Libby had a warm and caring personality. She had a passion for cooking and baking and shared it with her friends, family and her customers.

Libby's best friend, Darlene (Dee) Smith, was a significant presence in her life and will miss her dearly. 

Libby was preceded in death by her parents, Bobby Lee Keen and Ann Murphy Keen, and her brother Robert Glenn Keen, and leaves behind cherished memories with her family and friends.
