Elizabeth Inglis (Hale) Withers was born on June 6, 1936 in Waukon to Eloise (Inglis) Hale and Nathan C. Hale. Libby was educated in Waukon Public Schools and graduated from high school in 1954. She then attended Colorado University, where she received a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing in 1958. It was here that she met her future husband, Bill, who was also at the university pursuing his medical degree. They were set up on a blind date and had been married almost 62 years at the time of her death. William Roger Withers and Elizabeth Inglis Hale were married in Waukon on June 24, 1958, at First Presbyterian Church in Waukon, where Libby had also been baptized and confirmed. They completed Bill’s internship back in Colorado, and Libby served as a Visiting Nurse for the city and county of Denver. Bill then volunteered to serve as a medical officer in the United States Army at Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Washington. It was here that their first child, William Nathan (Bill Nate) was born in 1959. Bill and Libby moved back to Waukon in 1961, where Bill joined doctors Clark Rominger and Louis Bray in a private practice that lasted over 30 years, after which he worked 20 years in the Gundersen Healthcare System. It was here that Bill and Libby’s family grew as James Hale, Elizabeth Jane, and John Rodger were born. Libby spent her entire life nurturing others and raising her children while supporting Bill in his practice. She was involved in various church, community, and family activities. She was also very proud of her connection to the Hale’s stores in Waukon and Decorah that were started by Libby’s father, Nate, and his siblings. Libby is survived by her beloved husband of 61 years, Bill, and their four children: Bill Nate (Linda) of Waukee, Iowa, Jim (Jenifer) of Ames, Iowa, Jane (Chris) Wilhelm of Valrico, Florida, and John (Michelle) of Granger, Iowa.
