Upon graduating from high school Ted served his country during World War II. He enlisted in the US Army seeing active duty in the Philippines. Ted returned to North Louisiana after the war ended in 1945. Ted married Betty Ouzts in June, 1950, in Minden, and they eventually became residents of Shreveport during the 1950s. Ted & Betty shared 64 years together as husband and wife. Ted retired from the US Postal Service in 1987 with nearly two & one half decades of service.
Preceded in death by wife, Betty Youngblood, father Willie Bert Youngblood, mother Cornelia Bryan Youngblood, sister Eugenia Alford, and sister Marion Karchefski.
Survived by daughter, Lynn Woodall; son, Ted C. Youngblood Jr., son, Richard G. Youngblood; brother, Blanchard Youngblood; four granddaughters; and numerous great-grandchildren.
Ted Sr. was typically a man of few words with a dry sense of humor but he enjoyed sharing jokes and a good laugh with anyone. He enjoyed camping, fishing, vacations with his family, listening to classical & country music, keeping the lawn neatly manicured, and riding his motorcycles. Ted seemed to really enjoy the vegetable garden he cultivated for many years that supplied his family and some of the neighbors with an abundance of fresh produce.
Ted battled illness for a considerable time before his passing. May he now rest in peace.
