Elizabeth “Libby” Dulac  (1947 – 2023)
	
Libby Dulac was born in Pearly, England and immigrated to Canada with her husband Claude in 1973. They spent a year in Mayo, where their son Marcel was born, and then moved to Haines Junction in 1975. Libby ran the Anglican Sunday School and started the Thrift Shop with Barb Henkel. After her daughter Claire was born, Libby became a very successful and prolific landscape artist working in oils and watercolour.((“Libby Dulac.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 24 March 2023.)) In 1992, Libby’s design for the “Yukon Quarter” was chosen to celebrate Canada’s 125 Anniversary. The design on the twenty-five cent piece shows a glacier in the Mount St. Elias Mountains. Her 14’ x 5’ triptych of the Lowell Glacier is on display at the Haines Junction Convention Centre.((“Libby’s life as an artist.” 2021 website: https://dulacgallery.com/libbys-life.))

Libby’s life was full with her passion for God, her joy of hospitality, and her love of her garden and the Haines Junction landscape. Claude passed in 2015, and Libby took on his work as a lay reader in the Catholic Church.((“Libby Dulac.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 24 March 2023.))
