Betty LeBlanc Wilroy

Betty LeBlanc Wilroy, age 90 of Orlando, Florida, passed away August 26, 2021.  She was preceded in death by her mother Nora Bond Rushan, father Arvey Leon and his wife Eleanor LeBlanc, brother Shirley LeBlanc and nephew Richard.  She is survived by her husband, Robert Avery Wilroy; daughter Ava Sims; son Rex and wife Liz Wilroy; granddaughter Christina; nieces Sandy, Linda, Mickey and Debbie; plus many Stuffed Bears!  Graveside funeral service will be held Thursday, September 2, 2021 at 10:00 am at Dr. Phillips Cemetery.  Visitation will be held Wednesday from 6 pm - 8 pm, at Dobbs Funeral Home.

Betty was born July 24, 1931 in Mobile AL. She learned early to grab her own destiny when she taught herself to drive with the family’s car in the front yard.  A young Betty was a Beauty Queen and loved watching her dad compete in boat races.  She ran the custodial operations at the Naval Training Center Orlando. Her true love of beautiful old furniture became “Humbugs Antiques”, first in a shop near downtown Orlando and then in Mount Dora.  Working till the end, she just finished completely rebuilding a beautiful chandelier a few months ago.  We will miss her dearly!
