Charlotte Cassidy Montgomery passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 2, 2020. She was born in New Orleans, LA on September 29, 1923 where she resided her entire life. Beloved wife of 55 years of the late Joseph Thomson Montgomery. Mother of Judith Montgomery Arnemann, Joseph Lawrence Montgomery, and the late Stephen Harris Montgomery (Tricia). Known affectionately to all as Mommie, she is also survived by her grandchildren, Leigh A. Peplinski (Brett), Charlotte A. Benton (Bush), Michael B. Arnemann (Natalie), Parker J. Montgomery (Amanda), Jordan C. Montgomery (Julie), Alexa M. Krnjaic (Mark), Hans Montgomery (Kim), Cassidy M. Hadden (Brady), and Forrest J. Montgomery.

Daughter of the late Lawrence J. Cassidy and Ethel C. Cassidy. Preceded in death by her brother Mahlon L. Cassidy and her cousin Helen Cassidy McGrail. Charlotte grew up in the Broadmoor area where she attended St. Rita Catholic School and then St. Mary’s Dominican High School where she was the valedictorian of the class of 1940. She attended business school and worked at New Orleans Public Service until her marriage when she began to travel with her husband, Joe for his World War II naval duties. Mommie’s million-dollar laugh was infectious and everyone felt lucky to spend time with her. She made everyone feel special and her loving spirit always shined through. She spent many hours cheering on her beloved New York Yankees, LSU Tigers, and New Orleans Saints. She was an avid sports fan who also enjoyed watching golf. She knew how to make a delicious Old-Fashioned and enjoyed drinking one as well. Please join us in celebrating this one-of-a-kind lady who had an unparalleled sense of humor by raising a glass, whether an Old-Fashioned or drink of your choice on Wednesday, April 8th at 6:00 PM. Cheers to Mommie, the one and only! Special thanks to the 6th floor staff at Ochsner Medical Center-Main Campus, Family Home Care, Ochsner Home Health, Ochsner Care at Home, and especially Dr. Gloria Leary for the superior care they all provided. A funeral mass and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
