Libby attended Eastern University where she met her husband, and lifelong best friend.

Libby was energetic, creative, resourceful, frugal, physically strong, and mentally determined. She worked many different jobs/careers in her lifetime including as a Biology Teacher, a small business owner, an IRS contractor, a U.S. Mail carrier, a school bus driver, and finally as a real estate broker. Libby also ran for Pennsylvania State Representative!

But her love and passion were designing, building and landscaping many homes with her husband Dave.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, August 23, 2024 at 4 p.m. at the Meredith Chapel of Sunnyside Nursing Home with the Rev. Dr. Cynthia Long officiating. This day is special, as it would have been Libby and Dave’s 66th wedding anniversary.
