Don Carl Albert passed away on May 5, 2019. Beloved husband of Lynn Nguyen Albert. Father of Samuel Albert. Son of Betty Cram Albert and the late “Beannie” Frank Bryant Albert. Brother of Roy Albert and Glenda Juka (Ronnie). Age 64 years, born in Port Arthur, TX and resident of Belle Chasse, LA. Donnie had a gruff exterior and a huge generous heart. He was an engaging conversationalist who loved to tell corny jokes. He enjoyed cooking too much food for his small family and also playing football… as the Monday morning quarterback. Donnie worked in Refining as an Operator/Supervisor for most of his adult career. He was passionate about safety and doing right. He made many friendships and was a respected coworker, friend, brother, son, father, and husband.
In January of 2018, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The disease took away his ability to speak early on and then gradually attacked his respiratory system. Though his last months of life were difficult, he was kept comfortable thanks to Guardian Angels Hospice (Angie, Dee, & Dr. Kantrow) and Anjanette. The family also extends their thanks to the Ochsner ALS Clinic (Je’na & Dr. Larriviere).
