Simone Pillette Obituary: “With profound sadness, I share the news of the passing of Simone Pillette, a dedicated public servant and beloved member of our team,” Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome announced via a social media post.
“As our Office Manager, Simone was the heartbeat of our office. She was a devoted leader, handling many of our citizens’ requests and playing an integral role in the Mayor’s Advisory Council on Veterans Affairs. Beyond her professional contributions, Simone was a beautiful and caring person who lit up the room with her presence and brought positive energy to everyone around her. Her love for God was evident in everything she did, guiding her interactions with grace and compassion.”
“As we mourn this tremendous loss, we remember her as a colleague and dear friend who made every day brighter. Let us honor her memory by continuing the work she was so passionate about and supporting one another as we navigate this loss together. Simone will be deeply missed, but her legacy will remain with us as we move forward.”
To say that Simone is simply gorgeous on the inside and out is not to do justice to the depth of her being. Those who had the privilege of knowing her characterized her as an angelic presence—a devoted and compassionate person. Her work as Mayor-President was characterized by an unshakable dedication to serve the people of Baton Rouge, which was only surpassed by her own generosity and compassion.
