In every geographical area of the world, there are disasters created by humans and nature. While each organization plans for evacuating buildings, protecting people and property, the same care, and attention to planning should be placed on the records of the organization. If information is an important asset, the planning for the protection of this asset prior to a disaster is paramount.

Julia S. Vercher
MARCH 6, 1939 – NOVEMBER 18, 2022
Julia Ann Vercher passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family. Julia was born in Campti, Louisiana March 6, 1939. She graduated in 1957 from Montgomery High School. She met Bernell Vercher at Montgomery High School and they were married in 1957.
She is preceded in death by her father, the late Albert Jackson Smith, and her mother, Mary Julia Smith, and her siblings, Jackson “Jackie” Henry Smith, Charles Richard Smith, and, Marjorie Virginia Looney. She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years F. Bernell Vercher, her children, William Vercher, and, Rebecca Beadle (Danny), sister, Linda Sue Fredieu (Robert), granddaughters, Kathryn Vercher, Heather Bourg (Joey), Kimberly McDonald, and great-granddaughter, Alexis Frost. She adored her many nieces and nephews and had a special relationship with one of her great-nieces, Laila Fredieu. She also had a special relationship with Jody Ethridge who was like a daughter to her.
Julia managed the Records Department at Stone Pigman Law Firm and was a part of the firm for 35 years. Julia was instrumental in moving the firm from its 3 x 5 index card system to its first records software program. Julia loved her years at the firm and had a blast with her friends and co-workers. She retired in July 2020.
She loved life and was quick-witted, clever, loving, and quite the prankster. In addition to caring for her family, Julia took care of many others during her life with her time, resources, and prayers.
Julia will be missed for her encouraging words as a mentor, fellow employee and long-time GNO-ARMA member.
