BETTY AUDEAN DEFIBAUGH, 90, of West Freedom passed away late Tuesday morning (12-19-17) at her residence of natural causes. Born in Perry Two., Clarion Co. on August 29, 1927, she was daughter of late Joseph Edward and Birdie Rachel McCall Smith. She was married in 1946 to John A. Defibaugh who passed away in 1972.
