Louise Robbert Huete

On May 30, 2024 a chorus of Saints and Angels escorted Louise Robbert Huete (Weeze) up to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior. She is now at peace after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease and Lewey Body Dementia. Louise was born in New Orleans on April 21, 1951 to her parents Albert August and Anna Dell Thiac Robbert Jr. She is survived by her husband of forty-six years, Ernest T. (Ted) Huete, her son Scott Robbert Huete (Whitney), and her three grandchildren, who were the light of her life, William, Camille and Andrew Huete. Louise was predeceased by her parents, her sister Leslie Robbert Marsh and her brother Randolph E. D. Robbert. Louise is also survived by her siblings Albert A. Robbert III, John F. Robbert and Lisette R. Fabacher, step-daughters Ann Glazner and Karen Zahn, step-son John Huete, and a multitude of nieces and nephews, Lieske Renz, Suzanne Robbert, Helen Marsh, Andrew Robbert, Bradley Robbert, Jeffrey Robbert, James Fabacher, Erik Fabacher. Louise retired from St. Michael School and enjoyed working with the children of St. Michael’s, first in the nursery then school-wide as the first smile you would see at the front desk. She loved her time with the students and faculty of St. Michael’s, including going to the movies and bowling with their group of ‘Go Go Girls’. Louise graduated from Ursuline Academy and attended Spring Hill College. She was a longtime member of the Louisiana Colonials and a devout parishioner of St. Dominic Parish, where she was a Eucharistic Minister and past president of the Mother’s club. Louise was a dedicated swim team mom for the Southern Yacht Club Seagulls and could be seen cheering on her son and his friends at every meet throughout Scott’s swimming career until he finished it at Jesuit High School. She served on the Jesuit Mother’s club and loved her Jesuit Blue Jays. Louise always kept in touch with her Ursuline Sioux Class of ‘69 and looked forward to their weekly zoom meetings until she was no longer able to participate - she was truly an ‘Ursuline Girl’. She was a fixture over the years at Southern Yacht Club functions, where she was a maid in the Bards of the Bilges carnival ball in 2000. Additionally Louise loved to needlepoint and enjoyed creating needlepoint pieces for family and friends. She loved traveling and took trips to Germany (including before the Berlin wall was torn down), London, Paris, Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium. But nothing excited her more than family vacations to Navarre Beach and Disney World with her ‘Scotty Boy’. Louise supported the Michael J. Fox Foundation in hopes of one day finding a cure for Parkinson’s.

“God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. So he wrapped his arms around you and whispered ‘Come Unto Me’. You didn’t deserve what you went through, so he gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, I could not wish you back to suffer that again.”

Funeral services will be held on Thursday June 6, 2024 at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, 2701 State Street, New Orleans, LA. Visitation will be from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with a funeral mass to follow. Internment will take place at Lake Lawn Cemetery. The family would like to thank the 2nd floor staff at Chateau de Notre Dame and Notre Dame Hospice for the wonderful care and friendship they provided to Louise. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Michael Special School, 1522 Chippewa St., New Orleans, LA 70130.
