Betty was best known in the real estate world as "Mrs. Betty." She owned and operated Betty LeBlanc Realty, where she worked diligently for her clients for the last 30 plus years. She always loved helping people not just find a house, but find a "home." She was a proud woman, a strong woman, a smart woman, and she was definitely a hustler, which she passed on to her kids and grandkids. And more times than not, she got to know her clients so well, that they became her friends for life.

Betty was 77 years old, and lived a long, beautiful and wonderful life filled with lots of love, joy and laughter. She was a great woman, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, who loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren. She would cook many Sunday dinners for her family, as she was an excellent cook. She always insisted on having all of the holidays at her house, which her family called "home." She had a definite green thumb, loved working in her yard and was very good at keeping her flowers blooming year-round.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her beloved husband of 59 years, Kelly J. LeBlanc, as well as her children, daughter Sheila LeBlanc Harrington and her spouse, Greg, son Eric S. LeBlanc and his spouse, Melissa Gary LeBlanc, son Branden J. LeBlanc and his spouse, Jessica Schexnider LeBlanc, and son, David B. LeBlanc, her grandchildren to whom she was affectionately known as Nana, Phillip LeBlanc and his wife Makenzie, Tyler Harrington, Alex LeBlanc, Lexi LeBlanc, Kennedy Harrington, Landon LeBlanc, Andre' LeBlanc, Camille LeBlanc, Kason LeBlanc, her great grandson, Aiden J. Harrington, and another great grandchild on the way. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Peggy Palombo and her husband, Stafford Palombo, brother-in-law, Oran Meche, and brother-in-law, Earl LeBlanc.

She was predeceased in death by her father, Murphy Lege and her mother, Louise Hebert Lege Stelly, her brother, Ronald Lege, her in-laws, Clovest “Tom” and Zoie Broussard LeBlanc, and her sister-in-law, Sandra LeBlanc Meche.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Abbeville, 209 S. St. Charles St., on Thursday, September 2, 2021 from 2:00 PM until 9:00 PM with a rosary being prayed at 7:00 PM; Friday, September 3, 2021 from 8:00 AM until 12:45PM when the procession will depart for the church.
