Sylvia Van Osdell LeBlanc, 81, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2017 at 
Pontchartrain Health Care Center, with her loving husband at her side. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin Smith Van Osdell, Sr. and 
Myrtle Yarbrough Van Osdell, a brother, Benjamin Smith Van Osdell, Jr., and an 
infant brother Wesley Van Osdell.

Sylvia is survived by her husband of 56 years, Roy Michel LeBlanc, Sr., her 
three children, Judith LeBlanc Achary (Michael), Roy Michel LeBlanc, Jr. 
(Karen), and Eric Matthew LeBlanc (Norma). Sylvia was an adoring grandmother to 
Andrew Achary (Dana), Philip Achary, Lindsay Achary, Katherine Fish (Jebb), Roy 
Alexander LeBlanc, Victoria LeBlanc, Isabella LeBlanc, Karen Nishimoto (Ben), 
Katherine Murillo, and Joshua Murillo; great-grandmother to Lauren Fish, Grady 
Fish, Gavin Nadeau, and Bear Nishimoto.

Sylvia was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who lived a full life in 
support of her loving family. She was a life-long New Orleanian and moved to 
Mandeville twenty years ago. Sylvia was a graduate of John McDonogh High School 
and Cappell Beauty School. She was a fun-loving positive person who was deeply 
religious and giving. Sylvia loved family vacations, Mardi Gras, cooking, was a 
dog lover, and had many friends. Her outgoing personality and beautiful smile 
will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

The family would like to give special thanks to the staff of Pontchartrain 
Health Care Center and Hospice of St. Tammany Parish Hospital for their loving 
care and support.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass
