She met the man who would become her beloved husband Mickey, while he was stationed in Montgomery during his service in the United States Air Force, The two were married on April 7, 1956. Lib worked as secretary to two State 4-H Club leaders during her husband’s years in pharmacy school at the University of Georgia. After returning to Augusta, she worked in Fort Gordon's aviation section at Bush Field until the birth of her second son, Russell Morgan Crouch, who was born on the very same night that Dr. Crouch graduated from the Medical College of Georgia. Following this milestone, Lib devoted herself to her family as a homemaker, creating a home filled with love and warmth. Her compassionate nature extended far beyond the walls of her home, as she was actively involved in her church, her son's schools and her community.
