Teresa Paula Pitre

June 12, 1953 — October 17, 2019

Teresa Paula Pitre, a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away on October 17, 2019 at the age of 66. Beloved wife of the late Joseph C. “J.C.” Pitre. Teresa is survived by her children, whom she called her jewels, and took loving care of her in her final days, Lisa Pitre Rupp (Murtagh), Lori Pitre, Brian Pitre (Raiza) and Margarete Pitre, and the late Jennifer. Grandmother of Cody Pitre, Victoria Pitre, Isabella Pitre, Gabriel Pitre, Brandy Rupp Peed, Josh Peed, and the late Joseph. Great-grandmother of Lucas, Ella, Julia, and Jackson. Daughter of the late Ella Wiedmann Brown and James Wright. Sister of Mattie Brown Rutherford (Chuck), and the late Margarete Patton, Sylvia Armentor, and Arthur Derek Brown. Aunt of Asa Rutherford.
Teresa was born on June 12, 1953 in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1963, Teresa, along with her mother, stepfather, and siblings Sylvia, Margarete, and Derek, immigrated to New Orleans, LA. One of Teresa’s passions was cooking and making sure everyone who stepped into her home left with a full heart and a full belly. Some of her favorite dishes included gumbo, meatballs and spaghetti, German-style potato salad, vegetable soup, and red beans and rice. Teresa was strong, lively, and known for her caring spirit. She loved to dance and had a wonderful sense of humor, which she carried with her into her final days. She will be greatly missed by many who had the blessing of knowing her. The Pitre family would like to give “Thanks” to the staff members of Hospice Associates.
