Lila was born March 26, 1930 in Luling to the late Gilbert Arthur Newby and Rosa Elzada (Pickard) Cencebaugh. She married H.M. “Mack” Hibbitts May 12, 1950 in Breckenridge and he preceded her in death March 3, 1986. To know Meme was to love her. She loved watching her grandchildren rodeo and play sports of any kind. She would travel to the end of the world to watch them and knew better than any ref around. If you ever pulled up to the the house in the summer you more than likely saw Meme with a folded paper towel Bobby pinned to her hair and a hoe in her hand, hard work was her favorite thing. She would tell you she never worked a day in her life. She never met an animal she didn’t love. She may have inherited a few here and there. Meme was loved by all and will forever be missed.
