Kathleen Caballero

Kathleen Caballero, 86, of Baton Rouge, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026.

Born in Napoleonville to Edmond and Winnie Landry, Kathleen grew up surrounded by the values of faith, family, and a joyful, spirited energy. She now joins her parents, her brother, Edward Landry, and her daughter‑in‑law, Margie Caballero, in eternal rest.

She leaves behind her devoted husband of 66 years, Eugene Caballero Sr., whose life was intertwined with hers in love and partnership. She is also survived by her children: Eugene Caballero Jr. of Denham Springs; Cindy Caballero of Baton Rouge; Kyle Caballero of Prairieville; and Scotty Caballero (Ann) of Spruce Pine, North Carolina; and by her brother, Jimmy (Loretta) Landry of Labadieville.

Kathleen’s legacy continues through her grandchildren—Cassie (Jeret) Snell, Brittany (Joe) Valencia, Katelyn (Robby) Eubanks, Hilary (Israel) Caballero, Corbin Caballero, Landry Caballero, Scott (Chande) Caballero, Lance (Julie) Caballero, and Alyce (Cory) Boyd—and through the twenty great‑grandchildren who brought her endless joy.

For more than 25 years, Kathleen shared her warmth and patience as a Catholic school kindergarten teacher, shaping young hearts with gentleness and grace. Her faith remained a guiding light throughout her life, and she was a devoted member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Baton Rouge.

Above all, Kathleen cherished her family. She delighted in being present for the milestones—large and small—of her children, grandchildren, and great‑grandchildren, rarely missing a moment that mattered. She found joy in simple pleasures: shopping, long conversations on the phone, and the laughter she shared with her close‑knit circle of friends, affectionately known as “The Hens.”

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at St. George Catholic Church in Baton Rouge, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial. Interment will take place at St. George Mausoleum.

Pallbearers will be her Grandson's, Scott Caballero , Lance Caballero, Corbin Caballero, and Landry Caballero and her two Godson's Rene Caballero and Chad Landry.

Special thanks to Alvin Burton and the staff at Central Guest House, and to Church Funeral Services, for their compassionate care.

Her spirit lives on in every laugh she inspired, every life she touched, and every generation blessed by her love.
