Born in Washington DC to John and Lucile (Shorey) Libby, Jacquie spent many of her summers in Maine and moved here early in her adult life. She had a love of travel on a shoestring budget and her passport has many stamps.An alum of the University of southern Maine, Jacquie went on to be a special education teacher and reading tutor, as well as a grant writer for many nonprofits and charities. Jacquie was a cofounder of the Maine Women's Fund, and instrumental in advocating for the poor and disabled with We Who Care. Jacquie was also a wealth of knowledge as a chair of the John Libby Family Association, and very involved with her community at St Luke’s Cathedral. Jacquie’s advocacy work, selflessness, and spiritual faith are enough to leave a legacy...."
