News Star World - January 20, 2015
Theodosia Greer Barr, 83, peacefully departed this life on Sunday, January 18, 2015, at Northern Louisiana Medical Center in Ruston, Louisiana, following a brief illness.
The youngest of fourteen children, Theo was born to William Jasper and Lela Wallace Greer in Alto, Louisiana, on November 19, 1931, and grew up near Rayville.
Following high school, she married Arliss Morelle Barr of Vernon, and they made their home in Ruston. While their five children were growing up, Theo was a stay-at-home mom who fostered an environment of spiritual, social, cultural, and intellectual development for her kids. She was an excellent cook and served delicious meals to her family. Theo loved music, was adept at whistling, and had a lovely soprano voice. One of her favorite activities was playing games, especially Scrabble and Phase 10, with Morelle, their children and grandchildren, and besting her was always a challenge.
Theo never met a stranger. Her warm personality, gift for gab, tenacity, and attention to detail brought her great success as an Avon representative, a women's clothing salesperson, and a real estate agent and broker. Before she retired, she founded and owned Chautauqua Realty. She and Morelle, who were married for over sixty years, were both very active members of Southside Baptist Church, where Theo sang in the choir for many years. They loved to travel; Branson, Missouri was their favorite destination, and they enjoyed several cruises. Following Morelle's death in 2011, she moved to the Arbor of Ruston and was a resident there for almost four years.
Theo is survived by five children and their spouses: Debbie Barr Hancock and husband, Tawny, of Alexandria; Mike Barr and wife, Kay, of Vernon; Danny Barr and wife, JoAnn, of Ruston; Sherri Barr Pearce and husband, Jim, of Ruston; and Chris Barr and wife, Lisa, of Ruston.

GARRISON LEE BARR
News Star World August 15, 2017
Garrison Lee Barr, 26, of Choudrant, LA passed away on August 12, 2017. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 16, 2017 at 10:00 AM at First Baptist Church of Ruston, LA. Rev. Bill Sanderson, assisted by Bro. Neil Everett and Dr. Chris Craig, will officiate. Interment will follow at Choudrant Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home of Ruston, LA. Visitation will be Tuesday, August 15, 2017 from 5-8 PM at First Baptist Church of Ruston.
Love. Agape love. Love without bounds and unconditional.
Garrison was the firstborn son of Gary and Lori Barr and the "big brother" to Claire, Ethan, and Jack. What some may consider a burden, the family has grown to think of as a blessing. Garrison and autism were a true blessing to all those who loved him. Garrison has helped the family learn the beauty of patience, the power of prayer, and the meaning of compassion.
When thinking about Garrison, it was evident he was happy and loved. Although Garrison did not communicate with words, he communicated well. In fact, Pop's prayers that Garrison will talk are made evident now in Heaven. It was evident that he was quite aware of what was going on in his world, was able to get his needs met, and show his love. He was compassionate, even to his favorite pup, Gabanna. Although Garrison was starving, he would stop and feed the dog first. He enjoyed order and knew the ways things "should" be. So much so, that if something (regardless of what it was) was out of place, he would rightly remove it, most often to its "rightful" place of the trash. Garrison is described as the "Keeper of the Door". He was the one that would let the dogs in and out… even the "forbidden ones". He took after his Mur for his love of animals.
He loved his family and close friends; however, he enjoyed his "alone" time. Frequently Garrison would get up from his "Burt Reynolds' pose" on the bed, go to the door and close it when others would leave. He would be seen pondering off into the sky, oftentimes, causing others to wish they knew what was swirling in his head. Garrison's thought life was rich, indeed. Swimming and being in water seemed to give Garrison peace. One is reminded of the Living Water, the Holy Spirit that would surround Garrison when he swam and showered. Yes, Jesus knew him well!!!
The family will truly miss seeing him making laps around the house and pool, opening chip bags in the middle, finding brownies with the middle eaten out, opening pizza boxes with the toppings being devoured, laughing when he "stole" a strangers chicken leg in a restaurant, the elbow fist-bumps, and having to explain that every can of Coca-cola was "actually" Garrison's.
Garrison was dedicated to the Lord at First Baptist Church of Choudrant. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: "Pops", Jerry Lovett, Sr.; "Granddaddy", Iley Barr; "Mur", Irene Barr; and uncles: Earnest Conn and Bobby Ambrose.
Survivors include his parents, Gary and Lori Barr of Choudrant, LA; sister, Claire Barr of Choudrant; brothers, Ethan Barr and Jack Barr of Choudrant; grandparent, "Nana", Joyce Williamson Lovett of Calhoun, LA; aunts and uncles: Julie Aswell and husband, Werner; Jerry Lee Lovett, Jr. and wife, Amelia; aunts, Jeanette Conn and Barbara George and husband, W. H.; and a host of beloved cousins.
