Mrs. Liebe was a member of the Church of God and read her Bible daily. She became unable to read to herself later into her sickness and as her children knew how important this was to her, they made sure to read to her, so she didn't miss a day. Mrs. Liebe was a wonderful Christian woman who overcame much in her life. Through the loss of her spouses, one child, and two sisters, Mrs. Liebe knew what it was to lose those she loved and knew what it meant to cherish those she had left. As an amazing "Mama", "Grandma" and sister, Mrs. Liebe was devoted to spending time with her family. She was sacrificial in providing for her home and her children and later in life she went back and obtained her bachelor's degree of Science in Nursing and was a state registered nurse, giving aide to so many throughout her career. In her spare time, Mrs. Liebe enjoyed reading classic novels, antique shopping, baking the best Red Velvet cake you could put in your mouth, going for ice cream, and holding a good political debate with her son-in-law. Her infectious character and huge heart will forever be remembered.
