Brenda Egan Sapp

Brenda Egan Sapp passed away peacefully at her home among family on Wednesday, August 19th, after a battle with Lewy Body Dementia. She was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of Metairie, LA.

Brenda is survived by her devoted husband of nearly 56 years, Edward J. Sapp and her loving children, Laura Sapp, Brian Sapp (Sonda Craven), and Kevin Sapp (Lacy). She was a doting Grandmother, affectionately called BaBa, to Gracyn and Paxton Sapp. She is also survived by two nieces, Debbie (Rick) Cooper of Metairie, LA, and Lisa (Joe) Harrington of Fort Worth, TX, nephew Fred (Michelle) LaGroue of Fort Worth, TX; and sister-in-law, Shirley Sapp of Indiana, PA.

Brenda is preceded in death by her parents, Mack and Margaret Egan of New Orleans, LA; sister, Barbara Egan LaGroue and brother-in-law Fredric J. LaGroue, Sr. of Chalmette, LA; and brother-in-law, Kenneth Sapp, of Indiana, PA.

Having attended Sacred Heart school in Mid-City, Brenda was proud of her Catholic education and good times from Kindergarten through High School. For most of her life, she had been a parishioner of St. Benilde Parish where she had a strong passion for her Catholic faith.

Besides her family, Brenda was fortunate to have additional help from Egan Caregivers and the family wants to especially give thanks to Lourdes Brizuela, along with Caroline Emukah and most recently Notre Dame Hospice.

Due to the COVID-19 virus restrictions, a private Funeral Mass will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home on Friday, August 28, 2020 followed by interment in All Saints Mausoleum in Metairie Cemetery.
