Marjorie Mauberret Deano, born in New Orleans on August 18, 1926, passed away on November 5, 2020, at the age of 94. She was the daughter of Claude Byrne Mauberret, Sr., and Elizabeth Morrill Mauberret and was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Lloyd R. Deano, and a brother. She is survived by her son, Robert (Ann Randon).
Marjorie was a devoted Catholic, a devotee of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, and a parishioner of St. Mary’s Assumption Church after Hurricane Katrina forced her relocation to uptown from her longtime Lakeshore home. She was an alumna of the Louise S. McGehee School, attended Newcomb College and the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and studied under Ida Kohlmeyer. An accomplished and award-winning artist, in her earlier period she was a prolific impressionist and abstract painter but later transitioned to pastels and loved to draw flowers from her garden and her beloved family cats.
