Connie Marie Peters - January 18, 1928 - July 07, 2020

Departed: 07/07/2020 (Shreveport)

Obituary Preview: Connie Peters, 92, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on July 7, 2020 at Christus Highland Hospital. A Mass of Christian celebration honoring Connie’s life will be conducted Friday, July 10th at 11:00 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Shreveport, Louisiana. A rosary will be held at the church from 10:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., with a visitation to follow until the time of service. The Interment will follow service at Rose-Neath Cemetery in Bossier City, LA. Celebrating the Mass will be Pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Father Rothell Price. Concelebrating will be Monsignor Earl Provenza and Father Charles Glorioso.

Connie was born to Sam and Sadie Peters on January 18, 1928 in Shreveport, LA. As a child, she attended St. Mary’s Catholic School. She enjoyed working in her parent’s grocery store, where she would help her Papa make his special Italian sausage. She graduated Bossier High School in 1945, where she played the clarinet in the Bossier Band. She then went on to attended business school in Shreveport, LA.

Carrying on the legacy of her Sicilian family, she went on to own and operate many community grocery stores and used her stores as an outlet to bless so many families in her community. Her greatest accomplishment came next with the birth of her daughter, Patricia Ann. Her life was centered around family and cooking Italian food. Everyone in her family has a memory of her cooking, it was her love language and she both cooked and loved so well. Her next phase brought many opportunities to spoil her grandchildren, Tim, Connie and Candace. There was not anything she wouldn’t do or get for them.

Some of her favorite things were video poker, dancing, dice, horse races, cooking, Viceroy cigarettes, coffee at the Kettle with friends, trips to Las Vegas, her Cadillac cars, bowling and her love for fashion that was always reflected in her fashionable dress.

She dearly loved her eight great grandchildren. She would light up whenever they were around, her love for them was a testament to God’s love and was truly a blessing for anyone to witness. She lived a long and happy life and overcame many adversities, the most recent being a COVID-19 survivor. She was a firecracker and an inspiration all wrapped up in one small, lovely, well-dressed package.

Connie was proceeded in death by her parents, Sam and Sadie Peters; sister, Rose and husband, Vince Capuano; brother, Sam Peters, Jr.; nephew, Michael Capuano and niece, Melissa Maggio.

She is survived by daughter, Patricia Mitchell; sister-in-law, Josephine Peters; nephew, Thomas Peters; niece, Sharon and husband, Vince Maggio; grandchildren, Tim Mitchell, Connie and husband, Dr. Aaron Gumm, Candace and husband, Joey Brickner; great grandchildren Savannah Brickner, Catherine Brickner, Sophia Gomez, Zaine Mitchell, Ava Gomez, Charlotte Mitchell, Elizabeth Brickner, Amelia Brickner; many loved nieces and nephews; and dogs, London and Molly.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the doctors and nurses at Christus Highland Hospital and the countless others who provided care for Connie over the last few years and in the passing moments of her life.

As his sidekick, she saw the value of staying out of trouble and soon showed all her generous and caring nature. When their sister arrived, Baily was thrilled to have her own live doll. Until she began following Baily everywhere and demanding ownership of every toy she owed.

When a new brother arrived with a heart condition, her abilities with children were revealed. Patience and understanding of another’s needs became a talent.

Being from a musically inclined family, Baily had a deep love for all music. She joined her school choir and enjoyed singing with her friends so much, that as an adult ‘Karaoke night became a tradition. She graduated from Minden High School with a great squad of friends. They went on so many adventures together. As adults, her tribe enjoyed some of the best memories of her life.

Baily was the first to dance in the rain, quickest to arrive if needed, happy to remind you of your manners, and content howling at the moon. She never paused handing over her last dollar, was the best cuddler during a scary movie, and always strived to never disappoint anyone. She just wanted acceptance and love.

Baily was preceded in death by: sister, Sara Elizabeth Riley, her father, Ramon (Ray) J. Riley, uncle, Sgt. Joshua B. Madden, grandparents Tom and Sinda Riley, great grandparents Simon and Dot Madden, and Dr. Thomas and Wilfred Richardson.

