It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Libby Baker passed away earlier this morning. Her loss is felt profoundly by all who knew her, and we are holding her family close in our thoughts during this difficult time. Libby was someone whose presence brought warmth, kindness, and sincerity to every space she entered. Whether through her friendships, her dedication to her community, or the quiet strength she carried through life, she touched many hearts in ways that will not be forgotten.

At this moment, details are still unfolding, and the family is taking the time they need to reflect, grieve, and support one another. When an obituary becomes available, I will be sure to share it so that everyone who wishes to honor Libby’s memory will have the opportunity to do so. An obituary will offer a fuller picture of her life—her accomplishments, her passions, the people she loved, and the many ways she contributed to the lives around her.

In the meantime, I ask that you keep Libby’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Losing someone dear is never easy, and the comfort offered by a caring community can make an immeasurable difference. Please join me in surrounding her loved ones with compassion, strength, and peace as they navigate the days ahead. Thank you for holding Libby and her family in your hearts. May her memory continue to shine through the stories we share and the lives she touched.
