Mark Anthony Kass

Mark Anthony Kass passed away unexpectedly on December 21, 2025, while working/traveling through the state of Texas, his second home. Born on December 15, 1966, in Marrero, Louisiana, Mark recently celebrated his 59th birthday with his family.

He is survived by his son Paris, his daughters London and Milan Kass, his grandchildren Julian and Jerran Davis, and Sofia and Emma Ramirez. He is also survived by his father, Calvin Kass, and sisters, Mary Jo Clement (Rusty) and Jean Kass, his nieces, many cousins, and good friends that he considered family. Mark was preceded in death by his son, Rome, and his loving mother, Mamie Kass.

Mark was self-employed in the trucking industry and worked many years in the oilfields of Texas. He had a deep passion for the work and a strong respect for the grit, determination, and hard work of the people in the industry. Along the way, he formed many close friendships with people he considered family. He was also a part-owner of his family’s construction business, Kass Bros., Inc.

Mark had a warm heart, generous spirit, and strong faith in Christ. He will be remembered for his larger than life personality, his sense of humor, and his ability to connect with people that cannot be explained. He was often the life of the party and never met a stranger. Mark had the gift of gab from an early age, and he never tired of having conversations about any topic. He would often call family members and friends multiple times a day just to say hello. His daily phone calls will be missed by many.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, beginning at 10:00 am until 1:30 pm at Mothe Funeral Home, 2100 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, Louisiana.

Kyle Joseph Evans

On December 18, 2025 Kyle Joseph Evans of Gretna, Louisiana entered eternal rest. Kyle was a graduate of the Jesuit Class of 2008, and was the co-owner of Green Harbors, a shallow water dredging company.

Kyle was everything to everyone. If you needed a friend, Kyle would be there. If you needed something fixed, Kyle could do it. If you just needed someone to sit with you and make you feel better, Kyle was that person. In Kyle’s life he showed us how to live for others with ultimate kindness.

Kyle loved baseball. He was able to see a game at 15 out of 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. His favorite stadium was Fenway. He and our Dad went to 10 All Star Games. Kyle loved the Home Run Derby. Most recently, Kyle was helping his niece Evangeline discover her love of softball by teaching her everything he knew and taking her to get all of the gear she needed. We know Kyle will forever be an angel by Dad’s side watching every World Series.

Kyle was an extremely talented guitar player who also loved to fix and build guitars. Kyle played in a few bands, most notably the first one he started with his cousins, Andrew and Peter Church, when they were kids called KAP 183 because of their love for Blink 182. He especially loved live music. At concerts Kyle always paid attention to the instruments. He could point out any instrument and tell you what it was, what it was made out of, why they used it on that song, who made it, and other famous artists who used the same instrument.

Kyle was so loved. He brought endless joy to everyone’s life. Kyle is survived by his parents, Rachel and Michael Evans Sr., his brother Michael Evans Jr., and his sisters Keri Evans Ansley and Lori Evans Alley (Dillon). He was a wonderful uncle to Abigail Evans, Delylah Paquet, Isabella Ruiz, Landry Ansley, Evangeline Ansley, and Zion and Ezra Church. Kyle also has so many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins who will surely miss him. He leaves behind his fiancé, Chelsea Curole, who he loved with all his heart.

Kyle is preceded in passing by his maternal Grandparents Tina and Ross Vasquez Sr., his paternal Grandparents Lonie and Frank Evans Sr., his aunt Diane Evans, his Uncle Dean Church, and his beloved dog Layla. We are comforted knowing that he and Layla are now in heaven, surrounded by family who loved him dearly, in God’s eternal peace.

Kyle, we will think of you when we hear the songs we shared, and had a love for, and sang together while you played guitar. We will miss every moment of a life in which we all should have been able to grow old together. There are no words to express how broken our hearts are and how great our love will continue to be for you. We encourage you all to join us in living like Kyle by being as kind and as selfless as he was, always.

In lieu of flowers our family asks that a donation be made in Kyle’s name to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, 411 N. Rampart St, New Orleans, La, 70112.

Family and friends are invited to attend the Visitation at MOTHE FUNERAL HOME, 2100 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, Louisiana on Monday, December 29, 2025 from 10AM until 1:30PM.

Elizabeth Ditta Roos

Elizabeth Ditta Roos (“Dugie”) passed away peacefully on December 18, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and unwavering devotion to her family. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, and friend whose presence and unmistakable spirit will be deeply missed.

Dugie was strong-willed, determined, and never afraid to speak her mind. She viewed the world through her own lens and lived with conviction, humor, and heart. Those who knew her best understood that her stubbornness and fire were simply reflections of how deeply she cared. She had a habit of doing things her own way, whether that meant standing her ground in an argument or taking her late-night strolls through the neighborhood, confidently making the rounds as if she owned the streets. It was classic Dugie: independent, fearless, and unapologetically herself.

Above all else, Dugie was a devoted mother. She shared an unbreakable bond with her daughter, Mandy Roos Poché, and her son, Christian Roos. Even when opinions differed or words were hard to find, her love for her children remained constant.

Dugie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Daniel Roos; her brothers, Tony Ditta and Mike Ditta (Laura); and her parents, Sam and Rosalie Gulizo Ditta.

She is survived by her children, Mandy Roos Poché (Dustin) and Christian Roos; her grandchildren: Mia and Madison; her siblings: Roseann Allemand (Kim), Alicia Chambers (Gordon), Sam Ditta (Sybil), and David Ditta (Samantha); and many cousins, extended family members, and friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend funeral services on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at Mothe Funeral Home, located at 2100 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, Louisiana. Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a Mass at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in honor of Elizabeth to Louisiana SPCA or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Daughter of the late John Camp, Jr. and Vivian Thibodeaux Camp. Sister of Jane Doseff (Chris), and the late John Camp, III. Also survived by nieces and nephews. Age 80 years, a native of New Orleans, and resident of Paradis, LA.

Barbara was a faithful member at Christ our Savior Lutheran Church.

Barbara’s biggest joy was being a homemaker and taking care of her husband and children. She felt like raising her children was the most important job in the world.

From 1982-1986, Barbara was a proud member of the Morgan City High School Band Boosters in Morgan City, LA. When help was needed, she was there with a smile on her face.

The Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day parades brought Barbara a lot of joy. She valued all of the throws she caught from the simplest of beads all the way to the coveted Nyx purses, Muses shoes and Zulu coconuts. She loved it all. She was instrumental in helping to get the Mardi Gras stands for the handicap.

Barbara was an avid sports fan. As a child, she loved playing basketball and volleyball at Our Lady Star of the Sea. She loved watching figure skating, gymnastics, WWE wrestling, football, basketball and baseball. She loved the University of Alabama, Tulane University, the New Orleans Saints, the New England Patriots, and the Philadelphia Eagles. She also loved the Atlanta Braves, the Chicago Bulls, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Barbara’s physical challenges did not stand in the way of her enjoying life. She loved to travel, especially on cruises to the Caribbean. No matter the time, if there was a party going on, she would be there. She also loved visiting country music meccas like Tennessee.

Barbara loved entertainment including watching her soap operas, game shows, movies and attending a variety of music concerts.

Although Barbara’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May her memory be a blessing and may we carry forth her legacy of love and compassion in all that we do. As Barbara continues to worship Jesus in Heaven, her light will forever shine brightly in our hearts.

Our deepest thanks go out to the amazing teams at Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner (ICU) and Compassus for showing true compassion and providing exceptional care to Barbara during her final journey. Your unwavering support, kindness, and dedication brought peace and comfort to our entire family during this difficult time. We are forever grateful.
