“Mrs. LeBuis was a stay-at-home mom, and was very supportive of her son’s and grandchildren’s activities.

“She was a volunteer at Holland Patent School District from 1975 to 2001. She was a member of South Trenton Presbyterian Church, where she sang in the choir, and was a Sunday school teacher.

“Roberta was a 50 year member of the Leon R. Roberts Post Ladies Auxiliary.  She was a supporter of the March of Dimes, and enjoyed bowling.”
