Joyce was blessed with a beautiful family, but in her pastime, she enjoyed pedro, reading, collecting recipes, scrabble and mostly spending time with her family. She was devoted to the Lord above everything else. She expressed her faith through her selfless love for her family and everyone who was blessed to enter through her kitchen door. Her joyful spirit made each person feel like they were the most important person in the world. She was the best daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother anyone could hope to have. She will be loved and missed forever. The LeBlanc family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the nurses and staff of Haydel Hospice for their care, compassion, and support during the family’s time of need. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to Catholic Charities or Mass memorials. Chauvin Funeral Home and Crematory is honored to serve the Arceneaux/LeBlanc family.
