In Memoriam - Sue Tucker, CPM®

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:25:24 GMT

From Jeanne Booth, Tina Sandrock and Maria Orgeron

It is with great sadness that Tina Sandrock and I share with you the recent passing of our colleague, Sue Tucker. Sue passed away peacefully on Monday morning with her family by her side.

From: Jeanne Booth

If you were not aware, Sue joined Corporate Realty this past July after Gayle Benson’s acquisition of 1515 Poydras. While Sue wanted to continue to oversee this asset, she was equally motivated to contribute her extensive industry knowledge to our broader Corporate Realty team, built over 35+ years in real estate including the past 17 years with JLL.

After some thoughtful discussions (and a bit of good-natured persistence) Sue considered stepping into a role she had not originally thought of and enthusiastically joined me as Co-Director of Asset & Property Management. It that capacity, she played a key role in helping me shape, build and guide our management team.

Although Sue’s time with us was brief, she made a meaningful and lasting impression on our team. Her professionalism and leadership were evident every day. Despite her illness, she remained engaged and determined to make an impact and contribute wherever she could. We will deeply miss her partnership and plans we shared for our team.

From: Tina Sandrock

With a 17-year tenure at JLL at 1515 and 1555 Poydras, Sue Tucker was such a big part of what made these buildings so successful. Sue was someone you could always count on. She knew these buildings inside and out, but more importantly, she knew the people — our tenants, partners, and team — building real relationships that truly set her apart. She took tremendous pride in her work and in the impact, she made on these properties every single day. She was incredibly knowledgeable, with a truly exceptional understanding of what it takes to successfully run a building.

She was a true professional, but she also genuinely cared. Whether it was mentoring team members, supporting colleagues across JLL, or serving as a regional advisor on committees, Sue gave her time and knowledge generously. She helped shape not just our buildings, but the people and teams around her.

Sue’s impact extended well beyond JLL. Across the New Orleans real estate community, she was always willing to lend a hand, share her knowledge, and advocate for others. She took pride in helping people grow in their careers, and she did so with sincerity, warmth, and generosity.

She meant so much to our team, and to so many of you who worked with her over the years. The impact she made will stay with us, and she will be missed more than words can express.

Sue’s accomplishments throughout her career were numerous, including:

Multiple awards through JLL including the JLL Americas Property Manager of the Year, Property Manager of the Years (multiple times), Coach of the Year, and Team Player of the Year. Sue and her team were awarded year over year, the Client Service Excellence Award.
National Executive Advisory Council for JLL Houston/New Orleans region
Actively engaged as a Louisiana realtor and member of NOMAR
CPM© since 1995, National and Louisiana Chapter commitments
Founding member of CREW New Orleans

From: Maria Orgeron, Property One

Sue was an incredible mentor and a giant in our industry. Her dedication to helping others grow will be deeply missed. She was more than just a mentor; she was a true guiding light. I will forever be grateful for her patience, kindness, and belief in my potential. "Rest in peace, Sue. Thank you for everything."

Sue’s family will host a Celebration of Life on Wednesday, April 22 ^nd at Green Acres Country Club, 5000 W. Napoleon, Metairie starting at 5:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to Cancer research.
