In Loving Memory of Debra Robicheaux Mills - November 16, 1948 – December 16, 2025

Debra Robicheaux Mills, a devoted mother, grandmother, and caregiver, passed away peacefully after a life dedicated to family and service. Born on November 16, 1948, in Franklin, Louisiana, Debra grew up surrounded by the warmth of her close-knit community before settling in the greater New Orleans area, where she resided in Marrero, Lafitte, and Gretna.

Debra pursued her calling in healthcare, becoming a registered nurse and devoting her life to patient care. Her compassion and professionalism touched countless lives throughout her career, which she proudly concluded at Ochsner Hospital.

She was the beloved mother of three sons—Blaize (Tessa), Beau (Kristin), and Brady (Christina)—and the cherished grandmother of six: Blair, Brennan, Bradley, Blaize, Emerson, and Hayes. Debra was preceded in death by her loving husband of 38 years, Melvin Leonard Mills Jr., who passed away in 2007. She was the daughter of the late Harold and Wiley Landry Robicheaux and leaves behind her siblings Dale Robicheaux (Frances), Duffy Robicheaux (Cheryl), and Dixie Robicheaux Fontenot (Bobby), who, along with their children Corey, Ben, Dane, Cheli, Samuel, Courtni, Brandon and Mia, will forever treasure her memory. Debra also leaves behind sisters & brother-in-law Gretchel Mills King, Jann Mills Lamy (Ray), and P. Brechtel Mills.

Debra’s life was a testament to love, resilience, and service. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her family and all who were fortunate to know her.
