SEPTEMBER 29, 1919 – OCTOBER 29, 2018

Sara Louise McLellan Jumonville passed away Monday, October 29, after a wonderful 99 years of life. She has been the longtime matriarch of an adoring family who lived her whole life in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans. She moved to Lambeth house in 1998 and for the past several years, she resided at St. Anna’s at Lambeth House where she had a wide circle of friends and caregivers.

Sara Louise was an avid bridge player, golfer, hostess, and supporter of many charities. She was particularly dedicated to the Lighthouse for the Blind where she volunteered for many years transcribing news and books into Braille. She also loved spending time with all her family at their summer home, Haphazard, in Slidell.

Sara Louise was a graduate of the Louise S. Maghee School and Holton-Arms College (Washington, DC). During her debut she was in the courts of several carnival organizations and was queen of Twelfth Night Revelers. She was a member of the Junior League of New Orleans, Orleans Club, Le Petit Salon, Colonial Dames and served on the boards of the Herman-Grimma House and New Orleans Country Club.
