A resident of Consolata Nursing Home in New Iberia for the past 5 years and a native of Jeanerette, was called home on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, surrounded by family.

She was a graduate of St. Joseph’s Catholic School of Jeanerette and together with her late husband, Milton Landry Jr., they raised 10 children.

“Jay” as she was affectionately known by her friends and family, was a very creative person with many talents. She was very artistic and loved doing crafts. She loved making rosaries and jewelry out of Job's tears, which she grew herself, then giving them to family and friends. Some of her favorite hobbies were: fishing, jewelry making, gardening, and caring for her plants and flowers, and she never missed her soap operas.

She also served her community as a volunteer secretary for Social Services of New Iberia, LA for many years and she never wanted to miss work. She was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church of New Iberia where she practiced as a Eucharistic Minister until she became ill.

She is survived by her 10 children: Dale Landry (Peggy), Eva LeBlanc (David), Sharon LeBlanc (Mike), Gail Mason (Don), Debbie Landry, Gloria Ray, Lynn Broussard (Kevin), Luke Landry (Holly), Randy Landry (Christina), and Angela Simpson (John); One brother, Mark Anderson (Gloria); 41 Grandchildren and 66 Great Grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her late husband, Milton Landry Jr., her two sisters Deanna Rogers and Florine LeBlanc; her brother Keith Anderson; and her granddaughter, Elizabeth Leblanc.
