Remembering Libby Steadham
On Sunday morning, August 20th, with her loving husband, Steve, by her side, Libby Steadham, a vendor with our market passed away after a fight with cancer which she never gave up.
Libby and her husband lived in the home that she designed on a large property on Core Sound in Gloucester, along with the abundant wildlife of the beautiful downeast area. She especially loved watching the foxes that lived there too, and in fact named her farm, Fox Haven Farm in their honor.
This spot was her dream; she was living the good life: gardening, writing, painting, beekeeping, cooking, and spreading smiles and kindness to everyone who crossed her path. She sold her cookbook, “Seasonal Cooking from the Garden in Coastal North Carolina” at the market along with her hand sewn hearts and hand painted notecards, honey, blueberries, and other products from her creative talents and from her deep connection with plants and animals that made their home with her and Steve.
She lived a very intentional and spiritual life, making choices to care for the earth, for people, for animals, and for plants with gentleness, with genuine caring, and with deep heartfelt joy and kindness. Her conversations with shoppers and vendors at the market left them with a sense that there is goodness in the world, and that she was a humble purveyor of that goodness.
Libby’s transition has left all who knew her with much sadness, but she leaves her shining example of a life well-lived to which we can all aspire and a community blessed by her presence in it. In her words, “Live well, dear ones, there is goodness galore!”
Condolences may be sent to Steve Steadham, 404 Pigott Rd, Gloucester, NC 28528
With heartfelt love,
