Betty Liebl, 91, of Crouse Community Center, formerly of Nelson, died peacefully in her sleep on the morning of Thursday, June 15, 2023. She was born in Würzburg, Germany, on April 11, 1932, and immigrated to the United States aboard the S.S. United States in 1954. She met her husband of 40 years, Fred Liebl, in 1955 and they were married the following year. They made their home in Nelson where she lived for over 58 years. She was a prolific knitter in the European style, and provided countless hats, mittens, socks, and sweaters to children and adults alike.

The family is forever grateful to all the caring staff of Crouse Community Center and her circle of friends who enabled her to remain at her home as long as possible.
