After 39 years in public education—teaching Elementary Music and Choir, then leading the fine arts department for a large public school district in Texas —Lisa Roebuck transitioned from school halls to community halls without missing a beat.

🏡 Rooted in Home & Heart

After retiring in June of 2021, Lisa and her husband found their perfect retirement home in her hometown. Being back in familiar surroundings made it easy—and rewarding—to dive into community life. “If you asked my family,” she says with a smile, “they’d say I’m over-involved. But I love it!”

🤝 Deeply Engaged in Community Service

Lisa is a board member and volunteer at the Hill Country Needs Council, where she helps manage cases and support individuals and families in need. She’s also helping launch the Little Hearts Child Development Center, a mission-driven initiative giving priority to disadvantaged and trauma-affected families.

She serves on the boards of the Delta Kappa Gamma – Beta Zeta Chapter, and Zonta, a women’s service organization supporting scholarships, nonprofits, and literacy through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Lisa will serve as President of the local Zonta Club/Foundation next year.

And yes—she still finds time for Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours with her local Texas Exes chapter!

🎶 Returning to Her Musical Roots

Lisa continues to mentor future Fine Arts educators as a Music Student Teacher Supervisor for Texas State University. She sings in her church choir, occasionally plays the piano during services, and performs with a local Women’s Choir—rediscovering the joy of music with time to rehearse and reflect.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Cherishing Family & Simple Joys

Despite her many roles, Lisa says family comes first. She treasures time spent with her husband and mother, reconnecting with friends, and delights in home life—gardening, cooking, walking, and savoring quiet mornings with coffee and the news.

🌺 Looking Ahead with Purpose

Lisa plans to continue her volunteer work, nurture her garden and pond, and most importantly, spend meaningful time with loved ones. “There are so many great causes to support,” she says, “but I’m learning to choose what fills me up.”

💬 Words of Wisdom

“Some people fear retirement because they think they won’t be needed anymore,” Lisa reflects. “But I’ve seen how retired people are often the most productive citizens in our communities. So my advice? Retire—and get even more involved!”
