Noricia Blanchard Young, 62, was a native of Patterson and resident of Houma. 
Surrounded by family and friends, Noricia fell asleep in death Thursday, May 
30, 2013.

A memorial service will be at 4 p.m. Sunday at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's 
Witnesses in Patterson.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jude Young; father, Linus Blanchard; 
daughters, Betty Jo Thomas and husband, Edward, and Laura Young; brothers, 
Reese and Kenneth Blanchard; sister, Vickie Turner; and grandchildren, Megan 
Hall and Kaeden Thomas.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Shirley Neal Blanchard.

Through her life, she gave herself to comforting and helping others, whether it 
was helping someone learn God's Bible truths or caring for the sick and 
elderly. She had the ability to view a negative situation as a positive 
challenge to prove her faith and loyalty.

She enjoyed singing, traveling and spending time with family.

Mama, you have touched us all with your love, light, faith, songs and strength. 
You will forever live in our minds, hearts, spirits and lives. Until we "meet 
you at the mountains" and see your beautiful red hair again, we love you.

Samart Funeral Home in Houma is in charge of arrangements.
