Even as she entered the nursing home, she passed out daily chronicles to the residents until the loss of sight lessened her mobility. Libby never lost her smile. One of her favorite past times was singing. She enjoyed the singing group that would gather at her brother, Harold's home. It consisted of siblings and friends. Most of all, she loved Jesus. She sang in the church choir and taught Sunday School for many years. Singing praises to the Lord brought her immense joy. Grandchildren and great grandchildren were the apples of her eye.
