Sue Lebeau Obituary
Please join us in remembering Sue E. LeBeau of London, at the First Presbyterian Church, 211 Garfield Ave., London, Ohio 43140 on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 10:30am. Sue Ellen LeBeau (née Eckle) of London, Ohio, age 78, died suddenly January 16, 2020 in Columbus, Ohio. She was born April 9, 1941 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Martha A. (Todd) and Louis Eckle, and grew up in Columbus, Ohio along with her brother, Hugh, and sisters, Nancy and Criss. Sue graduated from North High School in 1959 and married Robert E. LeBeau, Jr. in 1966. Her most important jobs were as wife, mother and homemaker, but she also had various occupations, including real estate and catering. Susie had many talents and passions, including painting, cooking, gardening & feeding the birds, attending Dick LeBeau's football games, and her husband, Bob's, concerts. She also loved all animals and wildlife and had many beloved pets through the years. As the loving matriarch to our large family, she fulfilled the role of wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother in ways incomparable. She cared for us all and ensured every holiday and family celebration was filled with love and laughter. Her life was devoted to giving to her family selflessly, and she spent many years caring for her beloved youngest son, Bobby, providing him with a joyous life despite his challenges with mental illness. Susie treated her closest friends the same as family. She is survived by her husband, Robert E. LeBeau, Jr.; son, Todd LeBeau (Donna); daughters, Robin Shumate (Jim) and Michelle Prenger (Kevin); grandchildren, Christopher Shumate (Rachel), Elizabeth LeBeau, Courtney Ross (Ryan), Nicholas LeBeau (Laura), James LeBeau (Melanie, fiancée), Jacob Prenger, Kacy Lytle, Verity Prenger; great-grandchildren, William and Aubrey Shumate, Oliver Ross; sister, Criss Wehr (Lynn); brothers-in-law, Frank Golden, Dick LeBeau (Nancy); sister-in-law Nancy Eckle; and so many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved sons, Ronald Scott LeBeau and Robert Emerson LeBeau, III, dear sister and best friend, Nancy Golden, and brother, Hugh Eckle. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to your local animal shelter.

I know you're hurting right now at the loss of your beloved Sue which is only natural. But in time you will only think about all the wonderful memories you have of her and her many talents. I haven't seen Sue since her Dad's birthday party where the two of them danced and had the room rockin'. It was so good to see her. She was always so much fun and I'm sure you already know that side of her. I lived across the street from the Eckle family on Olentangy Street and that was the front porch to keep an eye on. There was always cool kids visiting one of them. And you could hear the fun times they were having on that porch. I will never forget one time Sue and I took the city bus to go downtown to Lazarus. When we got off the bus, she started talking like a hillbilly and looking up at the tall buildings around us. I had no idea she was going to do this and I laughed hysterically. Sometimes she even took me on a drive when one of her friends would stop by in her convertible and we would tool around the north end. I was 3 years younger and boy did I feel like a big shot.
Whenever I think of her, I think of a warm and fun person and I'm so sorry that she is no longer here with you.
Sincerely,
Janice Dearth Rhodes
