Leave a tribute for Mary Elizabeth “Lib” Ramsey Pollygus.
So sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Will be praying for the family for comfort during this time. So sorry to hear about Lib she would always have me laughing, and always made me smile . Always had a lot of fun around Lib .never a dull moment .
My aunt Lib had a contagious smile and laughter that could brighten any room. I will always remember her as a hard working lady with a big personality that consistly displayed love, commitment, and dedication to her husband, children, and grandchildren. Not many people could cook like my aunt Lib. I always looked forward to family gathering's or holidays growing up, when I could load up on her chicken & dumplins and/or Thanksgiving dressing. Her passing will create a huge void for everyone that knew and loved her.
Rest easy Great Aunt Lib.🕊️
Praying for you Chelsea and the rest of the family!
