We mourn the loss of Joan “Joanie” Barcelona Berthelot, who peacefully passed away at the age of 83. She was the caring mother to Ginger Berthelot Euvino (Kevin) and the late Gary Kenneth Berthelot (Tricia). Proud grandmother of Adam Berthelot (Hali), Amanda B. Doss (John), Jennie Watts (Jason) and Jessie Trago (Matt); great grandmother to Ella Berthelot, Jack Doss, Ava Berthelot, Benjamin Berthelot, Jason Watts Jr. (Nicole), William Trago and Aubrie Watts; great-great grandmother of Jason Watts III; aunt too many nieces and nephews. Joan is preceded in death by her parents, John Barcelona Sr. and Albertine Barcelona; her siblings, Kathleen B. Williams and John Barcelona Jr.
Born in New Orleans, Joan, touched the lives of many with her warm spirit and generous heart. Her love for the outdoors was evident in her passion for fishing, boating, and crabbing, activities that brought her contentment. She had a zest for life and enjoyed dancing, exploring new destinations, socializing with friends, and trying her luck at the casino. Yet, her greatest happiness came from spending time with her family whose laughter filled her heart with boundless joy. Her legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who were touched by her presence.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation to be held at ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 701 W. Virtue St., Chalmette, LA on Friday, March 8, 2024 from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. A funeral will begin at 1:00 PM. Burial will follow in ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL GARDENS.
