She was one of the strongest women I have ever known, but showered you with love and gave you some of her strength to you in every hug. She raised four children while doing everything asked or not asked of her. She worked a night shift full time that also required a long commute. She survived multiple medical maladies and a motor vehicle accident that thankfully all family members did as well, but none unscarred.
She worked at making sure her children somehow had all they needed and more. Libby was one of my other mothers by her choice. She and Otis lovingly accepted me like a child of their own. Even in a very dark time in all of our lives, she offered understanding and her love.
Libby was such a positive influence and was the "Mom-Mom" to Kait that her mother was to her children. She loved all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was always one of them in whatever activity they wanted her to play with them. There were certainly some very memorable games of "Old Maid"
Libby loved music and taught me about George Jones and the heart of country music in a way I had never been exposed to before.
I will always hear her saying, "come here honey and give me a hug." I could sure use one of those hugs today!!
She was a leader in her family and world. I am a better person because of her acceptance and sharing and love! She had such a special way of sharing all with Kait. She could and would always help you find a smile!

The world lost a great lady but God got a great Angel. Words can never help the pain and sorrow of her passing but our memories will help us during these tough times. Our mother was an inspiration around all that knew her and her genuine love for us will forever be missed. We love you Mom, Go Rest High on That Mountain!!
