Daughter of the late Signa Charbonnet Coiron and George Alfred Coiron, Jr., Sisi died on February 18, 2016 from a broken heart after the sudden death of her son, Stephen Christopher Peller, just 4 days prior. She was 59 years old. Sisi is survived by her husband Frank E. Lamothe, III, her siblings George "Jack" Coiron (Mara) of New Orleans, Michele Coiron Swartz (Jesse) of Baltimore, John Coiron (Carol) of Winston-Salem and Pierre Coiron (Julie) of Atlanta. She is also survived by her step children Alexandra Lamothe Skaggs, Victorine Lamothe and Julien Lamothe. Born and raised in New Orleans, Sisi graduated from the Louise S. McGehee School. She attended Centenary College of Louisiana before receiving a BA degree from the University of New Orleans. Sisi brought so much joy, happiness and fun to her friends and family, and was sensitive and compassionate to all those around her. Sisi possessed just the right mix of creative talent and can-do attitude which led to many accomplishments. Like her mother, she spent many years selling real estate and had developed a real knack for renovating homes. She will also be remembered for her whimsical, locally-inspired artwork. She was an active board member of Save Our Cemeteries. She will be greatly missed by her family, Christopher's friends and her McGehee classmates. Funeral services for both Sisi and her son Chris will be on Friday, February 26, 2016 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., with visitation beginning at 10:30am and a Funeral Mass at 1:00pm. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Louise S. McGehee School Art Fund in memory of "Sisi" Coiron Lamothe, McGehee Class of '74.

It's said that God works in mysterious ways and the losses of both Sisi and her son certainly qualify for that adage. Life is so precious and tenuous and this dispels the "myth" that your emotional well being cannot adversely affect your health. In essence, Sisi, gave her life for the loss of her son, and that is the highest form of love there is. Kathleen and my hearts and prayers go out first and foremost to Sisi and Chris, also to Jack and his brothers, and of course to Mr. Frank Lamothe and his family who bear a terrible burden as well. May God shower His blessings on all of your!

Please accept our true sympathy upon the loss of Sisi and Steven. We went to college at Centenary (I was in Chi Omega) and always delighted in the joy Sisi brought to all of us. May the peace that passes all understanding come to abide in you. We will hold you close in our prayers. Rev Kathy Clark-Dickens and CAPT Van Dickens, USN, Chaplain Corps.

Michele, I am so very sorry for your loss. The Coirons were such a big part of our high school fun. Your parents' gracious nature - warm, fun and welcoming, was obviously passed down to their children. And our classmate and friend, Sisi, was all of the above. Love and prayers are with you and your family.

I want to tell you how terribly sad Rob, Jennifer and I are about your two tragic losses. I can't imagine the grief you are suffering from the loss of Stephen and Sisi. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

We are reminded of just how fragile our lives and our inner peace is. Our happiness hangs with tensile strength on keeping our loved ones close and safe. When we experience these losses, all of our resources and faith are challenged to our limits.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
With sincere sympathy,

Sisi was a poised, considerate and gentle sole. She was loved by all and chose he close friends carefully. Those of us who were privileged to have Sisi as a classmate at McGehee School, will never forget her hospitality on St. Charles Ave. Always a party at the Coiron household. I know that she is in a peaceful place and we will continue to reflect on God's love and how it unifies us all.

Sisi was both my second cousin and step-sister. Although I did not know her well, I was shocked to learn of the turn of events this past week and have been thinking of and praying for the whole family. So grateful to have one of her very creative t-shirts. How ironic that it says, in French, "Life is too short." A beautiful woman.
