Doris Aswad Obituary

Doris "MawMaw" Mae Adamson Aswad passed away peacefully at home in the presence of family on Sunday, September 1, 2024 at the age of 90. Loving wife of the late Roland C. Aswad; beloved mother of Valerie Greene (Richard), Catherine Windham (Bryan), Joann Aswad, and Steven Aswad (Carol). She was preceded in death by her children Elaine Hassell (Tom) and Roland C. Aswad II (Sandy). She is survived by her loving grandchildren, Sarah Perkins (Shane), Thomas Hassell Jr, William Bayhi Jr., Adrienne Landry (Zachary), Rainna Moran (Ryan), Rhiannon Aswad, and Steven Aswad II, and 7 great-grandchildren. Doris was a stay-at-home Mom, raising her family to be strong, independent individuals. After raising her own children, she cherished the opportunity to help raise her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a person that gave of herself without hesitation, serving as Eucharistic Minister at St. Agnes Church and volunteering in the choir. In honor of her outstanding service she was awarded the St. Louis Medallion by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Doris lived a full and blessed life, and will be dearly missed by all whose lives she touched.

Yo Momma!
You were an angel on earth and one of the most kindhearted, gentle people I ever knew. I often told you that if my mother wasn't my mother and if I could have chosen one, it would have been you. I was blessed to know you and have you as my mother-in-law. You will be greatly missed by all of us, and we hope and pray that you are at peace in god's heavenly kingdom surrounded by family and friends. Until we meet again in paradise, love Richard.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you all. May God give you comfort during this very difficult time. Please know that your loved one is safe in God´s memory (Proverbs 14:14,15). Just as God brought his son Jesus Christ back to life, he will do the same for your loved one as he has promised.
