Elizabeth McDowell Diffie

I can´t imagine any teacher who had greater impact on more students. Libby has been a blessing in ours lives well beyond teaching - a friend, an advocate, a cheerleader, and a source of unending love and support. We miss her so much.

Libby was a remarkable person. She was a courageous fighter, a passionate educator, and a kind friend. We still fondly recall our first chat with her and Craig when we moved here. We loved watching her change the wreath on her door with the seasons, hearing delightful stories about her grandbabies, and exchanging our cultures and gardening tips.

To my wonderful niece, Libby. She fought her battle well while doing what she loved best, her teaching. May her memory live on in all those she touched during her career as a teacher and her loving family.
