Julie Moore Panebiango

Some people have a special gift for making the world a little brighter, a little kinder, and a little more beautiful. Julie Moore Panebiango was one of those people. Julie had an unmistakable sense of style, a generous heart, and a gentle, peaceful presence that made people feel welcome and loved. She found joy in life's everyday moments and had a wonderful way of making others feel special. She noticed the good in people, celebrated their gifts, and genuinely delighted in their happiness and accomplishments. To know Julie was to experience a kindness that came straight from the heart.

Julie and her beloved husband, Carl Panebiango, met on Valentine’s Day in 1999 and shared an extraordinary love. Their devotion to one another was beautiful to witness, and their marriage was rooted in a deep faith in God. Their church, White Dove Fellowship in Harvey, was an important part of their lives, and they lovingly supported its ministry and community.

Julie was a loving, devoted, and proud mother to her two wonderful daughters, Megan Lorinn Hebert and Morgan Elizabeth Hebert. Her family brought her tremendous happiness, and the love she shared with those closest to her was among the greatest blessings of her life.

A graduate of Immaculata High School in 1978, Julie developed a lifelong passion for health, fitness, and nutrition. She loved learning about the human body and sharing that knowledge with others, always encouraging people to live healthier, happier lives. Helping others to become their best selves was simply part of who she was.

Julie is survived by her beloved husband, Carl Panebiango; her daughters, Megan Hebert and Morgan Hebert; her mother, Mary S. Bosch; and her brothers, Keith R. Moore (Mary), Michael A. Bosch (Tracy), and Eric E. Bosch (Catalina). She also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends, and her much loved fur babies, Ollie and Chi.

She was preceded in death by her father, Eugene E. Bosch, and her brothers, John E. Bosch and Glenn P. Moore.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Marcia Lightell and Dr. Terri Ditta, whose extraordinary kindness, care, and devotion were blessings in Julie's life.

Julie will be deeply missed. We will miss her calm and peaceful spirit, her bubbly personality, her fashionable style, and the countless ways she made people feel loved. But alongside our sadness is tremendous gratitude for the joy she brought into this world and the love she shared so freely. Knowing Julie, we cannot help but smile at the thought that heaven has welcomed a beautiful soul with open arms, and perhaps a new fitness and nutrition coach as well. We know that before the day is done and no matter what the day had brought, Julie would still say it’s THE BEST DAY EVER!

Relatives and Friends of the Family are invited to attend the Visitation at White Dove Fellowship Church, Harvey, LA on Monday, October 19, 2026 from 10 AM until Service time at 12 PM. Interment Westlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Gretna, LA. Mothe Funeral Homes entrusted with arrangements.

Mannie was a man of simple pleasures who found joy in the world around him. He had a deep passion for fishing, always finding peace and happiness out on the water. He also loved immersing himself in the rhythm of music, the storytelling of movies and ghost stories. More than any hobby, however, his family was his entire world.

He was the beloved son of Mary Ann Rome and Floyd Rome. A devoted brother, Mannie grew up alongside his siblings, Tabitha Juneau, Crystel Boudreaux, and Floyd Rome Jr., sharing a lifetime of cherished memories and unbreakable family bonds.

As a proud and loving father, Mannie’s legacy lives on through his daughter, Brittany Barrett, and his stepchildren, Brandy Barrett and Alvin Mathern. His heart grew even larger as a grandfather, and he leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love for his grandchildren: Ava, Emily, Alia, Aiden, Landen, Magan, Ragan, Jamie, Ashlyn, and Skylar.

Mannie’s circle of love extended to his godchildren, Wayne Jr., Shannon, and Kaleb. He was a fun, supportive uncle to his nieces and nephews, including Michael, Jeremy, and Tristan, as well as many cherished great-nieces and great-nephews.

Mannie’s kind spirit, gentle guidance, and unconditional love will be deeply missed but forever remembered by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

William "W.B." Shano III

William Baron Shano Ill (lovingly known as W.B.) age 66, born on October 3, 1960 gained his wings and departed this life on October 6, 2026, after a long, hard battle with Cancer.

W.B was the oldest of 9 siblings. He was preceded in death by his father, the late William Baron Shano, Jr, Sisters Rhonda Shano Bourgeois, Dawn Shano Fletcher and brother Joseph Shano. He is survived by his mother Sandra and stepfather Terry Marchio, his son William “Baron” Shano IV, along with sons, Jimmy, Leslie and Dana Jackson from mother Peggy Shano. Also survived by siblings Eugenia (Jeannie), Jody Paul, Mark, Tammie and Tommie Shano. Son William “Baron” Shano IV and Sarah O. Shano Blessed W.B. with 5 beautiful grandchildren, Kayoni, Nya, Zia, Baron Demetrie and Nayomi (mimi) Shano.

W.B worked 20+ years at Cottman Transmission and was respected and cared for by the owners (the West Family). After retiring from Cottman, W.B. continued doing transmission work for many friends and acquaintances in and around his beloved city of Gretna. W.B. always enjoyed riding motorcycles, was an avid fisher and hunter. The water and nature gave him peace and calmness from this busy world. As did Harley “Charlie” Shano. He loved that little doggie. He enjoyed and had a passion for working on anything that needed to be fixed. He is without a doubt the best at what he did. Most importantly he loved just hanging out with friends and family and blessing everyone with a little story and some of that good ole W.B. wisdom.

W.B. was tough as nails and strong as a brick wall but also kind and caring and would help anyone that needed his assistance. W. B. could fix almost anything and I mean anything…. except for this. He really loved life, and he fought so very hard up until his very last breath, but this could not be fixed and cancer took him from his family and friends’ way too soon. He will be missed but W.B. will be in our hearts forever. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Service at Mothe Funeral Home, 2100 Westbank Expwy., Harvey, LA on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 3pm. Visitaion will be held from 1pm until 3pm. Family and friends can view and sign the online guest book at www.mothefunerals.com.
