A prominent Rumson socialite, she was a leading fund-raiser for the Association of Retarded Citizens (now called the Arc) in Monmouth County and founded the organization's Winter Glow Ball. Her efforts, inspired by her mentally challenged daughter Anabel, played a major role in the Arc's rise from its humble origins in a small house on Hudson Avenue, Red Bank. Friends donated property on Route 35 in Shrew. sbury, and Riverfields, her estate in Rumson, served as the fundraising headquarters for the Winter Glow Ball. The ball, held Dec.

6 at the Shore Casino, has raised millions of dollars for the organization. She was born in Lodz, Poland, where her mother was visiting, and at 6 weeks old, she was brought home to London. She was educated at home. At age 18, "Bobbie," as she was known, met at and married American yachtsman Thomas Phillips Leaman. A relative of President Taft, Leaman came from an American publishing family.

They were featured in Life magazine, and his business took them all over the world. They made their home in an apartment on Park Avenue in New York. As a young wife, she endured tragedies: a miscarriage, and the loss of her first child, a son at the age of 8 months. Her crusade for the mentally handicapped began with the birth of her daughter Anabel, who had Down syndrome. Despite Anabel's handicap, the countess taught her to speak English and French and arranged for dance classes for her and her friends at home.

The Leaman family moved to California, and shortly after, Thomas became ill and died there. Eight years after her husband's death, she moved with her daughter back to Park Avenue, New York. She gained her noble title through her second marriage. Through mutual friends, she met the Count Anatole Buxhoeveden. The count, who had escaped with his family from Russia through Lichtenstein to Nice, France, spoke many languages and was a Russian Knight of Malta.

They both enjoyed the social life, but they had another common tie: the count cared for a brother with special needs. The countess, the former Roberta Montague-Rose, was a great lover of life and is a true example of one person making a difference, said her friend John Privetera. "The countess's list of accomplishments is long and distinguished, from the Silver Dove award to the Girl Scouts and Arc," Privetera said. She had great faith, and always said, "I have a great partner in all of this, the Lord." She lived in Rumson since 1955. SPARE TIME?
