Juliet Charlton Higgins

Juliet Charlton Higgins was called home by her Heavenly Father on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at the magnificent age of 100 years. Born on July 14, 1923 to the late Edward Wellington Charlton and Juliet Maurin Charlton, Juliet was preceded in death by her siblings...Elizabeth LaGarde, Edward W. Charlton Jr., Mary Eugenia Charlton, Marshal Charlton, Quentin Charlton, and Albert Charlton. She was the beloved wife of the late Francis John (Jack) Higgins. She leaves four children who will miss her dearly…Mary H. Glas (John, deceased), Anne H. Crow, Katherine H. Fontana (Wayne) and John Charlton Higgins (Leslie). Juliet loved her role as “MawMaw“ to her beloved grandchildren…John Jerry Glas (Claire), Charlotte A. Glas, Nanette G. Dennis (Shawn), Kevin Crow, Erin Crow, Z. Crow, the late Christopher Fontana, Allison Segura (John), Jennifer Lewis (Ray), Carol Anne Fontana, Ryan Charlton Higgins (Jeanne), Megan H. D’Aquilla (Nick).

Jack and Juliet grew up in the Carrollton area and remained in New Orleans until Katrina relocated them to Metairie. Her life revolved around her family... Sunday gatherings, trips to the beach, cherished memories held dear by generations. She kept Jesus in each and every Christmas for her family and rocked all the babies to sleep with her signature song…”Oodle Loodle Loo”…and she admonished us all to…”Love One Another.” With smiles through tears we say…Too Da Loo!

A private service is planned.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Michael’s Special School or the World War II Museum.
