Libbye Larance Obituary

JULY 10, 1932 – OCTOBER 10, 2020 Libbye Landry Larance began her journey of life in Opelousas (St. Landry Parish), Louisiana, the youngest of four children born to Volney Francis Landry, Sr. and Wilhelmina Frank Landry. She graduated from Baton Rouge High School and Louisiana State University. Following her marriage to Robert S. Larance in 1954, the couple moved to Richmond, Kentucky, where they lived all their married life and were both affiliated with Eastern Kentucky University. They were privileged to adopt two sons, Timothy Sanford (Deborah) and Thomas Scott. After the untimely death of her husband, Libbye and her two sons moved to the Venice, Florida area in 1976. Libbye is survived by her sons, Timothy and Thomas, grandson, Sean (Stephanie) Murren and great granddaughter Abigail; and by several nieces, nephews and other extended family. Libbye is also survived by her beloved companion of almost twenty years Trig Lucken. Libbye inspired and touched many lives through her involvement in her church, Prison Ministry and the Angel Tree programs. With her warmth and charm, Libbye made friends across generations. The funeral service will be private. Once social distancing guidelines are less restrictive, a public celebration of life will be held at Community Presbyterian Church in Englewood, Florida. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following, Kairos Prison Ministry, 130 University Park Drive #170, Winter Park, Florida 32792 Memorial Fund at Community Presbyterian Church, 405 S McCall Road, Englewood, Florida 34233 Libbye Landry Larance Internship Fund at Eastern Kentucky University, 521 Lancaster Ave., CPO 19A, Richmond, Ky 40475.

I have so many wonderful memories of Miss Libbye that I don’t have the space to tell about all of them. She was always a special kind and loving person to her sons and to my family. Libbye always sent Thank You letters after an event we went to or just to say
“hello” I enjoyed the many times she came to CHGO and always was so thankful for a
dinner we went to, or just being at my house. She loved her sons Tom and Tim with her whole heart and always said how wonderful they were. She always enjoyed my grandchildren and also took pictures at my children’s weddings. I will miss her dearly
Because Miss Libbye loved me and my family and for that I am so Thankful. She can now enjoy all the holidays with us because she will be looking down from Heaven and Miss Libbye will always be part of the occasion.
Love you!!
Marge
