Libby was born February 11, 1940 in Bloomington, Illinois, daughter of Jack and Madeline (Seammen) Andrews and step-father, Frank Bear.

Libby had worked for Wonder Bread where she met Kenneth Meade. They were married June 10, 1975 in Cambridge, Illinois.

She had been a member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Buffalo and was a longtime member of St. Anthony’s where she was baptized as a young woman.

Libby was completely devoted to her family, lovingly hosting family gatherings and monthly birthday dinners. She truly enjoyed caring for them. She was an avid reader of paperback books. Libby’s caring nature also brought many stray cats and animals to their home!
