In 1962 Bibb was in a car accident which left him paralyzed. They moved back to Lacey’s Spring were Linda Faye devoted her life to caring for her husband and daughter. In April 1967, Bibb was riding in a car involved in another accident and he passed three days later from his injuries. In 1969, Linda Faye married Bob Elliott who had a daughter, Pam.
