Mrs. Neibert was a hard worker all her life, always working various jobs to make a living and earn money for her family.  Her jobs included working in a spoon factory, hostess for the restaurant Lettuce Bowl, and working at LD Caulk to name a few.

In her earlier years, she enjoyed painting china and ceramics, needlework, sewing, and gardening.  However, her passion in life, besides her family, was cooking and baking.  She was so good and well known for her food, that she had a side business selling her baked goods.  Two of her best and sought after foods were her chicken and dumplings and cole slaw.  When asked about her secret ingredients for either, she would reply, the secret ingredient is love.  Mrs. Neibert was well loved by all and will be forever missed.
