Leroy was born August 28, 1926 and was preceded in death by his wife Edna Mobolene Richards Ellett.
Leroy and Mobie were known to take in and care for many children over the course of their married life, daughters Rene Mobley (husband Phil) of Dalhart, Hope Reyes of Killeen, Elizabeth Strmiska (husband James) of Chandler, AZ, Amanda Parker (husband David) of Burnet. Grandchildren Veluska Reyes, Garrison Strmiska, Josiah, Kayla and Elesha Parker, Jered, Bret and PJ Mobley and many more. Also survived by his sister-in-law Carol Richards Freeman of Marble Falls, and brother-in-law Billy Don Weaver of Burnet, and brother-in-law Roger Crowder of Burnet, sister-in-law Jane Richards of Georgetown. Plus numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Leroy spent most of his life in Burnet and has had several careers throughout his life, but he is mostly known for being a homebuilder.
Leroy was a friend to anyone and everyone.
One of the things that we will miss about Leroy is he always had a story. I wished he had written a book for all the stories that he told from childhood on up, he could definitely keep us laughing.
Leroy and Mobie loved to dance! Leroy did not dance before he met Mobie and after that, they were always known to hit different cities throughout the week and weekend and dance until the clubs closed.
