Warren Laudumiey Obituary

Brother Warren Laudumiey died at St. Clare Manor Nursing Home in Baton Rouge, November 28, 2015. Ninety-five years old, he was the third of five children born to his parents, Fernand Laudumiey and Stella Anna Oehmichen. He used his baptismal name of Louis until he joined the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, making first vows at Metuchen, N.J., in 1937. Louis first met the Brothers as a student at St. Aloysius in New Orleans where he grew up on Rampart Street, speaking both French and English at home. Throughout his life, he frequently used the expression, "C'est la vie" to comment on life's ups and downs, all of which he took in stride. Brother Warren ministered in the Brothers' schools in six states as well as in Canada and Africa. He taught in Far Rockaway and Brooklyn, N.Y.; Metuchen, N.J.; Mobile and Daphne, AL; Houma and New Orleans, LA; Muskogee, OK; Bay St. Louis, MS; and Verdun, Canada. He also served five years as a missionary in Okaru in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Africa. For 12 years from 1976-1984, he held the position of provincial secretary for the New Orleans Province when its headquarters were in Bay St. Louis, MS. Brother Warren was preceded in death by his parents and his four siblings: two brothers Fernand Jr. and Paul Louis Laudumiey; and two sisters Marie Emma Laudumiey Grace and Claire Marie Laudumiey. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Since Brother Warren donated his body to science, there will be no regular wake or funeral services. There will be a Memorial Mass in the Brothers' chapel in Baton Rouge Saturday, December 5, at 5:00 p.m. for Brothers and friends. A similar service will take place in New Orleans at a time to be announced later. When his body is returned, his remains will be interred in the Brothers' Cemetery in Bay St. Louis through arrangements with Edmond Fahey Funeral Home there. Memorial donations in honor of Br. Warren may be sent to the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Foundation, 4600 Elysian Fields Ave., New Orleans, LA 70122. Edmond Fahey Funeral Home, Bay St. Louis, MS.

I did not have the pleasure of Brother Warren as a teacher at the Sacred Heart Juniorate in Daphne but he made study hall so pleasurable with his playing records of the musicals from Broadway. And boy did he play a mean game of handball!

Dear Brother Warren taught me when I was in the eighth grade, and was one the kindest, most patient, and gentlest, souls that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I was truly blessed to have had him as my teacher for Homeroom, Religion, and Reading.

He assisted Brother Rene' in teaching our Eighth Grade "Speed Reading" classes, and it was Brother Rene' who best summarized Brother Warren by referring to him as "portable goodness"!

I would see Brother Warren at various reunions, over the years, and he not only would remember me, but my parents as well, even though it had been a great many years since he had last seen them!

I really do believe that Brother Warren is a true saint, and was one of those rare individuals who, by his actions, showed that it is possible to live a holy life, even in these most trying of times.

I am certain that he is now in Heaven, with his Beloved Lord Jesus, fully enjoying his Eternal Life.

Br. Warren was a great influence in my life. I will always remember the handball games in Daphne, AL. This soft speaking giant of a man will remain with me forever.

Brother Warren taught me French for two years in High School. But in fact he taught me something far more valuable by the example of his life. He was a gentle soul, infinitely patient, generous of spirit with not a fiber of meanness in him. A light has gone out of this world and we will be the worse for it. Here's hoping that some of us will be a beacon as bright as was his.

Brother Warren was a great support when I was a young teacher at Brother Martin in the early 1990s, always encouraging in his comments and advice. He modeled faithfulness and patience. I am glad I knew him.
