Libby A. Krasoczka (nee Skiba), age 87, of Hobart passed away Sunday, December 10, 2023, at home surrounded by her family. She was born on February 12, 1936, in Chicago, Illinois to the late Leo and Clara Skiba. Libby was an incredibly talented artist, fishing expert, master handywoman extraordinaire, loved her pool time, and a free spirit. She always seemed to be involved in something exciting. When there was snow on the ground, she would kick her children out of the house telling them to go make snow angels. She was a dedicated member of the Glen Park Izaak Walton League and plunged into the freezing waters there with the Polar Bear Club. She utilized her artistic talent as a member of the Hobart Art League and the Crown Point Art League. Libby was the co-owner of the Club Bar in downtown Hobart and Flowerama in the Southlake Mall. Above all, she loved her family and dedicated her life to taking care of them.

She is survived by her husband, Eugene Krasoczka; sons, Tony (Irene Vereb) Krasoczka, David Krasoczka; daughter, Pamela Krasoczka; grandchildren, Courtney (Jason) Quigg, George Krasoczka, Michael (Leslie) Krasoczka; great grandchildren, Caden, Tristan, and Oaklyn; and of course, special furry friend, Gypsy.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Clara Skiba; son, Brian Krasoczka; daughter-in-law, Martha Krasoczka; brothers, Hank Skiba, George Skiba, and Clarence Skiba; sister, Bonnie Geren.
