Delta Borel LeBlanc's Obituary
Delta Borel LeBlanc, at the age of 88, entered eternal rest peacefully on Monday evening, March 20, 2023, at Christwood Retirement Community surrounded by her loving family. She was born in New Iberia, Louisiana on August 28, 1934, to Alsace Borel and Irma Broussard Borel.
She is survived by her loving husband Harry LeBlanc Sr. of 69 years, her children Harry LeBlanc Jr. (Elaine), Mary LeBlanc Beeler (Ray), and Timothy LeBlanc (Kathi). Delta was the proud grandmother of Joshua and Jason Beeler, Marc LeBlanc, Amanda Ashcraft Scroggin and David Ashcraft, and great grandmother of Sawyer Scroggin. She will be dearly missed by her family and lifelong friends.
Delta was preceded in death by her parents, Alsace and Irma Borel.
A native of New Iberia and proud resident of Covington for over 15 years, Delta graduated from New Iberia High School in 1953. She was an outstanding bank teller for First NBC until retirement in 1998. Delta was devoted to her Catholic faith and was an active member of St. Benedict Catholic Church.
Delta was loving, compassionate, and most of all a very caring person to all. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, playing cards and dominos with friends, shopping, and visiting casinos in Mississippi. However, her true passion was spending time with her loving family and friends. Delta was unique and irreplaceable, well-respected and liked, and will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her spirit and tender nature will remain in the many memoires of her cherished friends and family until they meet her again.
