Debra LoCicero

While holding the hand of her loving husband, Joey, Debra Ladner LoCicero took her final breath on Monday, November 30, 2020. The world has lost a wonderful spirit as well as a die-hard fan of Elvis' and Rod Stewart's music, an avid antique car fan, and a well-traveled RVer and motorcycle rider. Debbie grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana as the daughter of Mildred Lands and Jerry Ladner. She was a graduate of the Academy of Holy Angels High School, class of 1974. She went on to work as office manager for the prestigious New Orleans law firm Murphy, Rogers, Sloss, Gambel and Tompkins. Her most beloved role was as soul mate and devoted life partner and wife to Joseph Anthony LoCicero, Jr. for 25 years. She will be remembered for her ever-charming smile, her love of life and the people around her: always willing to assist and to encourage. She was a member of St. Anselm Catholic Church and a prayer partner for anyone in need. Debbie was preceded in death by her father and is survived by her mother, husband, and sister. She is, at last, in the peaceful and loving arms of God. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a visitation on Friday, December 4, 2020, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at Serenity Funeral Home, 20419 Highway. 36, Covington, LA 70433. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Saturday, December 5, 2020, at 12:30 p.m. at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 501 Holy Trinity Drive, Covington, LA. Interment will follow at Eternal Rest Cemetery, 75212 Lee Road, Covington. The family would like to express thanks to their wonderful friends for their never-ending support, love, and prayers.
