Deborah Louise Roberts, affectionately known as Debby, passed away on August 9, 2024 in Lee’s Summit, Missouri at the age of 67. Born on December 4, 1956 in Overland Park, Kansas, Debby was a proud graduate of Kansas University where she earned her degree in social work. Despite her educational background, she found her professional calling in the field of information technology and retired from the IT department for the City of Lee’s Summit in 2019.
Debby married Scott R. Roberts on June 11, 2005 and together they enjoyed life on Prairie Lee Lake, enjoying time on the water and hosting get-togethers for friends and family. Debby was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2020, a battle she overcame with tremendous courage and support from her loving husband, family and friends.
She is survived by her husband, Scott; her sister, Kathy Nall, of Olathe, Kansas; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Van and Alice Roberts of Sun City West, Arizona; her brother and sister-in-law, Matt and Shelley Roberts of Olathe, Kansas; Brian and Andrea Roberts of Paradise Valley, Arizona; and Kendra and Greg Jones of Lawrence, Kansas. She is also survived by eight nieces and nephews and eight great-nieces and nephews from Kansas, Michigan, Arizona, and Missouri. Debby’s parents, William H. and Shirley Ann Carlos, predeceased her.
The viewing will be held on Tuesday, August 20th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Langsford Funeral Home, 115 SW 3rd St., Lee’s Summit, MO 64063. A memorial service will be held the following morning, Wednesday, at 10:00 a.m. at the same location.
