Nina May LeBlanc Romero went to meet her Lord on Saturday, August 29, 2020, at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center at the age of 95.

Nina May LeBlanc was born on August 18, 1925, to Leo and Helene (nee Legnon) LeBlanc near Delcambre, Louisiana. She married her husband, John White Romero, on February 5, 1947, and the couple set up their home in Youngsville, Louisiana. They soon welcomed four children.  They later moved to New Iberia where Nina lived until her death.

Nina, known as Mom-Mom, was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She worked most of her life as a homemaker, though she did work for some time as a custodian at New Iberia Senior High School as well as one of the individuals responsible for cleaning the church. She loved taking walks with her husband and spending time with her family. Her greatest love, however, was for her Lord. She looked forward to attending Mass weekly so that she could worship. She also was very diligent in her praying, offering prayers daily for her friends and family and anyone else that she knew needed prayer.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons Larry (Sandra) Romero and John Lee Romero, her daughter, Judy (Willis) Landry, grandchildren Jerod (Tracie) Landry, Jeremy (Lori), Stephen Joseph Landry, Taylor (Chris) Freeman, Brittany Johnson, Shad Robert Romero, and Tyler John Romero, and great-grandchildren, Christian Landry, Zachary Landry, Seth Landry, Hanna Landry, Mary Ruth Freeman, Gracie Bennett, Madeline Guarisco, Noah Guarisco, and Isabella “Bella” Guarisco.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, John White Romero, her infant son, Narry Lee Louis Romero, her parents, Leo and Helene (Legnon) LeBlanc, maternal grandparents, Louis and Madea Legnon, paternal grandparents, Paul and Sylvena (Bodin) LeBlanc, her brothers, Ernest LeBlanc and Russell LeBlanc, and her sister, Linda Toucheque.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons and great-grandsons, Jerod Landry, Jeremy Landry, Stephen Landry, Christian Landry, Zachary Landry, and Seth Landry. Honorary pallbearers will be Larry Romero, John Lee Romero, Willis Landry, and Chris Freeman. Lectors will be Sandra Romero and Taylor Freeman.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Grace Home Health and to the staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center.
