Mary Suzanne St. Mard Jung passed at the age of 91 on May 7, 2025. She was born on June 1, 1933 in New Orleans, Louisiana to her parents John Bernard St. Mard and Mary Elsie Raine. She graduated from Ursuline Academy in 1951 and then went on to graduate from secretary school to work as a secretary until moving to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While living in Baton Rouge, she continued work as a secretary and eventually retired from the Louisiana State Police after many years of service. She was an active member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church for over 60 years, as well as a member of the STM Senior Ministry and loved working at the general store. Suzanne was also a member of the Louisiana Organization of Porcelain Arts Club since retiring and was a current member when she passed. She was an avid China painter for over 30 years and loved to spend her time baking (especially cakes: rum cake, mandarin orange cake, and blueberry pound cake), watching her abundance of recorded TV shows (250+ at least), and visiting with neighbors on her front porch. It would be hard to not think of Suzanne with the image of yellow sticky notes being used for everything, a well-loved green Mardi Gras raincoat, being curled up on the sofa painting for hours, an abundance of Hershey kisses, an old fashion, or the smell of strong coffee with chicory. Most of all, she was beyond dedicated to her family and friends, which showed in how she gave her love wholly to all those that she met. She will be deeply and truly missed by the many people that had the privilege to know and love her.
She is survived by children Lesley J. Hagen, Louis E. Jung III “Trey”, Suzanne J. Erwin, Stephen S. Jung, Mary J. Grace (Donald Grace), David P. Jung (Sheryl Jung), and Bonnie J. Bourgeois (Trey Bourgeois), grandchildren Christopher Kauk, Michael Kauk, Danielle Bilberry, Kendall Jung, Abby Jung, Isabella Jung, Helene Jung, Garner Jung, Trent Hilse, Claire Patterson, Catherine Bourgeois, and Natalie Bourgeois, sister Mary Lisette St. Mard (Angie Vuillet), and 7 great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her spouse of 32 years Louis Emanuel Jung Jr., father John Bernard St. Mard, mother Mary Elsie Raine, and sisters Mary Carole St. Mard Fowler and Mary Janice St. Mard Neth.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to St. Thomas More Catholic Church.
Visitation will be held at St. Thomas More Catholic Church on Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 10:00am to 11:00am with a service starting at 11:00am.

What a beautiful obituary for a beautiful woman. I’d only met her twice, but was enchanted by her personality and vivacious spirit. Wishing her spirit joyous rest in God’s heavenly embrace along with family and friends that preceded her.
