Willie was active throughout her life in the churches she attended, often serving as church librarian, Sunday School teacher, and Bible Study leader. Her faith was the cornerstone of all that she did.

Willie’s hobbies and passions included all children, but ESPECIALLY her children and grandchildren. She was an avid reader of all genres of books, and enjoyed using the computer and internet as a tool to keep up with all the people she loved.

There will be a private graveside service for Margaret Wilma “Willie” Gibson with Rev. Don Reed and Pastor Kyle Sullivan officiating. A celebration of Willie’s life will be scheduled later this year for family and friends to gather and remember her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest that donations be made to St. Joseph’s Indian School , Chamberlain SD; Salvation Army; or First Baptist Church of Paris, KY. www.hintonturner.com
