Mrs. Marguerite Sinegar transitioned from this life Monday, February 24, 2025 at Harbor Hospice in Beaumont, TX at the age of 94. An original native of Erath, Louisiana, she moved to Port Arthur at a young age, where she remained until her death.  

She was the caregiver for the Priest at Immaculate Conception Church for 15 years and at St. James Catholic Church for over 10 years. She was a member of the Modern Misses Social and Civic Club and was also a member of the KPC Ladies Auxiliary for many years. She will forever be remembered as Lady Sinegar.  Lady Sinegar embodied the charisma of the Knights of Peter Claver, Inc. as she worked for the church and the Nobel Order.  She was involved in various ministries at the church.  She was an active and supportive member of our Noble Order since 1976. As a member of the Ladies Auxiliary, she participated and attended many events throughout the years. Lady Sinegar was one that the organization could count on to help prepare for the fundraiser especially during Lenten season. She would graciously support the KPC on the local, state and national level. She donated unselfishly from her heart towards the annual Parade of Salads, back to school drive, the Mikey Leland food drive and the National Scholarship program.

She was preceded in death by her late husband Loveless Sinegar; her parents Jack Gibson and Aline Nezey-Gibson; three sisters Josephine Gibson, Ethelina Bernard and Patricia Brooks; one brother Chester Gibson; one son Patrick Sinegar Sr.; two grandchildren James Robinson III and Marlon Sinegar; one niece Penny Brooks and two nephews Gregory Brooks and Robert James Bernard.

Those she held dear to her heart, Yapphet Chambers Sr., Lillie Ann Sperling, Jimmy Bowie and Sherry Sinegal along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and devoted friends.
