Libbi Marsha Bendickson was born January 4, 2019 in Le Mars, Iowa, the daughter of Brian and Alyssa (Ahrens) Bendickson. Libbi was baptized on March 24 ^th at the Presbyterian United Church of Christ in Le Mars where she was an "unofficial" member of the choir.

Libbi loved everyone she met, all kinds of music, and books. She had a contagious smile and giggle. Libbi was loved and protected by her furry big sister, Freya, and spiky brother, Sonic. We think of Libbi as our comet, she burned with a light and love so bright but was gone too soon.

She will be greatly missed by her parents, Brian and Alyssa Bendickson of Le Mars; her grandparents: Wade and Bobbi Bendickson of Northwood, IA, and Michael and Lisa Ahrens of Kirksville, MO; her great grandparents: Bob and Verla Perry of Northwood, IA, Shirley Nove of Marion, IA, and Carolyn Marsh of Clear Lake, IA; her uncle and aunt: Adam and Elizabeth Ahrens of Lee's Summitt, MO and their daughter, Clara; and many great aunts and uncles.

She was welcomed into heaven by her great grandparents: Jim Ahrens, Wayne Nove, Jeannette and Harlan Bendickson; as well as a special family friend, Marsha Giffin.
