Elizabeth (Libby) Lockett

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elizabeth Margaret (Libby) Lockett passed away at the St. Lawrence Lodge, Brockville, on Thursday, March 11, 2021, at the age of 85 years. Libby is survived by her brother Peter Lockett (Marylee); her niece Rebecca Lockett; her nephew Michael Lockett (Jane) and by her two great nephews Cole and Theo Lockett. She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends and in particular, her dear friend Donna Tweddell, who Libby referred to as her sister.

Predeceased by her parents Isa and Edgar Lockett and by her brother Donald Lockett.

Libby was raised in Kingston, Ontario where her family owned and operated Lockett’s Limited, a shoe, camera and leather goods store on Wellington Street. Libby and her Father shared a love for photography and cameras.

Libby became a professional photographer working initially in Kingston at Redmond and Higgs then relocating to Brockville to work for Lawrence Redmond Studios.

Subsequently, as manager of the Brockville Downtown Business Improvement Area, Libby had the opportunity to participate in the Provincial organization and was elected to the board of the Ontario Association of DBIA’s, an achievement she was especially proud.

Libby loved interacting with people and her retail sales positions at Dailey Leather Goods and the Hallmark Store in the Thousand Islands Mall provided the opportunity for her to share her expertise and wonderful sense of humour and quick wit.

Libby completed her career as a receptionist/assistant in accounting firms, including Beverley J. Duncan, CPA, CA, where she was a dedicated and loyal colleague and friend.

A long-time member of the First Baptist Church, she was a caring and compassionate person who was always ready to lend a helping hand.

In 1981, Libby was one of the founding members of the Brockville Women’s Network. She participated on several committees over the years and was named an honourary member.

A private family graveside service and interment will take place in the family lot at the Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston at a later date.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to Parkinson Canada will be gratefully acknowledged.

Send condolences or share a special thought of Libby on the Memory Wall above. Thank you.
