Graveside services with military honors for Leo D. Roberts, 82, of Ardmore were held at 10 a.m. Thursday, January 21 at Lakeview Cemetery, Marietta with Dr. Walt Spradling officiating.
 
Born November 4, 1938 at Snow, the son of J.A. "Bud" and Syble Minyard Roberts, he died Monday, January 18, 2021 in Mercy Health Love County, Marietta.
 
Leo grew up in Canute and graduated with the Canute Class of 1957. He joined the U.S. Army National Guard in 1959 and was honorably discharged in 1961. Leo moved to Ardmore in 1968.

Leo retired from US Foods as a salesman and then drove cars for several car dealerships in Ardmore. He was a member of the Ardmore Elks Lodge since the 70's and was the Exalted Ruler from 1973-1974. Leo was a diehard Sooner and OKC Thunder fan. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed working in his yard. One of his pastimes was visiting with all the coffee drinkers at McDonald's.
