Mastodon Post
Libby (in Brattleboro, she really didn't need a last name) was a fixture around town. I used to see her here in the late 1980s and she was a resident of Brattleboro by 1990. From talking with a lot of people since she died in December 2025, it appears folks knew her by sight because she walked around town a lot or they didn't notice her at all because her frequent presence made her part of the community's ambience, with very little in between. A few local people knew of her acting career. Nearly everyone here didn't.
I have posted a good deal of information about Libby at the genealogy website, FamilySearch.org, and this article pulls many details together very nicely.
Libby was something like a Brattleboro institution and it is hard to imagine the town without her.
[This link likely has a limited life expectancy and it would be a good idea to follow it sooner rather than later.]
