ELIES Lorna Geralyn Leon Elies was born on July 5th, 1959 and passed away on Sunday, April 15th, 2012. She was the firstborn daughter of Marlene Milton Leon and the late John A. Leon, Jr. Lorna was the loving wife of Thierry Elies. The beloved mother of Brynn Noel Elies. She was the sister of John A. Leon III, Cindy Leon Soto, and Landon Leon. Lorna was preceded in passing by her grandparents: Wilfred and Louise Milton, Sr. and John A. Leon, Sr. She is survived by her grandmother, Dorothy Young Leon, Sr. She is the daughter-in-law of Marie Therese Simon Elies, and Yves Elies of Brittany, France. Lorna leaves behind her loving pet companion, Bijou, and a host of other relatives and friends, including the faculty and staff at the University of Lafayette. A Memorial Service will be held honoring the life of Lorna, at Trinity Episcopal Church located at 1329 Jackson Ave., New Orleans, LA 70130 on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 beginning promptly at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be given to the music department at Trinity Episcopal Church.

By enabeling the music to play on, Lorna would be happy knowing we celebrated her life through supporting the music she so loved.
