Leska Augusta Moore Maglone Weakley

Our Mom, Leska Weakley, died on Saturday, March 22, 2025, living 87 years. Mom graduated from Istrouma High School in 1955, attended college at Southeastern Louisiana University, retired from HAWCO and was a member of the First Baptist Church in Zachary, Louisiana.

Mom was born on September 15, 1937, to Fulton Davis Moore, Jr. and Leska Iris Powers Moore, (Gaga). She enjoyed the love of two larger than life husbands; the father of her children, Gordon Rice Maglone and her childhood sweetheart and renewed love, Pat Larry Weakley.

In addition to her husbands and parents, Mom buried three others dear to her heart. Her grandson, Reginald Daniel Ory, her great granddaughter Mallorie Rose Maglone and her grandson-in-law, Joseph (Joey) Ernie Lee Cart, Jr.

Mom loved her three children and those the Lord sent to marry them, Amy Denise (Daniel Ory), Joel Keith (Suzonne Chase) and Iris Jeanet (Vaughn Sutton). MawMaw’s grandchildren brought her much joy, Leska LaTrelle Oudkirk Cart, Gordon Lance Maglone and Brady Fulton Maglone. Grammie’s great grandchildren inspired renewed strength, Joseph Robert (JR) Cart, Georgia Grace (Gigi) Cart, Jack Belizaire Cart, Joel Michael Maglone and Rylee Jane Maglone. Her great-great grandson, Lee Allen Cart, inspired her to new hope.

Visiting for Mom will be held at the Slaughter United Methodist Church beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, March 28, 2025, and

continuing until religious services, officiated by Reverend Nan Riffe, at 11:00 a.m. Mom will be buried at the Feliciana Rest Cemetery. Friends and family are encouraged to return to the church for food and fellowship.

Pallbearers will be Joel Maglone, Lance Maglone, Joel Michael Maglone, Brady Maglone, JR Cart, Vaughn Sutton, Daniel Ory and Randy Maglone. Honorary Pallbearers will be Jack Cart and Lee Cart.

Mom was a Christian woman all her life. She raised us to be confident that she is with Jesus in heaven. She would encourage each of you to seek him yourself. He never fails.

Our family would like to thank Dr. Cosse, Amy Lee, Jeronica Profit, Hospice of Baton Rouge, Grace Health and Rehab and Oakwood Village for their loving and excellent care to our mother. We will always be grateful.
