Elizabeth Dibble

Pine Bush, NY

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Elizabeth Dibble, a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt. Elizabeth was born on September 3,1936 in the Bronx, New York to James and Agnes Hogan. In her early 20s she and her family moved upstate to Pine Bush, where she lived for the remainder of her life. 

Elizabeth married Donald Dibble in 1962 and they had three children. After her husband’s passing in 1969,  she raised her children on her own. She was the matriarch of the family and was loved by all who knew her. 

Her memory lives on for her generosity, kindness, her sense of humor, and how she could fix and build just about anything. She enjoyed the simple things in life and was happy in her home and being surrounded by family. She will be remembered for many things, including being faithful in her daily prayers, making meals for her family, her love for her pets, being outdoors, and making her “famous” cheesecake. 

Elizabeth remained strong and faithful to the Lord, and fought until she was called home to be with her Savior. 

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me…And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.”

2 Timothy 4:7-8
