A memorial service for Cherie La Pelusa, vocal resident and wife of Third Ward City Councilman Gary La Pelusa, was recently held at St. Vincent de Paul Church. The service was a solemn ode to the late Cherie, who passed away from COVID-19 in April of 2020.
Cherie is survived by her husband Gary, her daughters Jennifer and Gianna, and sons David and Gary La Pelusa, Jr.
Due to the pandemic, there was not a proper memorial service. On May 8, residents and city officials gathered at the uptown church to honor her life.
“We are not here to remember the pain but to cherish the life of Cherie,” said Rev. Sergio Nadres. “One of the legacies of Cherie is her service to others. Cherie was always there helping out. She was a community leader.”
