Gretel B. Verret

Gretel B. Verret passed away peacefully Saturday, October 3, 2020 at the age of 90. The late Henry E. and Johnnie R. Verret were her loving parents who Gretel adored. She is survived by a niece, Cynthia Verret and numerous first and second cousins. Her devoted friends were Sarah Taylor, Roseanne and David Bealer, Larry and Karen Chairs, Dave and Jackie Williams, Lorraine Sullen, Elaine and EugeneBaxter, Sonny, Don and Mary Ann Randon. Numerous words can be used to accurately describe Gretel Verret: Quick witted, spunky, smart, articulate, a real character. A Royal family expert, avid reader, generous, loyal, and dedicated to her pups. The list goes on and on. One usually doesn’t have the good fortune to know someone quite like Gretel. Whether she was at the veterinarian’s office, the supermarket or the drug store, she made her presence known with her comedic and engaging outgoing personality. Everyone knew Miss Gretel. She spent over forty years with South Central Bell and became a supervisor of a large staff of telephone operators. During those years, she had perfect attendance never missing work or being tardy. Her greatest joy in life was loving and raising her numerous pups over the years. She had an affinity for Chihuahuas but never turned any dog away. They were her children. Special thanks to Dr. Charles Hesse and Dr. David Hesse, DVM for their wonderful and generous care of Gretel’s furry friends. Also our sincere thanks and appreciation for Dr. Simonson and staff of Marrero Health Care Center for their wonderful care of Gretel over the past two years.
