HARTLAND- Helen Louise Libby, 85, passed away on October 23rd, 2024, at Sanfield Rehab and Living Center in Hartland. Helen was born to Freeman August Cray and Ada Maude (Barker) Cray on February 12th, 1939. Helen came from a large family of 7 children, Albert, Barbara, Phyllis, Louis, Zane, and Joan.
Helen married John S. Libby Jr. and had two children, John Libby III, and Cherri. Who are the light of her life. Helen was a homemaker and wife. She was a great mother and faithful companion to her husband; she and John would be in church every chance they could get. Helen had a wonderful relationship with God and read her bible every day at the kitchen table with a cup of tea. As she grew older, she started having trouble with her memory but could still remember every word to The Old Rugged Cross. She was incredibly strong, brave, and stood up for what she believed in, especially her loved ones. She had much love in her heart, and she will be dearly missed.
Helen is survived by her sister Joan Braley, her son John Libby III, and his wife Diane (Curtis), her daughter Cherri and her husband Darrin McDougal, her granddaughter Elora and husband Dakota Clavier, her step grandchildren, Charima and Alex, and Alex's daughters Ellie, and Delilah. The family would like to give special thanks to Sanfield Rehab and Living Center for taking wonderful care of Helen. So many said they loved her, and she loved them too. They are all like family. A graveside service will be held at Libby Cemetery in Harmony, ME on November 1st, 2024, at 11am.
