MEEKER | Duane “Mort” and Libby Morton of Meeker are this week’s “home of” honorees. Mort is an 11-year resident and Libby has been here 36 years. The Mortons will be married 10 years next month.
Mort is retired. He did government research for various federal agencies. Libby is a dispatcher for the Rio Blanco County Sheriff’s Office. She was the executive director for the Meeker Housing Authority for 22 years.
They have two children: daughter Liza Hunt, husband Chris and children Delaney and Cameron of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and son Alex Raley, wife Charlene and children Xander and Isabel of Highlands Ranch.
“Mort enjoys gardening and woodworking. We also like to camp, fish, read and listen to all types of music,” Libby said.
Libby loves “absolutely everything about Meeker. It’s a wonderful place to raise children and it’s gorgeous. It provides us with the atmosphere to do most of what we love to do. Love the four seasons. Love the snow.”
Finding this article about Libby and husband Mort from October was a real gift to me. Libby, Congratulations on 10 years of marriage! It was great reading about you, Mort, Alex and Liza.
