Ruth Ann Fox Arabie

December 21, 1933 — June 14, 2018

Ruth Ann (Fox) Arabie, 84, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2018, at Wynhoven HealthCare Center, following an extended illness. She was born December 21, 1933. Mrs. Arabie was the youngest of 10 children born to Thomas Aloysius Fox Sr. and Ruby Lucille (Walsh) Fox. In 1957, she graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a BA degree in elementary education. In 1959, she married (the late) Delmire Joseph Arabie and traveled around the world with him, having lived in such exotic locations as Chad (Central Africa), Indonesia and Singapore. Upon returning to the United States, she served as an elementary school teacher for Jefferson Parish Schools. Mrs. Arabie was truly a beautiful and enormously talented individual who will be remembered for her many gifts, especially her wit, creativity, style and ability to play piano—and most especially for her vivacious spirit and how much she loved life and loved other people. She is survived by companion Bruce Kerr, lifetime friend Mrs. Marian Williams, Martin B. Fox, Jr. (Godson/ Nephew) and nieces and nephews: Janice Bradberry (Joe), Pat Touzin (Page Kohlepp), William Michel, Jean Doyle-Matthieu (Ray), David Michel (Sheri), Lynn Cornelison (Dennis), Terrilynn Quillen (William), the late Daniel Fox (Christine), Thomas Fox, III, Rachelle Adams (Randy), James Fox, Jr. (Cher) and Kevin Fox.
