Jetta Ann LeDuc

Jetta Ann LeDuc, 86, of Buhler, KS, died May 21, 2025, at Hospice House- Hutchinson, Kansas. She was born January 18, 1939, in Gettysburg, SD, to Joe and Agnus (Hiemstra) Van Bockel.
Jetta earned her GED at a prairie school outside of Gettysburg, SD. She went on to Teacher School for college in 1957. She met a handsome lad named David "Judo Chop" LeDuc who was stationed at the Gettysburg Air Force Station. The rest is history as they were married on June 1,1963. They moved to Michigan, Illinois, Kansas and finally settled in their later years in York, NE. Jetta was a teacher, school bus driver, and cook. She loved to bowl. She loved taking care of her four boys and raised them in the Word of God. Jetta enjoyed attending her flower garden and was always cooking or canning. But most of all, she was known for her knowledge of the Bible. She loved to sit with friends and do Bible studies. Sometimes when she played games like Bible Trivia, everyone wanted to be on her side. If you were on the opposing team well, you just ended up forfeiting to keep from the embarrassment. Jetta was a caregiver and loved to have company over for card games. She developed many friendships in the kindness she showed others by welcoming them in.
Jetta is survived by: her husband, David Damien LeDuc; her brother, Raymond Van Bockel; her children, Mike LeDuc (Lucinda) of Aberdeen, SD; Kelley LeDuc (Laurie) of Hutchinson, KS; Wade LeDuc (Denise) of Prairie Grove, AR; Andy LeDuc (Casi) of Wakarusa, KS; and grandchildren, Paul LeDuc, Hunter LeDuc, Gabe LeDuc, Brandon LeDuc (Abeni), Alyssa LeDuc, Kayla King (Colby), Megan LeDuc, Matthew LeDuc, Sean LeDuc and Emily LeDuc.
