Myrtle Bulot Stipelcovich Doud

Myrtle Bulot Stipelcovich Doud, born in New Orleans, LA on November 18, 1919 entered into eternal rest on April 1, 2020 at the age 100 due to complications of COVID-19. Myrtle is preceded in death by her parents Albert Bulot and Louise Cazezu Bulot Davis, her brother Vernon Bulot, her eldest son Glen Stipelcovich, Sr., and his youngest daughter Vania Stipelcovich. Also preceded by first husband and father of all her children, Frank Stipelcovich, and second spouse Robert Doud. Myrtle will be dearly missed by her surviving family, her son, Jan Stipelcovich, Sr. (Paulette), her daughters, Cherie Niles, MD, Charlene Sciortino (Phil) and Jeannine Lindsey, RN (John, MD) and daughter-in-law, Judy Stipelcovich; her many grandchildren, Glen Stipelcovich, Jr. (Kelly), Lori Stipelcovich Barichivich (John), Stephen Stipelcovich (Rachel), Jan Stipelcovich, Jr. (Victoria), Jamie Stipelcovich Davidson (John), Jill Stipelcovich Mallette (Ken), Stewart Niles, III, Gia Sciortino Fenasci (Joey), Talia Sciortino (fiancé Jeff Robert), Natia Sciortino, Philip Sciortino (Jennifer), Jacquelyn Marie Lindsey, John Lindsey, Jr. and her 10 great grandchildren. Myrtle was the matriarch of her family and was devoted to her children, family, friends and most importantly her beliefs in God. She never, ever deviated from her true self. She honored God. She always had an outpouring of love, kindness and compassion. She never met a stranger as they immediately were attracted to her because she was all heart. And her heart was pure love. As her children, we are witnesses to her never engaging in gossip or saying a bad word about anyone. She always brought out the best in people. She was a great example of forgive and forget. We often chastised her, “Mother, not everyone in the world is nice”. She would not hear of it. She lived her Catholic faith and was fortunate to spend the last eight years of her life at Our Lady of Wisdom participating in daily rituals of her faith. But most of all surrounded by loving and caring attendants. Our family would like to thank Our Lady of Wisdom staff and Dr. Hector Cabrera for their care especially during her final days. Even though COVID-19 kept us her devoted family from her, our hearts and prayers were with her always, and hers with us. There is no doubt. Our family is saddened by Myrtle’s passing and she will be dearly missed.
