After 84 years, 9 months and 27 days on this Earth, Libby was tired and ready to go home.

Elizabeth Ann (nee Ketchem) Brant, "Libby" died on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. She was born on December 5, 1939, in Odon, Indiana to the late Everett and Phyllis (nee Williams) Ketchem. On June 6, 1959, she married Donald Brant. Along with Donald and her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Robert (Evelyn) Ketchem, Curtiss (Delphine) Ketchem; and sister, Janet Roberts.  She was the last of her siblings to leave; what a wonderful reunion it will be.
