Frank J. Lanzetta

Frank J Lanzetta, 81, left this earth for greener pastures on Sunday, July 24 at 3:40 am. He fought an uphill battle against Parkinsons' Disease for over 25 years. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas and Pauline Carey Lanzetta, his son, Troy A. Lanzetta, and his stepson, Barry "Todd" Lindsey. Frank is survived by his 30 year lover and companion, Ivy Bertaut, his stepson, Ronald Lindsey, his stepdaughters, Elizabeth Brown, Ivy Stierwald, Melanie Lanzetta, grandson, Kenny Brown and his younger brother James F. Lanzetta. He was fortunate to have and live near many cousins while young; including Eileen Rush, who has been steadfast with her help and concern during his last years. Frank was born and raised in New Orleans, and lived in Slidell in his middle years, where he worked for McGee Finance as a collection manager. Frank enjoyed many trips to far away lands, some of which he shared with parents and family. He was a generous man and always ready to help with a hammer, wrench or ladder, and always a fishing pole. He once watched LSU win the Sugar Bowl, on a computer while traveling in Brussels, Belgium. A raging snowstorm outside could not distract him. No matter where in the world he was, Frank carried LSU with him. His blood really did run purple and gold. We would like to express our gratitude to the New Orleans VA Hospital for excellent medical care and compassion shown to us over 25 years.