Dr. William Chandler Teague - July 08, 1922 - June 27, 2020

Departed: 06/27/2020 (Shreveport)

Obituary Preview: William Chandler Teague, 97, died Saturday, June 27, 2020. Dr. Teague is survived by a son, Chandler Teague and wife, Janis Adams Teague of Shreveport, Louisiana; a daughter, Lynda Gayle Teague Deacon of Memphis, Tennessee; three grandchildren, Sandra Deacon, Clay Deacon and Hunter Deacon; four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of 77 years, Lucille Ridinger Teague; his brothers, Abner Franklin Teague and Carl Edward Teague and his parents, John Abner Teague and Martha Chandler Teague. Dr. Teague was born on July 8, 1922 in Gainesville, Texas, where he began musical training at age three with his mother. At age 12 he became the church organist for a large methodist church. As a young teenager he studied organ in Dallas and entered SMU at age 16. His studies were interrupted when Dr. Alexander McCurdy sent for him to come study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. His studies at Curtis were interrupted by World War II. He joined the Army Air Force as a Chaplain’s Assistant. He returned to Curtis after the war to study and serve as McCurdy’s assistant, playing for the weekly Sunday oratorio performances. Accompanying Teague to Philadelphia was his young bride, Lucille, whom he had married during the war. They had met at a methodist camp when they were 12 years old and became great friends and later sweethearts.

After graduation from Curtis in 1948, Teague came to Shreveport, Louisiana, to accept the position of organist/choirmaster at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church (now the location of The Church of the Holy Cross) and a teaching position at Centenary College of Louisiana in the organ and sacred music departments. He taught for 44 years earning the rank of full professor during his tenure. He was later designated Professor of Music Emeritus at the college. Centenary College granted him an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts. He served as accompanist as he and Lucille traveled with the Centenary College Choir to various countries including China for one of the very first cultural missions allowed in that country. He served St. Mark’s Cathedral for 39 years before being designated Organist Emeritus. During these decades, he maintained an active concert career, performing in such venues as Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Westminster Abbey, Trinity Church Wall Street, the Riverside Church in New York, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and the armed forces academies. He was invited to play behind the Iron Curtain with concerts in East Berlin, Poland and other countries. He and Lucille were in East Berlin at the Wall when the first blows were struck to tear it down. During those many tours, Lucille turned thousands of pages of music and pulled countless stops. These tours took them to Japan, Australia, all over the United States and Europe and to North Africa. In addition to the solo organ concerts, Bill joined his son, Chan, in presenting music for organ and percussion in concerts across the United States.

Following his retirement from St. Mark’s, Teague was Interim Organist for churches throughout the region, making many new and lasting friends.

Dr. Teague’s teachers include Professor Dora Poteet Barclay, Dr. Alexander McCurdy, Mme. Marie Claire Alain, Harold Gleason and Catharine Crozier.

One of the legends about Bill Teague is that anywhere they went, he and Lucille were likely to run into a friend who would walk around the corner and shout, “Good heavens, there’s Uncle Billy,” as he was known in the organ world, a nickname given to him by Roy Perry of Kilgore, Texas, a giant in the organ world.

Dr. Teague was active in the American Guild of Organists, Association of Anglican Musicians, The Sewanee Music Conference and the Evergreen Summer Conference. He was a Fellow in Church Music at the Washington National Cathedral. For ten summers Teague was the summer organist at St. Ann’s by the Sea Episcopal Church in Kennebunkport, Maine. He was a founding member of The Baroque Artists of Shreveport, founded The Great Masterpiece Series at St. Mark’s Cathedral, recorded a weekly organ concert for radio broadcast for eight years, trained thousands of choristers to love and respect the beautiful liturgy and tradition of Anglican music and played for hundreds of weddings, funerals and festivals. During his long career Teague recorded much of the great organ literature including Dupré’s “Stations of the Cross”, Messiaen’s “Serene Alleluias” and Healey Willan’s “Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue”. In 1988, the City of Shreveport honored him with William C. Teague Day and the Teague Music Scholarship was established at Centenary College. The Teague-Smith Scholarship Fund for young choristers was later established at St. Mark’s Cathedral.

Teague is listed in numerous volumes of Who’s Who including the International Who’s Who and was recently honored by the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival.
