Elizabeth (Libby) Lee Ensor, 77, passed away Sunday, December 11th en route to Eagle Springs Memory Care in Walla Walla, WA following a period of declining health.

Born on September 21, 1945 in Dayton, OH to the late James Ambrose and Barbara Ann (Kearns) Finn, Libby worked as a unit clerk at the Miami Valley Hospital and as a pharmacy technician at the Barberton Citizens Hospital. Later she worked as an office assistant at the University of Akron Law Library and the Development Finance Authority of Summit County. She talked often of the wonderful friends she made at those places.

Libby's greatest pleasure was spending time with her family. She raised her children in Wadsworth, OH. A loving and nurturing mother who valued reading and a good education, she was also a caring and supportive mentor to her younger sisters. After she retired she relocated to Walla Walla, WA to be an active part of her grandsons' lives.

Surviving are daughter, Wendy Ensor of Orrville, OH; son, Michael (Lydia McDermott) Ensor of Walla Walla, WA; grandsons, Fionn Ensor-McDermott, Sawyer Ensor-McDermott and Thatcher Ensor-McDermott of WA; grandson Christian Ensor and granddaughter Kiriya Ensor of OH; sister Christy (Ron) Bryant of Marietta, GA; brother-in-law, Daniel Tighe of Wadsworth, OH; and many cherished nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Thomas Michael Finn and her sister, Lisa Marie Tighe.
