Libby was a devoted follower of Christ who showed her love for the Lord by loving others. She was a social butterfly who loved deeply. Her truest love was demonstrated by her commitment to Randy and her family. Libby was a tenacious and competitive person who loved competing in numerous half and full marathons after the age of 60. Her goal was to always win her age division and she did on many occasions. These qualities are evidenced in the attitudes of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren through their passion to do their best in any endeavor.
Libby leaves a legacy of showing love to people who stretch all over the world. She has devoted her life to uplifting anyone she thought may be struggling. She was a master encourager. Libby encouraged her elementary students through loving words from the heart. She would feed, hug, and uplift anyone having a bad day or in need. She continued her ministry with daily texts that reached at least 400 people in seven countries. She sent each of these texts individually so anyone would feel free to ask for prayer. Libby was outgoing and always spread joy and positivity. She was devoted to her Lord and Saviour, her husband and her family. The best gift she gave was a firm belief that her body and mind are fully restored as she enters into the presence of Jesus Christ in Heaven.
Services to celebrate her Home Going will take place at Pomona Christian Church at 1pm on Saturday, July 19, 2025. Family and friends are invited to share memories of Libby following.
