In Loving Memory of Dorothy Jean Wahl

Sept 25 1934-Feb 22 2022

Dorothy Jean Wahl, 87, passed peacefully from this life into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 22, 2022. Jean was born on September 25, 1934 and was from Greenwood, Mississippi. She lived in Lutcher, LA with her family for 55 years.

Jean was an RN (Charity Hospital School of Nursing) and a pediatric nurse practitioner (Tulane University, NO). She worked as head nurse of the St. James Parish Health Units in Lutcher and Vacherie until her retirement. Jean was the Volunteer Parish Coordinator for St. James Parish, working out of her home with the Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge, helping many cancer patients in the community. For her service, she received the David Reynaud Community Service Award. She was a founding member and leader in her church. Jean was a "Mom' to many friends, neighbors and her church family. She and her late husband, Hal, had the gift of hospitality and all who came through their door were well-fed and made to feel like family.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Harold George Wahl, Sr. and is survived by her 4 children: Harold George "Sonny" Wahl Jr, Elizabeth Ann "Liz" Wahl, Gary Stephen Wahl, John Philip Wahl (Mary), and 13 grandchildren: Daniel Wahl (Laurie), Jennifer Beard (Jason), Natalie Edgar (Richard), Gary Wahl, Jr. (Jessie), Benjamin Wahl, Joya Smith (Tim), Deborah Wahl, Justin Wahl, Sarah Wahl, Timothy Wahl, Rebecca Wahl, Jesse Wahl, Rachel Wahl, Tara Wahl, and 11 great grandchildren: Joshua Edgar, Marshall Edgar, Kaitlyn Edgar, Emma Edgar, Emily Wahl, Anna Wahl, Lillian Wahl, Zamar Smith, Gary Wahl III, Aurora Wahl, and Magnolia Jean Wahl. Another great-granddaughter is on the way (Jennifer and Jason).

We would like to thank Bridgeway Hospice of Baton Rouge for their excellent care and support given to our family. A special thank you to our friends who prayed for us, brought food, cleaned her home and sat with Mom to give us a break these past 4 months.
