Clinton Harold Libby, Jr.

Clint was born February 19, 1948, in Marquette, a son of Clinton and Mary (Cook) Libby, Sr. He was a lifelong Marquette area resident and graduate of Marquette Senior High School, Class of 1965. Following graduation, he had a brief employment with Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company before beginning a long career with the State of Michigan at the Marquette Branch Prison, retiring in 1999 as maintenance supervisor. Being quite handy and resourceful, he enjoyed repurposing old items into useful items. His ability to fix and build just about anything led to his building his own home and fixing many cars and rebuilding many engines. In later years, Linda and Clint traveled to craft shows where they sold his stained glass and she sold her ceramic creations. Together, the couple loved to square dance and line dance. He was also known for his enjoyment of stock car racing at the Sands Speedway and his willingness to go above and beyond in helping others. Clint was a devoted and active member of Calvary Lutheran Church.

Clint is survived by his wife, Linda (Lawson) Libby; his children, Geri Mason of Belleville, MI and Dean (Mary) Libby of Marquette; his four grandchildren, Hunter Mason, Fisher Libby, Sidney Libby and Alaura Welch; sisters, Donna Webber, Christine Powers, Bonnie (Ron) Ivey, and Tina (Tom) Driscoll; a brother, Glenn (Sandy) Libby; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Richard Libby; a sister, Debbie Libby.

The family will receive relatives and friends at Calvary Lutheran Church on Friday, October 27, beginning at 11:00 am until the time of service at 12:00 noon. Rev. Norman Greve will officiate. A reception will follow in the church fellowship hall.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Trillium House, 1144 Northland Drive, Marquette, MI 49855.
