Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. Living his class motto of "Deeds, Not Words," he was a passionate advocate for the deaf community of Louisiana, serving in leadership positions of the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf, National Association of the Deaf, Louisiana Commission for the Deaf, Louisiana Association of the Deaf, the Baton Rouge Association of the Deaf and several more state and local committees. As an ambassador for the deaf community, he was instrumental in the establishment of the statewide Louisiana Relay Service in use today for the deaf to communicate via telephone or video phone. He spent many hours working charity bingo for the Louisiana Association of the Deaf. He was an avid fisherman and the first president of The National Bass Association of the Deaf, founded in 1967. He served as president for three years and participated in 32 annual tournaments. He also enjoyed many years of bowling with the Baton Rouge Deaf Bowling Association. He was a talented woodcraftsman and all around jack-of-all-trades. With all of his personal and professional accomplishments, his sense of humor is very likely what people will remember most about Medford. Visitation will be at Greenoaks Funeral Home, 9595 Florida Blvd., on Sunday, Oct. 24, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visitation resumes at the funeral home Monday, Oct. 25, from 8 a.m. until funeral and burial service at 9 a.m., conducted by the Rev.

Deville, Laura Belle Domingue
Deville, Laura Belle Domingue
Laura Belle Domingue Deville died peacefully in her home on Thursday, July 16. She was a resident of Baton Rouge and a native of Scott, Louisiana. To those who loved her, their lives will never be the same as she was a loving mother, grandmother, loyal friend and advocate.
She was born on October 23rd, 1926 to Lucas and Edith Domingue. She grew up in Duson, LA and graduated from Duson Elementary and then from Scott High School in 1943 at the age of 16. She graduated from Southwestern Louisiana Institute, now known as University of Louisiana – Lafayette in 1946 graduating in less than three years where she was president of the Girls Club – the largest female organization on campus. She returned to teach at Duson Elementary where she was a 4H leader, who lead the school to many awards and was even their boxing coach.
She met her husband Elliott Deville, who served in the Navy in the South Pacific, through writing letters during World War II as part of the Girl’s Club college project to support the troops. They married in 1950 and settled in Iota, LA where she taught science for two years before starting a family. They were married for 45 years.
In 1952, her first son Glen E. Deville was born deaf. His deafness would help change the course of deaf education in Louisiana. A courageous woman, she researched deafness, learned of special courses, and realizing there was limited services available for deaf children, began a journey to crusade for change. She was a relentless volunteer for the deaf and handicapped individuals and served as an unpaid lobbyist until the State of Louisiana funded and completed the new Louisiana School for the Deaf. She changed laws to better the lives of deaf individuals. She was equally involved with her three hearing children and devoted to her family, supporting all of their interests. Her true gift to us was her unconditional love, and her love was unwavering.
She was proud of being part of what Tom Brokaw called the “Greatest Generation.” In 1958, her husband and brother started a business, and she was integrally involved in the start-up of the business , which is known today as Chem Spray South, Inc. She was the CEO of our family – the Chief Emotional Officer. Though thought of as a homemaker, she was a capable businesswoman and was a partner with her husband in every way.
She cherished her family, was a champion for the rights of deaf people and believed in her Catholic faith. She was an agent of change, fought for the underdog and was steady, dignified, intelligent, tenacious, fair, a fighter, tough, accepting, honest, determined, compassionate, forgiving, witty, and most of all loving.
Laura Belle Domingue Deville left=2 0this world a better place and her spirit lives in all of her children and their spouses, grand children, great grandchildren and the family and friends, who have been so blessed to be loved by this wonderful, loving being. Visitation will take place on Monday, July 20 at Rabenhorst Funeral Home located at 823 Government Street beginning at 2 p.m. with a special memorial service at 6 p.m. A mass will be held on Tuesday, July 21 at 10:00am at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Grand Prairie, LA, followed by a Catholic burial at St. Peter’s Catholic Cemetery.

I’m free; don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day;
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of day.
If parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my times seemed all too brief:
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now, he set me free.
