Elizabeth "Libby" Ann

Roark

Elizabeth “Libby” A. Roark, 34, passed away on Friday, September 25, 2026, at home, surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born on January 30, 1992, in Mishawaka, Indiana, to James Roark and Deborah (Smith) Demien. Libby attended Bremen High School and graduated with the Class of 2010. During her time there, she loved playing the French horn with the concert band and the mellophone with the marching band.

Libby was fantastic with people and had a gift for making those around her feel welcome. She worked at Chase Bank, Meijer, and the Bremen VFW, where she worked as a bartender. She had a contagious laugh that could draw others in and brighten any room.

Libby never needed anything lavish to be happy. She found joy in the simple things: being outdoors, going to the beach, reading a good mystery and fantasy novels, or settling in to watch one of her favorite series, including Harry Potter and anime.

She had a deep love for animals, especially her dogs, Chance and Bubble, and her cat, Belle, who brought her countless moments of happiness and companionship.

Libby was a member of the Bremen American Legion 191/Bremen VFW 8972 Auxiliary Post and the Oak Grove Missionary Church in Wakarusa.

She is survived by her father, James Roark; her mother, Deborah (Dan) Demien; her siblings, Samantha Roark, Heather Cleveland, Dawson Demien, and Keegan Demien; and her nephews, Ryder Roark and Dylan Cleveland.

Libby was preceded in death by her grandparents: JoAnn and Richard Smith and Barbara and Sonny Gillenwater.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026 from 1-4 pm, at the Biddle Point, the Breakfast Room, 7290 Michigan Road, Plymouth, IN 46563.

In honor of Libby please wear something with Harry Potter or Sunflowers. "And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.” -William Cullen Bryant.
