Jane Wicker Obituary

Jane Trepagnier Wicker died on Saturday, September 19, at the age of 87. Survived by her beloved husband of nearly 25 years, the Honorable Thomas C. Wicker, Jr. Mother of Wendy Daboval (Danny) of Houston, Texas, and Jim Frilot (Kim) of Orlando, Florida. Grandmother of Dwight Daboval, Dorothy Daboval of Houston, Texas, Robert Daboval (Catherine) of Houston, Texas, and Courtney Frilot of Lansing, Michigan. Step-mother of Carey Wicker (Ricky) and Cathy West (Tommy) of Mandeville, Louisiana. Step-grandmother of Freddi Bashaw (Jeff), T.C. Wicker, Ben Wicker, Patrick West, Catherine West, and Stephen West. Jane was born in New Orleans on July 11, 1933 to Alma Milliken Trepagnier and Horace E. Trepagnier, who predecease her. She is also predeceased by her brother, Horace E. (Sonny) Trepagnier, Jr. and his wife Mary Jane Trepagnier. Jane attended St. Mary Dominican High School, and Loyola University, where she graduated with a degree in elementary education. For several years, she taught children ages four to seven, later working as a fashion consultant and representative. Jane was always dressed to a tee. Her smiling face and gracious ways brought her a wide and loving circle of friends.