Memorials may be made to Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoe Boxes, Med Camps of LA, and/or Gideon Bibles International.
Pallbearers include Taylor Aswell, Jeffrey Housley, Jade Gabb, Josh Sanderson, Heath Crocker, Lane Odom, Jurdon Thomas, Blake Thomas, Garrett Burch, and Heath Sadler.
The family wishes to thank his respite workers, Sherry Davis and Lori Zumwalt for their excellent care.

LIONEL GENNARO BARRAZA
News Star World - July 30, 2015
Lionel Gennaro Barraza was a handsome, smart and honorable gentleman who shared his love of life, his surprising sense of humor and unparalleled generosity with everyone he encountered. A dedicated and compassionate physician who received special recognition for his 50 years of professional service, Lionel pioneered diagnostic radiology at St. Francis Hospital and furthered its advancement by starting the Radiological Technology program at ULM.
He was also an accomplished artist, cartoonist, photographer and meticulous craftsman who appreciated beauty and reveled in numerous hobbies which he mastered. A patient teacher, he instilled in his children and grandchildren a love of creativity and learning - about horticulture and orchid growing, birding, fishing, golf, archery, wine-making and mixology, model ship building, coin, stamp and map collecting, ballroom dancing, travel and outdoor adventure. He shared his appreciation of all music styles and of movies, and remembered every actor's name. Lionel's commitment, passion and gentle influence is evidenced today by the many young people - both family and friends - whose professional and private lives he inspired and nurtured.
Lionel was born on July 4, 1925, in the great City of New Orleans, Louisiana, a place that always retained a special place in his heart. His mother, Josephine "Gommie" Barraza, a beautiful Godchaux model, put Lionel and his brother Donald through their esteemed Jesuit High School after their father, Lionel Rudolph Barraza, passed away. Lionel attended Loyola University before being recruited to Officer Candidate School (V12) where he was the "single Southerner" at Notre Dame. There he perfected and retained throughout life what his family jokingly called his perfect "radio accent."
During World War II Lionel was Navy Ensign, Division Officer and Diary Photographer for the Blatchford, the largest troop transport ship in the Navy. Traveling from the California coast to ports around the world he documented in pictures ship maneuvers, war-ravaged cities, historic landmarks and people in places all over the Pacific. Along with the ship's Captain, Lionel was one of the first three men to set foot on Nagasaki after the atomic bomb devastated the Japanese city. He spoke often of the appalling silence on the island, where not even insects or birds survived. Recently he gave recorded testimony about his war-time experiences which are housed in the National Archives in Washington DC.
After the War, Lionel returned to New Orleans and graduated from Tulane University and LSU Medical School. After Lionel's internship and residency in Cleveland, Ohio and Columbus, GA, the Barraza family settled in Monroe, LA, where they were at home close to extended family.
Lionel adored more than anyone and anything his wife of 65 years, Mary Elise Frellsen Barraza of Baskin, LA. The two met at Charity Hospital in New Orleans when Lionel was a medical student and "M'Elise" was head nurse in the surgical ward. She scolded Lionel and his fellow students for leaving an elderly patient fully exposed during examination. Lionel was wowed by her confident smarts, her dignity and sense of humanity, and within three months they were married. Together the couple lovingly raised four children and enjoyed a happy presence in the lives of nine grandchildren.
Lionel's memory will be forever present in the lives of his surviving wife Mary Elise; son Dr. Mike Barraza of Monroe, his wife Dr. Janis Bunch, their four children - grandson Dr. Michael Barraza and wife Ashley with great- granddaughter Abigail of Nashville, TN, granddaughters Julie Barraza of Monroe and Aimee Barraza of New York, and grandson Daniel Barraza at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA; Daughter Ann Daigle of New Orleans, granddaughter Laura Daigle and partner Scott Norris of New Orleans, great-granddaughter Olivia Eleanor Norris, granddaughter Jennifer Hendricks and husband Matt; Daughter Laura French of Dallas, TX, and husband James, granddaughters Alexandra French of New York and Camille French of Dallas, TX; Daughter Robin Coulter and husband Ernie Coulter, with grandson Nick Coulter and granddaughter Cate Coulter of Dallas, TX.
Lionel passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on July 28, 2015. Visitation will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, July 31, in Kilbourne Hall at Grace Episcopal Church. The service will follow at 2:00 in the sanctuary. Lionel will be interred in the Grace Columbarium.
