Shirley LeBlanc Ditch named Mt. Carmel Homecoming queen 70 years ago

Shirley LeBlanc Ditch was crowned homecoming queen at Mt. Carmel in 1953, seventy years ago.
Recently, her children discovered that their mother was not only part of the homecoming court, but she was also the queen.
However, when asked about it, Shirley changed the topic and spoke about her friends on the court instead.

Shirley is the daughter of the late Edward LeBlanc and Neda Comeaux LeBlanc, and the sister of retired General Bob LeBlanc and the late Dr. Edward J. LeBlanc, Jr.
After finishing high school, she pursued further education at USL, where she graduated in education. It was there that she met Oliver Perry Ditch, a retired US Air Force personnel, and they were married for 64 years until his recent death.
The couple has four children - Karen Dominick, Perry Ditch, Richard Ditch, and David Ditch - as well as eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
