Maribel (Duff) West

Maribel (Duff) West, age 77, of Camdenton was born Jan. 11, 1942, at home in rural Buffalo, Mo. She passed away March 9, 2019, in Windsor Estates in Camdenton, Mo.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rolla and Hazel (Morton) Duff.

She is survived by four children: Tim West and wife, Wendy, of Cross Timbers; Kathy Stahl of Urbana; Judy Perkins and husband, John, of Bolivar; and Gina West of Camdenton; six grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Jerry and wife, Starr Duff, of Tunas; and one niece, Amber Holland, and husband, Chad, of Springfield.

Maribel was a graduate of Tunas High School. A member of Cherry Grove Baptist Church, she played piano for the church and many other occasions.

A beautiful seamstress by which many people were blessed with her talents, she never had to seek employment. Employers were all seeking her. She was unmistakably one of the most talented workers at her place of employment and known all over the Camdenton Lake Area as the lady in charge at the lumber yard.

She was a true blessing as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt.

She left a lasting impression on all her children that will never be forgotten, as being the most caring, compassionate, selfless mother you could have. She will be deeply missed, always loved and never forgotten.
