Sue Alice LeBlanc

Sue Alice Melancon LeBlanc, 68, of Breaux Bridge, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at her residence. Born on December 31, 1957 in Arnaudville, Louisiana, she was one of five children born to Lawrence “PeeWee” and Anna Lou Knott Melancon.

Sue met the love of her life, Joey, in 1984 and married him on January 23, 1987. Together they raised one son and two daughters. She devoted herself completely to her family, taking great pride in her role as a homemaker and stay-at-home mother. Her children were deeply loved and cherished, yet it was her grandchildren who brought her the greatest joy. She spoiled them with affection and generosity until the very end.

Sue found quiet pleasure in crafting and making beaded rosaries. She also loved planting flowers, especially roses, as well as remodeling and cleaning her home, and cooking for her family. Those who knew her will remember her selfless and generous spirit, always caring for others before herself.

She is survived by her children, Robert D. “Bobby” Boutte, Jr., Rachel L. Tarver, and Heather M. LeBlanc; sons-in-law Nathan R. Tarver and Craig J. Dartez, II, whom she loved as her own; grandchildren Phillip Domingue (Shelby), Tylor (Kaitlyn), Ian and Beau Boutte, Taygan and Keagan Tarver, Craig III, Cress, and Croix Dartez; sister Earline Billiot (Anthony); brother George Melancon (Gwen); a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles; her devoted friend, relative and caretaker Deborah Scoggin; and close friend Gina LeBlanc. She was preceded in death by her husband Joey LeBlanc, her parents, brothers Darrell and Michael Melancon, her sister Linda Bourque, and several other dear family members.
