Elizabeth Dale Gregory passed away on November 20, 2016. Libby was of the Baptist faith and had a strong relationship with God. She was an avid country music fan and loved Conway Twitty. Even though she never married or had children of her own, she was a wonderful mother to her brother's children. When she was in her twenties, she stepped up and helped feed, clothe and care for four children, ranging in ages from 8 months old to 4 years old, who had lost their own mother. She spent her life helping others and she will be rewarded in heaven for her kindness here on earth. Libby resided in Bluefield, WV her entire life.
