Sheri Oubre Obituary

OUBRE Sheri Haley Oubre, a wonderful wife, a loving mother, an extraordinary friend and a true disciple, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2010 at St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Covington, Louisiana after a long courageous fight with breast cancer. She was 40. Sheri was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, grew up in Metairie, LA, and lived the past 7 years in Mandeville. She graduated from East Jefferson High School and attended Louisiana State University and graduated from John Jay Beauty College. She was employed by Salon D'Nova. She was a parishioner of Our Lady of the Lake Church. For six years, Sheri's passion was cheering as a Saintsation for the New Orleans Saints. Everyone needs a cheerleader and Sheri exemplified this to everyone she touched. Survivors include her husband, Joseph Oubre; her daughter, Haley Lynn Oubre; her father, Jimmy R. Haley; her late mother, Patsy Barnes Haley; three sisters, Teri Haley D'Gerolamo (Harry), Christina Haley Chifici (Eric), Ashley Haley Vazeen (Matti), brother, Donald Haley (Dottie); in-laws, Lynn and Lois Oubre; and sister-in-law, Susan Prados (Dan); nieces and nephews, Elizabeth and Shannon Haley, Dane, Jarrod and Alexa D'Gerolamo, Erica and Nicholas Chifici, Cameron and Isabella Vazeen, Megan, Jared and Scott Prados. The Lord gave her such beauty and grace. Now He has taken her home. She has been given the ultimate healing. A Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, December 23, 2010 at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., at 1:00 PM. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM on Thursday prior to the funeral mass. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Susan G.

It breaks my heart that Sheri has left this earth far too soon. We met during tryouts for T.H. Harris Drill Team 28 yrs ago, and became fast friends. She was such a sweet soul and good friend. She fought so bravely, and I'm glad she is now at peace and pain free. God bless you, and your family, and may Sheri watch over you as an angel from high above.

I am a former Our Lady of the Lake School parent (my son graduated OLL School 7th Grade in May 2010) who heard of Mrs. Oubre's illness through the school while my son attended there. I have offered Perpetual Adoration Chapel hours for Mrs. Oubre and prayed that St. Therese of Lisieux and Zelie Martin, St. Therese's mom, would intercede for Mrs. Oubre since St. Therese's own mother Zelie also had breast cancer. I pray that St. Therese and Zelie Martin are welcoming Mrs. Oubre now in heaven, and will continue to intercede for your family and loved ones at this sad time. God bless you all, and in deepest sympathy.

I was talking about Sheri to a friend and she had this to share. When I heard it a smile came to my face because in heaven or not this is what walking in to a room of strangers would be like for Sheri;
"Passing at Christmas.....must be like walking into a huge party and suddenly finding yourself with a whole new family you did not know anything about, who welcome you with open arms and love!!" She is at peace now Joey and will never leave our hearts.
