Battle Creek Enquirer
Elizabeth M. "Betty" Robbins, 93, a lifelong Battle Creek resident, died 
July 2, 2007, at Bickford Cottage.
Betty was part of the very first graduating class at Southwestern 
Junior High, a 1931 graduate of Battle Creek Central High School and studied 
home economics at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. She also took health, 
dietary, and home economic classes from Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and graduated 
with a degree as a Certified Dietician from Battle Creek College.
Betty married C. LaVern Robbins at First Congregational Church in Battle Creek.
She was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 56 years on June 6, 1992. 

Betty was a member of the Battle Creek Country Club; and the First 
Congregational Church, where she taught Sunday School for more than ten years. 
She was a former Camp Fire Leader, a member and former P.T.A. president; and a 
co-founder of the Battle Creek Home Economic Club. Betty was an avid Bridge 
player and enjoyed golfing. Through her husband's memberships in the National, 
Michigan and Battle Creek Association of Realtors; (Serving as National 
director, president of MAR, and president of the local association) and the 
Host Lions Club (Serving as International director, District Governor and 
president of the Host Club), they stayed very active. Even though, Betty felt 
Lions Club International provided a deeply rewarding experience for them as 
they traveled the globe, Battle Creek was always her home; and she was very 
proud of her family's long Battle Creek heritage.
At the request of the family, friends may call at the Farley-Estes & Dowdle 
Funeral Home 12:30 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 10, 2007, where funeral services
