Posted by themusicsover on February 24, 2010

Antoinette K-Doe (Born Antoinette Dorsey)
February 3, 1943 – February 24, 2009

kdoeAntoinette K-Doe was a popular New Orleans fixture for many years.  Married to local R&B legend, Ernie K-Doe, she helped keep his memory alive after his death in 2001.  Following his passing, Antoinette ran their popular Mother-in-Law Lounge which had originally opened in 1994.  After Hurricane Katrina hit in August of 2005,  Antoinette was stranded at the club for a week until she could be rescued.  She was then one of the first to return to aid the rebuilding efforts, at times cooking up meals for upwards of 200 volunteers.  The Mother-in-Law lounge reopened one year after Katrina.  On February 24, 2009, Antoinette K-Doe suffered a fatal heart attack.
