Elizabeth Beale Harrison Monroe died on May 9 at her home in Bethesda, MD, surrounded by her family. Her courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease served to remind those who loved her of the vibrant and spirited woman she remained ever at heart. Libby was bom on June 2, 1919, in Hopewell, Virginia. Her parents were David A. Harrison, Jr., and Elizabeth Davis Harrison. Libby met her future husband, broadcast journalist Bill Monroe, while attending Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans.
