Barbara Ann Comoletti Cummings
1946 - 2020
Barbara Ann Comoletti Cummings, of Baton Rouge, peacefully passed away after a very brief battle with cancer at the age of 73 on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at the Butterfly Wing Unit of Hospice of Baton Rouge. Her final days were spent surrounded by her family, whom she loved dearly.
Barbara was born at the Naval Hospital in Pensacola, Florida in 1946. She graduated from Istrouma High School in 1964 and later went on to attend Spencer Business College. In 1965, she went to work for the Louisiana Department of Revenue and was voted Employee of the Year in 1984. She retired in 1995 after 30 years of service.
Family was the most important thing to Barbara. She was at her happiest when she was able to spend time with them. She was a very giving soul and made sure everyone else was taken care of before taking care of herself. She had the ability to find the good in everyone and never criticized or held herself above others. The Catholic faith was also very important to her. She was an active member of St. Thomas More Church for many years where she religiously attended mass every Sunday. She was also dedicated to exposing her children to the Catholic faith and made sure they continued their Catholic educations as well.
She is survived by Bill Cummings, her loving husband of 46 years, their son Paul, his wife Burgundy and their two children Jackson and Camille and their son Steven Cummings, his wife Kristi and their children Nathaniel and Caroline. She is also survived by her younger brother Billy Comoletti and his wife Charlotte, and younger brother Barry Comoletti and his wife Laney along with numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father Valentino "Dino" Comoletti, mother Ruby Carbo Comoletti, and sister, Jeanette Beatty.
Family and friends are invited to attend the visitation which will be held at Greenoaks Funeral Home on Friday, July 24, 2020 from 12 PM to 2 PM. Funeral services will start at 2 PM. Burial to follow in Greenoaks Memorial Park. Pallbearers: Jonas Beatty, John Beatty, Aaron Beatty, Jackson Cummings, Michael Ramagos, Steven Swan. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Butterfly Wing Unit of Hospice of Baton Rouge or the charity of your choice.

Send us your data for our database
We published a 50th Reunion Booklet that was given out to everyone at the July event and wanted to include as many listings as possible. If you weren't listed or want to change data - addresses, phone numbers, family info, and what you've been doing, please contact us. Many of you have been contacted recently via phone or email by the Reunion Committee and we have up to date reports. However, there area a lot of folks with old data on file, so if you haven't already done so, please send us your data using our convenient new online form or the traditional printed "snail mail" version. We would hope that most folks will use the online form since it reduces the amount of typing the committee volunteers have to do!
See the section above for several ways to send us your data.

Missing Indians
We've maintained and updated the old classmates list from our 50th reunion and will use it and recent information to keep our database current. A list of "Missing Indians" has been posted and will be updated each week as we find people and move them to the "found" list. Please help us find the missing classmates and faculty members.
Send photos and news
In case you haven't visited our Gallery Pages, there are many photos there that classmates have scanned and emailed to us for everyone to see. Send us your photos along with captions. Scan at 300 dpi or less to keep the size down. Send to ihs1964@yahoo.com .
Everyone likes to read news about their friends from school, especially if they are out of touch or far away. So, send us news to include on our website. Just email to ihs1964@yahoo.com . |
