Agnes Schexnaydre Obituary
Agnes Martine Schexnaydre, 91, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025. Born December 9, 1933, she was the sixth daughter of Charles A. and Lillian Landry Martine and was the devoted wife of the late Nolte Schexnaydre.
Family and friends are invited to a visitation on Friday March 28, 2025 at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Darrow, LA from 10:00 am until a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:00 PM. Internment immediately following at Ascension of Our Lord Mausoleum, Donaldsonville, LA.
Agnes is survived by her nieces; Dee Dee Nettles (Ronald), Mary Noel (Steven), Anne Bergeron (Barry) and nephews; Charles, Rod (Mara Lee Morgan), Peter, John (Betsy), David (Jada Kerek) Roques; as well as 19 great and 36 great great nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her brother-in-law James Coerver and sisters-in-law Ione Schexnaydre Leblanc, Carmen “Lady” Schexnaydre and Frankie Schexnaydre.
She is preceded in death by her five sisters, Marion Roques (Maurice), Rose Mary Coerver, Marie Teresa Martine, Frances Lucille Martine, Clementine Adele Martine, niece Christine Roques Matassa and great nephew Ned Roques.
Agnes was a devout member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church performing various roles of service in the parish. Education was her calling. A graduate of Redemptorist High School, Agnes earned her bachelor's degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and her master's degree from LSU. She dedicated 30 years to teaching in East Baton Rouge parish before embarking on a second career as librarian at St. Theresa of Avila Catholic School.
She was devoted to her family, eagerly entertaining or providing childcare for numerous great- and great-great-nieces and nephews, cooking Sunday lunch for the extended family each week for over 50 years, and savoring even the simplest moments with Nolte. Hers was a life well lived—an enduring example of faith, love, and family.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church or St. Theresa of Avila Catholic Church food bank or school.
