   Libby was born in Pulaski, Virginia on December 17, 1937, one of twelve children born to the late Emory and Eliza Ward Nixon. As a child, she attended a one room school house for eight years, receiving her education alongside many of her brothers and sisters. She faithfully accompanied her Daddy whenever and wherever he preached God’s word, and developed her passion in life of singing gospel songs while playing either the guitar, piano, or accordion. Eventually she served as pianist at Faith Pentecostal Holiness Church for 28 years. Employed several years as a store clerk and factory worker, she spent most of her life as a homemaker and mother to her four children.

She also leaves to cherish her memory her siblings, two brothers, Emory “Bill” Nixon, Jr. and James “Jim” Nixon; and seven sisters, Betty Corley, Janie McClenney, Glenna Kiser, O’Neta Farmer, Shirley Griggs, Barbara Paine, and Sherry Carpenter.
