Mary Louise Bradstreet Milton, age 73, entered into her Heavenly home on July 11, 2026, peacefully at her residence, surrounded by the love and presence of her family.

Mary was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and compassionate caregiver whose life was dedicated to serving others. Her calling to care for people began many years ago as a professional caregiver at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, where she provided comfort, support, and compassion to those in need. She later continued her passion for caring for others by becoming a nurse, dedicating her final 34 years of service to the nursing profession. Through her work, she touched countless lives with her kindness, strength, patience, and unwavering commitment to helping others.

Beyond her dedication to caring for others, Mary also knew how to enjoy life and create lasting memories. She loved spending time at Lucky Star Casino, where she became a familiar and cherished presence. The employees there knew her, appreciated her warm spirit, and loved seeing her smiling face. Her kindness, laughter, and friendly personality left an impression on everyone she encountered.
