Mrs. Gibson was born September 6, 1924 in Mississippi. She was a hard worker and a veritable
encyclopedia of folklore and old hymns and songs. She loved flowers, the color red and Wheel of Fortune.
Although her family will miss her, we rejoice that she now lives with Jesus in Heaven; she has been
reunited with her children and grandchild; and after 90 years of longing, she has been held in the arms of her
young mother once again. We praise God for her life and what she meant to each one of us.
The family thanks our extended family and many friends for your prayers, visits, calls and concern.

for the wonderful way you cared for our mother.
