She competed well; she finished the race; she kept the faith…now the crown of righteousness awaits her.

Vicki Jean Erwin, age 77, of New Orleans, LA, passed away ever so peacefully on Friday, February 20, 2026 at her home in Covington, LA. She was preceded in death by her parents William Graham and Margaret Mary Bell Erwin. Vicki is survived by her sister, Kay Erwin, many beloved cousins, friends, former students and Girl Scouts. She was a dedicated school teacher in St. Bernard Parish for 35 years. As an educator, her students were her first priority both in and outside of the classroom.

From a young age she lived a life of service helping victims of natural disasters, directing New Orleans Department of Recreation (NORD) day camps, leading Girl Scout troops and participating in various educational projects, events and organizations. She embraced her strong Catholic faith and was quick to support any related needs by serving as a Lector, on bereavement committees and contributing both time and resources to holiday projects.

When not working or volunteering, Vicki seized any opportunity to explore the wonderful world in which she lived. She traveled extensively on five continents with family and friends, was quick to organize or join beach weekends or camping trips and rarely missed an opportunity to attend local events.

Vicki was especially grateful for her family, friends, health care providers and those providing spiritual care through prayer and sacraments during the last seven months of her life as she courageously faced the effects of cancer and treatments. Dr. John Oubre, Dr. Patricia Braly, Dr. Florence Wright, Dr. Craig Seichsnaydre and their staffs treated her with unsurpassed expertise, professionalism and compassion. Passages Hospice was invaluable in providing care and comfort during her last weeks at home.

All are invited to attend a Funeral Mass at Saint Joseph Abbey in St. Benedict, LA on Saturday, March 28, 2026 at 2:00PM. Visitation will begin in the Abbey church at 1:00PM. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to The Children’s Advocacy Center - Hope House in Covington, LA or your preferred charity dedicated to ending the cycle of child abuse.

Molly Renae Perniciaro, 22, of Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, passed away on Monday, March 2, 2026.

Molly was known for her s***k, infectious laugh, and tender heart. She was determined to rise above any struggles she experienced in life and never allowed setbacks to break her spirit. She was outspoken and passionate, speaking with conviction and never afraid to speak up for what she believed in. Molly loved loudly and sincerely. Her love for her favorite people was unmistakable, and she had a gift for making those around her feel deeply valued and cherished.

Family meant everything to Molly and was an endless source of love and support throughout her life. She was a devoted daughter, a loving sister, a proud aunt, a loyal friend, and an encouraging wife. Molly was her mama’s girl, and her big brothers held a special place in her heart. She was also a dedicated granddaughter and loved her granny immensely. Molly will be remembered by family as the feisty little girl who enjoyed dancing, singing her favorite songs, and sitting around the table with family to catch all the hot gossip then “spilling the tea” later. Being an aunt brought Molly immense pride and joy. She adored her nephews and she treasured every moment she spent with them. Molly shared her life with her caring husband, stepson, and beloved fur-baby “Puda.” Molly’s friendships were a constant source of laughter, faithfulness, and unwavering support. The bond she shared with her closest friends was one that time and distance could never break.

The love Molly shared with family and friends will continue to live on in the countless memories she leaves behind. She will be remembered for her loyalty to those she loved, and the light she brought into the lives of everyone who knew her.

Molly is survived by her husband, Jason Cagle and bonus son Silas Cagle; mother, Laura Ladner Perniciaro of Bay St. Louis; father, Billy Perniciaro of Waveland; brothers, Brennan (Maddie) Perniciaro, Trevor Perniciaro of Pass Christian; granny, Sandra Summers Ladner; favorite aunt and uncles, Cheryl (Jeff) Eberlan and Steve Ladner; nephews, Raidyn Bennett, Enzo Benoit and Zayden Benoit; nieces, Nova Murray and Lanyah Tamborella; sister-in-law, Jessica (Devin) Delle; lifelong friends Alexis “Lex” Adams and Alicia “Ally” Johnson; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Molly was preceded in death by papa, Ronald Ladner of Kiln; pawpaw Ronnie and mawmaw Donna Perniciaro of Waveland; bonus dad, Michael Ladner of Bay St. Louis; great-grandparents, Ruth “Mae” and Robert Summers; and aunt Charlotte Ladner Eubanks

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Barbara Cameron announces that her beautiful soul passed from this world on January 11, 2026. She passed peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loved ones.

Barbara dedicated her entire life selflessly to her family, exemplifying love, strength, and sacrifice as a devoted mother and grandmother. She was deeply committed to serving her community in many ways, including catering for church events, weddings, benefits, and countless gatherings. It was never uncommon for her famous red velvet cake to play a meaningful role in raffles or benefits for someone in need.

Barbara was a caring and loving Christian with a heart as big as the world. Thoughtful and generous, she gave freely and joyfully whenever it was within her power. In recognition of her selfless service, deep faith, and dedication to living Christ’s light, she was honored with the Lumen Christi Award. Her kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith touched countless lives, and she was an inspiration to all who knew her.

She provided for her family through many avenues, including running a paper route for the Sun Herald for over 40 years, operating her own catering business, making wedding cakes, and working in veteran long-term care. To say Barbara was a hard worker would be an understatement.

Surrounded by family and friends, Barbara found joy in camping, cooking, baking, and celebrating holidays. From making popcorn balls for trick-or-treaters to dyeing Easter eggs after Sunday church, her traditions were rooted in love. She cherished camping at McLeod Park for Halloween with the kids, celebrating the Fourth of July with American flags and fireworks, and decorating for Christmas as a family. Barbara always wanted her yard to be big, bright, and beautiful—not just for herself and family, but for her community to enjoy.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence “C.J.” Cameron; her parents, Sidney. and Etheline Bennett; her brothers, Sidney Bennett. and Harlon Bennett; her sisters, Margaret (Roy) Cuevas and Josie Bennett; and her brother-in-law, Cleveland Wyatt.

She is survived by her son, Timothy (Donna) Cameron; her daughter, Belinda (Kenneth) Morgan; her grandchildren, Joshua (Katelin) Cameron, Jonathan (Amber) Cameron, Jordan Morgan, Joley Cameron; her great-grandchildren, Trenton, Jaycee, Jayston, and Jaylee; her sister, Doris Wyatt; and her brother, Gene (Lena) Bennett, sister in law, Opal Bennett. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Cameron Family and ask that you keep them in you thoughts in your prayers during these difficult times.
