  Cynthia Elizabeth "Libby" Groover 
   
  C. Elizabeth Groover LEBANON Cynthia Elizabeth 'Libby' Groover, 97, died 
  peacefully in her sleep, March 14, 2010. Born in Grafton, W.Va., October 21, 
  1912, to Floyd and Bessie Hertzog, she worked as a youngster in her father's 
  general store where she said she learned the invaluable life lessons of 
  learning the proper way to scoop ice cream and how to make change. After her 
  family moved to Clairton, she graduated from Clairton High School in 1930. When 
  her family moved to Lewisburg, she met Robert W. Groover, an engineering 
  student at Bucknell University, who courted her in his handmade sailing canoe 
  on the Susquehanna River. Because students weren't allowed to be married, the 
  couple eloped, with their families' blessing, to Leesburg, Va., and married 
  July 12, 1937. Upon Robert's graduation, the couple moved in 1939 to Lebanon, 
  where he was hired by Bethlehem Steel, in whose employ he remained for forty 
  years, retiring as General Manager in 1980. He died July 3, 1987. Libby was a 
  member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and a Life Member of Chapter 115, 
  Order of the Eastern Star. Elizabeth is survived by a sister, Mary Rowe of 
  Lewisburg; and three sons, Robert Donald and wife, Peggy, Pittsburgh, Michael 
  Allen and wife, Donna and granddaughter, Elizabeth, Barrington, N.H., and David 
  Lee and partner, C.C. Conner, Houston, Texa.. Until her death, she still 
  enjoyed the New York Times crossword puzzle, an English countryside murder 
  mystery, and any televised golf game. The family would like to thank Ellen 
  Patches for her unceasing daytime companionship and hearty breakfasts for 
  Elizabeth in the last year. Services will be private and held at a later date 
  in Lewisburg. Contributions in Elizabeth's memory may be made to the Mt. Gretna 
  Volunteer Fire Company, Mt. Gretna, PA., 17064.
