Nellie C. (Chapman) Liebig

SOUTH GRANVILLE: Nellie C. Liebig, 95, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, in the Orchard Nurs­ing and Rehabilitation Cen­ter in Granville.

Born on Aug. 24, 1920, in Truthville, she was the daughter of late Delbert and Florence (Thomas) Chapman.

She married Donald B. Li­ebig in 1939.

She graduated as saluta­torian from Granville High School in 1938.

She retired in 1985 as secretary in the business office at the Mary J. Tan­ner School. This is a posi­tion that she loved and was greatly proud of.

Nellie was over a 50 year member of the South Gran­ville Congregational Church and served as organist and pianist for over 40 years.

She had a deep love for music and was a wonderful piano player and shared that talent with her family and singing hymns and old music with them. She knew many songs by heart and could play them by memory.

She lived her life with great dedication to God and her church. This dedica­tion made her a truly amaz­ing woman who put other needs before her own. She had a great love for her fam­ily and will be missed by all who knew her.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her hus­band, Donald, who passed away in 1980, one sister, Al­ice Chapman Pepper and brothers, Wilbur Chapman, William Chapman and two infant brothers.

She is survived by four children, Donna A. Bar­tholomew (Bob), Karen A. Bradley Linda M. Smith (Roger) and Gary S. Liebig (Debbie); nine grandchil­dren, several great-grand­children, great-great-grand children and several nieces and nephews and her sis­ter-in-law, Patricia W. Chapman.

There will be no calling hours and a memorial ser­vice will be announced at a later date.

The family would like to thank those who gave her such loving care during her stay at the Orchard Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
