Notes |
- Margaret Kathleen Dibben, 73, of East Amherst, passed away on February 22, 2021 after a lengthy illness. Born in Lewiston, NY, she was the daughter of the late James W. and Margaret C. (Biggins) Dibben.
Margaret was raised in Niagara Falls, NY, and graduated from LaSalle Senior High School in 1965 and Mt. St. Mary's School of Nursing in 1967. As a registered nurse she provided compassionate care to patients at BryLin Hospital, Buffalo Psychiatric Center, and most recently at the Stutzman Addiction Treatment Center in Buffalo, retiring in 2010.
Margaret was an outstanding cook and baker and could often be found in her kitchen making treats for family and friends. She was passionate about gardening and adored hydrangeas, marigolds, and snapdragons. Margaret completed expert crossword puzzles with ease, was a Euchre shark, and always won at Scrabble. She loved the beach, and since childhood had enjoyed family getaways to the shores of Lake Huron in Southampton, Ontario. Margaret's kindness and generosity knew no bounds and she will be deeply missed.
Margaret is survived by her children, Jennifer (fiance Zulfiqar Burney) Augstell, Kristin Klebaur-Sehrer, Matthew Klebaur, Andrew (Lisa) Klebaur, and Alexander Dibben; grandchildren, Ashley Augstell, Andrew, Ryan, Noah, Iain, Evan, Owan, and Jonathan Klebaur, Connor, Logan, and soon-to-be born Spencer Dibben; sisters, Karen (Terry) Paluzzi and Susan (Kevin) Kennedy; her former husband, Edwin Klebaur; dear friends, Sarah Samuel and Lisa Orlowski; and her beloved Carin Terrier, McKenzie. She was predeceased by her brother, James T. Dibben; and son-in-law, Robert Augstell.
At Margaret's request, there will be no visitation.
