Deborah "Debbie" Scioneaux Neff

Deborah Scioneaux Neff entered peacefully into heaven on Monday, September 2, 2019 after a courageous ten year battle with metastatic breast cancer. She was 62 years old. She passed away at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Deborah was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, daughter of Lillian Fontana Scioneaux and the late Earl Anthony Scioneaux, Sr, and was a lifelong resident of the Westbank. She is survived by her daughter, Shelby Neff Strong (Ricky), and her grandson, Remy. Sister of Pamela Scioneaux Tapie, Earl Anthony Scioneaux, Jr. (Kathy) and Peter John Scioneaux. She is also survived by numerous loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends. Deborah retired from Tulane University Hospital and Clinic after 27 years of dedicated service as a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit. She loved shopping for great deals, enjoying delicious food, traveling, cheering for the Saints, and spending time with her family and friends. Like a true New Orleans native, her favorite holiday was Mardi Gras and she spent many years riding as a member of the krewes of Cleopatra and Morpheus, and staking out a prime viewing location for Uptown parades at the corner of St. Charles and Common. The family would like to extend their appreciation to the doctors and nurses of Tulane Cancer Center, and the staff of Passages Hospice, for the care given to their dear Debbie. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life at Westside Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 5101 Westbank Expy., Marrero, LA on Sunday, September 8, 2019 at 2:30 pm. Visitation from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, Debbie wished for friends and loved ones to be screened for cancer, in honor of her fight.
