Colette LeBlanc, 75, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away on Thursday, January 27, 2022. She was born on September 25, 1946, in Chicago, Illinois, to Stanley Rogus and Dorothy (Mroz) Rogus.

Colette was a strong-willed, fun-loving woman who could always find a silver-lining in any situation. She relied on her faith, values, and sense of humor to bravely navigate the many challenges life presented. Whether you were family or friend, once accepted to her circle, it no longer mattered; you were family.

She loved cooking, baking, and entertaining. She never met a recipe she couldn't tweak, a craft she couldn't master, or a plant she couldn't nurture. Her stories made you howl with laughter or moved you to tears, often in the same story. And those were just a few of her many talents.

We no longer have her physically in our lives, but our lives are enriched by her presence in ours. We will never forget her. She was our teacher; our companion; our confidante; our best friend.

Colette is survived by her brothers Wayne (Annie) Deering, Ron (Ronette) Rogus; brother-in-law, Ken (Diane) Schuetz; children, Nancy Schuetz, Stephan Schuetz, and Heidi Schuetz; step-children, Dave (Linda) Jones, Mike (Bunny) Jones, Michael LeBlanc; Steve LeBlanc, Robby LeBlanc, and Sue (Dave) Epperson; grandchildren, Caitlin Salerno, Charles T. Schuetz, Connor Schuetz, Thomas Schuetz, Cody (Amanda) Jones, Luke (Kaylyn) Jones, Michael Deines, Samaria (Trevor) Winkler, Angel LeBlanc, and Amanda LeBlanc; great-grandchildren, Amaya Winkler, Zayne Winkler, Lenoxx Winkler, and Levi Jones; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Colette was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, Charles R. Schuetz, Bob Jones, and Joseph V. LeBlanc; son, Charles E. Schuetz; stepdaughter, Valerie LeBlanc.

A memorial mass will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, February 11, 2022, at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church. Out of respect for the family, please refrain from wearing perfume and cologne due to allergies. A private interment for the family will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Hospice of the Ozarks.
