She was born January 29, 1934 in Piqua to the late Albert and Alleen (Dunkle) Erhardt. She married Dr. Bernard J.

Mrs. Liddy was a 1951 graduate of Piqua Central High School. She devoted many years to serving as the office manager of her husband’s medical practice. Known for her warm and outgoing personality, she cherished time spent with family and friends and never missed an opportunity to socialize. She also found great joy in knitting, the sunshine, and seeing her children and grandchildren do the things they love. Above all, she loved her family deeply. We will always be grateful for her kindness, grace, perseverance and unwavering love and support.
