Libby shared the joy of being a loyal fan of both the Chiefs and Royals. One of the family's fondest memories was her excitement over the Royals 2015 World Series triumph.
Libby inherited a caring nature and strove to be of help to others. She was a hard worker who searched for meaning in assisting others. Just two weeks before her passing, she helped clean a stretch of highway dedicated to a departed friend.
Libby loved her Bichon Frise, Shadow. They spent many joyous hours together as she held him and played with him.
She endeavored to be a loving mother to her daughter Joey. Being a mother made her heart sing. The family remembers how happy she was to go about the daily chores of motherhood when her daughter was a baby. She was thrilled to have Joey in her life and Joey never left her heart.
In recent years Libby spent much time and energy doing things with and for her mother. She was a friend and companion after her mother’s retirement. They shared time and interest in listening to music and watching a variety of mystery programs. Her mother Marian remembers Libby’s wonderful laughter during these times of shared enjoyment.
