Miss Libbie was my Brownie leader and I fondly remember my days in the scouts. She left a lasting impression on me and that was 50 years ago. RIP Miss Libbie. You will aways be remembered.

Miss Libbie you will always be remembered by all the girls that belonged to the Girl Scouts in Lyndhurst. You were always kind to everyone, Iremember when I joined scouting, and my parent could not always afford dues, and you let it slide for me, and I know you laid that out for me. Rest in peace you helped change the world for all. God bless.

Miss Libbie was my Girl Scout leader in the late 1950's. She always had a quick smile and patience that came so easy for her. I still remember msny of the fun things we did and the life lessons she taught us.
