LIBBY -- Ethel Mae Libby, March 13, 1923 to November 11, 2003. Please don't be saddened by our mother's death. A heartless disease called Alzheimer's took her from us years ago. She and we have had to live with the pain of memories that were clouded and ultimately lost. Don't shed tears; just be happy for our mother is finally free. Instead take comfort in remembering a strikingly handsome woman who in her twenties had jet black hair and the bluest eyes you've ever seen. She stood tall along side her husband even when he moved her out West to Albuquerque from her hometown of Springfield Mo. In 1944. She learned to hunt and fish with Ralph and even bit her tongue in silence when he set the kitchen dish towels on fire in attempts to rid his game of pin feathers after having a few cold beers. She also learned how to shoot trap quite well and endured the long hours dad spent loading his own shells and cleaning his guns. Know how much she enjoyed their close friends that would come to the house on Friday nights and spread the old green army blanket on the kitchen table to play cards and tell jokes to relieve the stress of their daily lives. Remember what a great cook she was and that she always made her pie dough from scratch. When asked for the recipe, she would say, well you're going to have to watch me and write it down. She was good at sewing dresses for her little girls and herself on her old singer sewing machine. Understand the pride she took in her career on Sandia Base for those many years and all the outstanding service awards she received. She had a green thumb despite dads hunting dogs always jumping into her fence contained flower beds and crushing something that had yet to bloom or digging it up to burry a ripe old dog bone there. Know that she cherished her four daughters and brought them up to be wonderful caring mothers in their own right. She thought the world of her grandchildren and great grandchildren and bragged on them every chance she could. And least we forget how mom loved her son in laws, the only sons she would ever have in this life. When you think of our mother Ethel, please smile and cut a pretty bunch of wild flowers from your yard to set on your kitchen table, mom would like that. We will always remember you mom, all our love your girls, Linda, Peggy, Becky & Jo. Ethel was preceded in death by an infant sister, her parents, Oliver and Sarah Crosswhite and two brothers, Keith and Lee and her husband of thirty six years, Ralph. She is survived by her brothers, Carl Crosswhite and Dr. Joe Crosswhite and by her sister, Nell Jersak Her daughters: Linda Soros and husband Sam, Peggy Case and husband Fred, Becky Horton, Jo Brown and husband Damon.
