Cheryl Barrow LeBlanc
August 3, 1945 - January 10, 2016
Cheryl Barrow LeBlanc,
70, of Beaumont, died Sunday, January 10, 2015, in her home. She was born on
August 3, 1945, in Beaumont, to Gussie Lois Wagner Barrow and Sam Lester
Barrow, and had been a lifelong resident of the area.
Cheryl was a former
beautician, legal assistant for the district attorney’s office, a book keeper
for Gem Jewelry and Butch Hoffers, and a real estate agent for American Real
Estate, and eventually made the choice to stay home and raise her children. She
loved taking vacations with her children and loving husband, Richard. They took
many vacations to Mexico and also traveled to such places as New York City, San
Antonio, Washington D.C., South Padre Island, and would often spend summers at
the beach. She especially enjoyed making Halloween costumes for her
grandchildren and the lighting of the Christmas tree at the court house every
year. She also cherished her bird, bell, angel, and vase collections.
Cheryl was an amazing
cook and loved making Cajun food. Christmas and birthdays were always a big
event. She made her husband, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids feel her love
with her grandiose affairs for their specials days. Cheryl had a quick wit and
was known for her big smile that would light up every room she walked into. She will be dearly missed by all that loved
her.
