Theresa Gex

December 19, 1924 — January 12, 2025

Theresa Gex, a loving and faithful woman, passed away on January 12, 2025, at the age of 100. She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, William A. Gex, and is survived by her daughters, Mary Anne Garner, Linda Fredericks, and Janet Wootten; her sister, Estelle Coleman; four grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

A devoted Catholic, Theresa’s faith guided her life. She honored St. Joseph’s feast day each year by building beautiful altars and quietly helping families in need, whether by cooking meals or offering a helping hand. Known for her kindness, humor, and love of poker, Theresa brought joy to everyone around her.

Her life of faith, love, and service will live on in the hearts of her family and all who knew her.

The family would like to invite all who knew and loved Theresa to join them as we commemorate her life. A visitation will be held in the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady chapel, 4200 Essen Ln. Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809, from 11 am, until Mass of Christian Burial at 12 pm. Graveside services are to follow at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, 3421 Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119.
