CASE Credit Union
Scholarships for High School Seniors
THIS SCHOLARSHIP IS GIVEN IN MEMORY OF
FLORENCE CHUBB, BUD HAYES, HYRTL FEEMAN, AND SHEILA A. WILLIAMS-MATLOCK
Florence Chubb served the Lansing School District in elementary education as a Lead and Remedial
Reading Teacher. She started in 1950 with Allen Street School and then went on to Maplewood School,
Barnes Avenue School, Cavanaugh School, Kendon School, Everett Elementary, and eventually ending at
North Holmes. She was a well-loved and well-respected board president from 1963 to 1977 and was
involved in the move to the present location on South Pennsylvania Ave.
June ‘Bud’ Hayes started his career within the Lansing School District as a 6th-grade teacher at Verlinden
School. He went on to become the principal at Lyons Avenue School and later, Main Street School. He
was a member of our credit committee for several years in the early ’90s. Because of his dedication to
CASE Credit Union, his name was added to the scholarship to honor him.
Hyrtl Feeman began his career within the Lansing School District where he served as the principal at
Walter French Junior High School. He was one of the founders of the credit union, signed the original
charter, and was an active member from 1936 until the early 2000s.
Sheila A. Williams-Matlock was a steadfast presence at CASE for over three decades. She was unfailingly
kind and soft-spoken, yet a powerful advocate for employees. She was modest, supportive, and
approached every situation with care and tact. Sheila always had a smile and her laugh was truly
infectious. She freely volunteered her time in the community and many CASE team members benefited
from her mentorship over the years. As a leader and an advocate for education, we know that Sheila
would be deeply humbled to continue contributing to the success of young people through this
scholarship in her memory.
