    "As president, Mrs. deButts was responsible for many improvements made on the plantation and helped establish a master plan for its future development," said McClenahan.

    Mrs. deButts graduated from Foxcroft School and later served on its board.She was an artist who studied in New York, Paris and Florence.

    Mrs. deButts was a former president of the Fauquier Loudoun Garden Club and was a founder of both the Upperville Garden Club and the Upperville Library.

    Her husband, W. Hunter deButts, died in 1987.

    Survivors include two sons, W. Hunter deButts Jr. of Upperville and Robert L. Lee deButts of Norfolk, and a daughter, Mrs. Holly DeButts Spencer of Upperville.

    The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association, Stratford, Va. 22558 or to Foxcroft School, Middleburg, Va. 22117.

    Mary married William Hunter DeButts. William was born 23 Oct 1899, Delaplane, Virginia; died 23 Nov 1987; was buried , Ivy Hill Cemetery, Upperville, Virginia. [Group Sheet]
