Arnold Everett Libby

SCARBOROUGH – Arnold Everett Libby, 89, passed away peacefully at his home in Scarborough on June 1, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on Oct. 19, 1935, in Biddeford. Arnold was the son of Warren E. Libby and Greta I. Moulton. A lifelong resident of Scarborough, Arnold built a life rooted in family, hard work, and community.

He is survived by his six devoted children: Theresa (Dan) Litchfield, Bradley Libby, Suellen Litchfield, Edward (Teresa) Libby, Deanne (Douglas) Norton, and Skip Libby; as well as his cherished grandchildren: Travis (Michelle) Blake, Jesse (Lorena) Litchfield, Lauren (Arthur) Thompson, Ryan Norton, Cory Libby, Shane (Christine) Libby, Kara Norton, Jenna Libby, and Lydia Libby. Arnold was the proud great-grandfather of sixteen great-grandchildren: Brittany, Amanda, Jordan, Seth, Danyele, Marissa, Maya, Abbie, Evelyn, Amelia, Hannah, Callie, William, Walker, Samuel, and Chloe; and two great-great-granddaughters: Serafina and Mackenzie.

He is lovingly remembered by his half brother, Dickie Libby; his half sister, Becky Gregoire; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Arnold was predeceased by his parents; his beloved wife of 72 years, Evelyn; his granddaughter, Heather Blake; his grandson, Andrew Libby; and his dear aunt, Almeda Urquhart.

Known for his strong work ethic and generous spirit, Arnold worked as a truck driver for several local businesses, including the family-run Urquhart’s Hardware and Oil and Portland Glass. He was proud to be named Truck Driver of the Year in 1995. In addition to his professional work, Arnold served as a volunteer with Engine 7 Fire and Rescue and was a police relief officer for the Town of Scarborough during the 1970s. A familiar face in the community, he enjoyed morning coffee with friends at Bette’s Place before heading off to work.

In his leisure time, Arnold found joy in the outdoors—boating, snowmobiling, hunting, and spending summers with family at Wytopitlock Lake. He was especially fond of working on the family property on Millbrook Road, raising ponies, tending gardens, and taking drives on his many John Deere tractors. His Lionel train room brought him endless joy, especially when shared with his grandchildren.

Arnold and Evelyn also treasured their summers camping at Wassamki Springs, where they made lifelong friends and countless memories.

Per Arnold’s wishes, a private graveside service will be held on what would have been his and Evelyn’s 73rd wedding anniversary, as they are laid to rest together.

Arnold’s legacy of love, laughter, and hard work lives on in the many lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
