Bertha Lou LeBlanc, 76, of Anahuac, Texas, passed away on Sunday, June 30, 2019, at her home by the bay. She was born on April 24, 1943, in Jennings, Louisiana to Morris and Aline M. Romero Crader.
Bertha was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend to many. She was a nurturer by nature, someone who loved children, even providing childcare services over the years to many.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
