October 15, 1920 - November 28, 2015
Brother Warren Laudumiey died at St. Clare Manor Nursing Home in Baton Rouge, November 28, 2015. Ninety-five years old, he was the third of five children born to his parents, Fernand Laudumiey and Stella Anna Oehmichen. He used his baptismal name of Louis until he joined the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, making first vows at Metuchen, N.J., in 1937. Louis first met the Brothers as a student at St. Aloysius in New Orleans where he grew up on Rampart Street, speaking both French and English at home. Throughout his life, he frequently used the expression, "C'est la vie" to comment on life's ups and downs, all of which he took in stride. Brother Warren ministered in the Brothers' schools in six states as well as in Canada and Africa. He taught in Far Rockaway and Brooklyn, N.Y.; Metuchen, N.J.; Mobile and Daphne, AL; Houma and New Orleans, LA; Muskogee, OK; Bay St. Louis, MS; and Verdun, Canada. He also served five years as a missionary in Okaru in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Africa. For 12 years from 1976-1984, he held the position of provincial secretary for the New Orleans Province when its headquarters were in Bay St. Louis, MS. Brother Warren was preceded in death by his parents and his four siblings: two brothers Fernand Jr. and Paul Louis Laudumiey; and two sisters Marie Emma Laudumiey Grace and Claire Marie Laudumiey. He is survived by several nieces and nephews. Since Brother Warren donated his body to science, there will be no regular wake or funeral services. There will be a Memorial Mass in the Brothers' chapel in Baton Rouge Saturday, December 5, at 5:00 p.m. for Brothers and friends. A similar service will take place in New Orleans at a time to be announced later. When his body is returned, his remains will be interred in the Brothers' Cemetery in Bay St. Louis through arrangements with Edmond Fahey Funeral Home there. Memorial donations in honor of Br. Warren may be sent to the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Foundation, 4600 Elysian Fields Ave., New Orleans, LA 70122. Edmond Fahey Funeral Home, Bay St. Louis, MS
