Sarah Ann Meric

I'll think of Ann every year at Mardi Gras, among many other times. For so many years, hers (along with Gay Batson's, Terry Gerstner's and others) was the voice of Carnival's closing moments. She, like the Meeting of the Courts broadcast, became a local legend. In addition to being a talented announcer and actress, she was also a gracious and giving person. My colleagues in the Press Club of New Orleans send condolences as well.

Ann was a wonderful and talented lady. I am so grateful that we were able to interview her about the days she was a host of The Meeting of the Courts of Rex and Comus. She was truly an instituion and will be missed by many.

Ann Meric was a brilliant actress and a warm, loving person. I admired her artistry even more when I worked with her
