Raymond John Nibbe was born on May 30, 1914. His parents were John and Mary (Nonnemacher) Nibbe. Raised in Scranton, Ray attended Scranton Public School and graduated in 1933. He worked for the Scranton Equity until 1938 when he went to work for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. He spent the next 38 years of his life as a Standard Bulk Agent. He appreciated all his customers and each received excellent service.
1938 was a special year for Ray as he was untied in marriage to the love of his life, Olive Knutson. They made their home in Scranton and to this union were born two children, Rodney and Sharon. Ray was a devoted father and husband. Family outings included church picnics, movies, fishing, hunting, vacations and reunions.
Ray was a very civic minded person. He served as mayor of Scranton for 42 years. He also served as fire chief, many church boards and several county and state boards. He was an active member of the Golden Miners and delivered meals for them. He was a life member of Peace Lutheran Church.
The Nibbe family has been involved in the Scranton community since 1908 when his parents homesteaded in the area. Ray and Olive continued in their footsteps and now their Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren carry on the tradition.
Survivors include his son Rodney (Maxine) of Mandan; His son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Duane and Karen Pierce of Scranton; His Grandchildren Robb (Debbie) Pierce Scranton; Rhonda (Dan) Ehlis Dickinson; Shawn (Apryl) Pierce Scranton; Allison (Tim) Bridges Maple Grove, MN; and Sara (Cole) Turnbow Eagan,MN. Great Grandchildren include Katie Pierce, Lauren Ehlis, Kaylee, Hudson and Blake Pierce, Campbell Bridges and Ian Turnbow.
