ELIZABETH ANN (BETTY) RAIBLE
Elizabeth Ann (Betty) Raible, 85, of West Harrison, Indiana, died peacefully on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, at home surrounded by family. Betty was born to Benjamin and Gladys Jacob on February 12, 1938. She married her love of 64 years, Charlie Raible, on June 27, 1959. Together, she and Charlie had four children and made a lifetime of memories, which her family will cherish now that she is gone.
When she wasn’t caring for her family, she found joy in painting and crafting. She had quite the artistic spirit and could create something beautiful out of the simplest objects. She enjoyed sharing her creative passions with her grandchildren and would help them with any 4-H project they brought her way. Along with crafts, she had a knack for cooking. Each holiday was made extra special by her crafty desserts and signature dishes. Her creativity lives on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband, Charlie. Her four children, Denise Raible, Todd (Neysa) Raible, Rick (Vickie) Raible, and Brian Raible. Her nine grandchildren, Bethany (Joe) Bolser, Kyle (Meg) Harmon, Breanna (Drew) Foster, Cory (Chloe) Harmon, Allison (Brett) Ortman, Bridget Raible, Ashlie (Gino) Francesconi, and Hadyn and Paxton Raible. Eight great-grandchildren. Her sister, Joan (Ken) Gierach and brother, Robert (Linda) Jacob. And finally, her beloved cat, Toby. She was preceded in death by her sister, Nancy Engelke and her great-granddaughter, Abigail.
The family will hold a private memorial service in lieu of public services.
