Mrs. Sabra LeBlanc Simon passed away at 5:05PM, on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Woodbriar Assisted Living in Maurice. A beloved teacher, avid reader, and endlessly stylish hostess, Mrs. Sabra brought warmth, laughter, and elegance to every corner of her life. For 25 years, she inspired countless students as an 8th-grade reading and French teacher, where she was affectionately known as “Madame.” Her love for literature was infectious, her classroom a place where imagination and knowledge thrived. At 35, with seven children at home, she returned to school and graduated at the top of her class—a testament to her strength, intelligence, and determination. Beyond the classroom, she was a vibrant presence in her church choir and the heart behind unforgettable Christmas pageants and productions—some so lively they even featured her husband in a tutu. Her creativity knew no bounds, especially during the holidays. Christmas was more than a season to her—it was a way of life, with decorations that sparkled from Thanksgiving Day and carols playing on the radio. A proud member of the Demitasse Club, she was known for her impeccable style, love of hosting, and a party spirit that made every gathering magical. Her quick wit and radiant sense of humor lit up every room she entered. She could out-whistle anyone and, to the surprise of many, handle a shotgun with the same grace she brought to the dinner table. Avid reader, loving wife, devoted mother, and grandmother—her greatest joy was found in the company of family. High school sweethearts, she and her husband built a life filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, grace, and sparkle—forever cherished and never forgotten.
