James Andrew Hebert

James Andrew Hebert passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at the age of 70. He was the lifelong companion of 52 years and beloved husband of Marsha St. Philip Hebert. Loving father of Jeff Hebert (Erica), Scott Hebert (Danielle) and Catherine Lindheim (Ricky). Son of the late Wilbur and Catherine Culotta Hebert. Brother of Ronald Hebert, Gary Hebert and the late Wilbur Hebert Jr. Proud grandfather of Eli Hebert, Luke Hebert, Devin Lindheim and Bella Rose Hebert. He is also survived and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

James was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of St. Bernard Parish before settling in Slidell, LA. He was a devoted volunteer at the World War II Museum in New Orleans, a graduate and member of the alumni association of U.L., graduate of Chalmette High School class of ’68, member of the Retired Teachers Association and a member of Theta Xi fraternity. James truly enjoyed life through his pastimes and pleasures of golfing, woodworking, carpentry, serving as both a coach & umpire and especially spending time with his family and close friends. His love for the New Orleans Saints and his passion for the New York Mets was surpassed only by the love for his grandchildren. James will always be remembered for his loyalty and dedication to his family, his caring and loving heart, his wonderful sense of humor, his playful sarcasm, contagious laughter, and spoiling the grandchildren. He was our pillar of courage and strength and a wonderful example of what it means to care for others.
