She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Morris J. LeBlanc, her parents Edna B. Pellegrin and Levis P.

Belanger, Jr.

In her early years, she worked at a shrimp factory, Woolworth’s Dept store and The Houma Courier. When Morris worked offshore 7&7 she took care of 5 little boys M-F, (total of 13 over the years), while having 5 school aged children of her own. She loved playing Pokeno, Bingo, dancing, bowling, camping and going to the casinos and family gatherings. But most of all, her passion was cooking, she’d never let you go hungry and always had a pot of coffee waiting for those who visited. She also loved being silly and enjoyed making up songs to sing to all children, her own or those she just met. She will sadly be missed by all of us.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to OLOL Hospital of Ascension, her doctors, Audubon Hospice and caregivers especially Dawn, Angie, Sheila, Paulette, Cynthia and Kierra. We were so blessed to have each one of them at mom’s side. They all treated her as if she were their own mother, just amazing and so comforting. We would also like to thank Jesus Christ for creating such a special, kind and loving person and for loaning our mother to us so she could share her happy and funny personality, love and kindness to all.

We would like to invite her family and friends to share in the celebration of her life.

She was a parishioner of Annunziata Church.
