HONORING THE LIFE OF BARBARA ANSELMO CHIFICI
______
HON. STEVE SCALISE
of louisiana
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of New Orleans restauranteur Barbara Anselmo Chifici who passed away on January 23, 2021. She is survived by her seven children, twelve grandchildren, and two brothers.
Barbara reached national recognition throughout her successful career in the culinary industry. For almost 40 years, she owned Deanie's Seafood restaurants, which she operated with her late husband Frank Chifici. Known for their overflowing fried seafood platters, Deanie's restaurants became a New Orleans staple and were featured on numerous local and national news programs.
Barbara was also well-known for giving back to her community. From creating a crawfish and music festival that benefited local charities and serving as president of a local philanthropic organization to her numerous positions in the St. Mary Magdalen Mothers' Club and the Archbishop Rummel High School Parents' Club, Barbara played an invaluable role in our community. She will be deeply missed and her impact in Louisiana will be felt for many years.
I offer my sincerest condolences to her family, and I know her legacy will undoubtedly live on in our community.
