Loving mother of Judith “Judy” Desimone and the late JoAnn Desimone Rodrigue (Daniel Rodrigue). Daughter of the late Rosie Digirolamo Abate and Peter Abate. Sister of the late Nora Abate Lemoine, Vincent, Nick Philip, Joseph, Sam and Peter Abate (Karen Abate). Also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and by many who called her NaNan. She enjoyed good times with family and going to the Casino. She loved watching the Saints and LSU sports on TV. Her warm heart, soft hugs and loving spirit will be greatly missed by all of those who were blessed to know her. She loved everyone, and when someone was leaving the house her words were always “I love you, be careful and come back.” The family would also like to thank Gulf South Hospice, Counsel for the Aging Medical team in St. Charles Parish, Faye, Ann and Peggy for their expertise, kindness and compassion.
