DILLON - Services for Elizabeth "Libby" Felder Cottingham, 85, will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at Main Street United Methodist Church, with burial in Riverside Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6-8 tonight at Kannaday's Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to Main Street United Methodist Church, Dillon, SC 29536. Mrs. Cottingham died January 25, 2002. Her many friends and family will lovingly remember her as many great women in one: a devoted wife, loyal mother, kind friend, talented musician, inspiring teacher, and faithful Christian. In 1999, following the death of John C. Cottingham, her husband of 56 years, she moved from their Dillon family residence in order to be closer to her five children and their families. Since that time, she resided at Springfield Place in Newberry. One of six children herself, she was the second daughter of the late Rev. C.S. Felder, a Methodist pastor, who, with his wife, Annie, ministered to South Carolina congregations for 40 years. Libby and John C. were married in Pamplico by her father in December 1942. Making their home together in Dillon, they were destined to produce a large family of their own, pursue interesting careers and avocations, serve their community church, and share almost 25 years of happy retirement. Mrs. Cottingham put together a successful professional music career spanning more than 25 years, teaching hundreds of pupils to play the piano, both young and old. All the while she contributed freely of her time, talents, and energies to numerous public school programs, church events, and social affairs. In Dillon, she was active in the Saint Cecilia Music Club, the Rose Garden Club, the Etudier Club, the Louise Best Circle of her church; and with her husband, a prolific "family tree detective"--the South Carolina Genealogical Society. She also shared her husband's devotion to their Methodist church choir. As a talented soprano and pianist, whose 1936 B.A. from Columbia College was in piano and voice, she was often called on by the choir, even into her eighties, to sing solos and serve as accompanist. She was recently honored by the church for her 56 continuous years of musicianship in the choir. In 1989, John C. had been similarly honored for his own 62 years in the choir. On December 26, 1992, their family and friends honored Libby and John C. at the church with a festive 50th anniversary celebration. Surviving are sons and daughters-in-law, Captain John R.
