Jo Ann “Jody” Landry passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on Friday, April 25, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Jody was born in New Roads, Louisiana, and moved to Baton Rouge at a young age. She attended St. Gerard Majella Catholic School and graduated from Redemptorist High School in 1958.

She was employed at Exxon Federal Credit Union for over 20 years, where she began as a teller and retired as the Chief Executive Officer.

Her devotion to her faith was also reflected in her outreach to the community as the Co-director of the Associates with the School Sisters of Notre Dame, where she dedicated herself to spreading the “good news” of Jesus Christ. She embodied the Corporal Works of Mercy in every aspect of her life.

In 2011, Jody was inducted into the Redemptorist High School Hall of Fame, which represented her professional accomplishments and well as her dedication to Christian service to the Catholic Church, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, and her community.
