Back to Africa
Back in May, 2017, the Tybee Beachcomber wrote a feature story about Steve and Bethany Kellam’s mission to the Mountain Park Academy in Kenya,
Africa. The Kellams were instrumental in providing donations, love and support to the children at the Academy. This March, they and a number of people are
headed back to Kenya. We can help! Between now and March 1st, the Kellams are collecting a variety of items to take with them.
They are in dire need of the following items:
Tennis shoes and flip flops, all sizes. Boys and girls underwear (age ranging from four years to 16), socks, sports bras for the girls, plain note pads and fun
stuff like jump ropes, frisbees, soccer and footballs, chalk, jacks, and hackey sacks.
Any donations will be gratefully accepted. Please drop off any items to either Docs and/or Tybee Time on or before March 1st. The little things we take
for granted mean a huge amount to someone else.
38 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | FEB 2018
You are sitting at the bar minding your own business when in walks this
southern lady: Pretty and charming, dressed up for court in her business suit
finest, with a handsome man at her side, named Tom Hudson, and with a
southern accent that drawls out to the entire bar (all of whom she knows),
“So, what’s the scoop?” “Fix me a vodka, soda with a twist of lime and tell
me everything you know.” That said with a wink and a smile! LuAnn Roberts
was the epitome of southern charm and class. Breaks the heart that she is
gone. Unexpectedly departing Tybee for a higher calling, LuAnn has left all
of us at a loss.
LuAnn met the love of her life, Tom Hudson, in court on opposite sides of
a custody battle. Tom knew he lost (his heart) when he saw her in action. All
of the people she worked with and knew admired her and one of Savannah’s
judges said, “That woman gives me heartburn.” YASSS!!!! LOVE YOU
LUANN!!
For the last 20 years, Tom and LuAnn called Tybee home and Tybee called
them every time one of us went to jail or got a divorce. LuAnn was a tough
cookie. And Smart!!! Not only did she have a doctorate in law, but also a
Master’s Degree in History. She taught for many years at Armstrong, before
she went into Law.
LuAnn loved her husband, Tom, her daughter, Louise, her grandbabies,
Myia and Garrett, her four step grandchildren, her assistant and dear friend,
Suzanne, and her animals! Cujo, Beemer and Cally are her cats and Meme is
her seven-pound Chihuahua with a 50-pound mouth! Just like LuAnn!
Tybee will go on, but with a heavy heart. LuAnn, keep on smiling classy
lady and we will see you when we see you.
