Conchetta DeBattista Dubret, a loving wife and mother, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2019 at the age of 93. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 41 years, John J. Dubret.  Conchetta was the daughter of the late Joseph DeBattista and Angelina Mancuso DeBattista.

She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
Conchetta’s deeply Italian upbringing taught her to value her Catholic faith, family, and good food shared with loved ones. Her parents were from Lampedusa and Ustica, Italy and immigrated to the United States seven years prior to Conchetta’s birth. Though as Italian as they come, Conchetta was born and raised in Algiers, Louisiana. She grew up on her family’s farm and graduated from Behrman High School. With her husband, John, Conchetta started a family business, Briteway Cleaners, which operated for 47 years. Conchetta’s love for her family was rooted in her faith. She was a devout Catholic and a parishioner of Holy Name of Mary and St. Julian Eymard Churches. She was an active member of the St. Julian Eymard Sodality.
Conchetta knew how to bring people together and offered herself to others with great selflessness and humility. She will be remembered for her strength, generosity, wit, and, most importantly, how greatly she loved.
The family extends their gratitude to Annie and Iris Fulford for their loving care of Conchetta over the past year. The family also would like to thank Natalie Millet and the staff at St. Margaret’s at Mercy for their loving care during her stay. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, 400 Verret Street in Algiers on Friday, August 23rd from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.  A funeral mass will follow and interment will be at Westlawn Memorial Park.
