In loving memory of Tana Stechmann Guercia, 84, a cherished widow, mother, and grandmother. Tana was the loving wife to the late Salvadore A. Guercia. Caring mother to Tana G. DeJean (Raymond). Proud grandmother of Raymond L. DeJean, Jr. (Amber), Rashelle L. DeJean (Billy) and Jessica D. Vinterella (Carl); great- grandmother of Parker, Emma Kate and Cecilia; sister to Katherine S. Landry. She is preceded in death by her parents, Karl Stechmann and Flora L. Stechmann; her brother Karl J. Stechmann.
She was a beacon of strength and love, having graduated from Francis T. Nichols High School and calling Mandeville home for over two decades. With a career spanning over 50 years in sales, she possessed an unmatched ability to sell anything, a testament to her dedication and charisma. Known for her vibrant energy and zest for life, she found joy in connecting with people and indulging in her passions, whether it be shopping or playing the slot machines. Her unwavering enthusiasm kept her constantly on the move, and her love for cleanliness and laundry was a reflection of her nurturing spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of
love, laughter, and resilience, forever etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Special thanks to St. Joseph’s Hospice.
