She is survived by 5 children, Kevin Alexander Gibson (Catherine Gibson), James Steven Gibson (Nancy Peake), Cheryl Ann Martelli, Shawn Lee Mach (Joseph Mach) and Richard Allan Wilson (Teri Wilson).

After graduation from Greenbriar High School in Lewisburg, she and four of her best friends accepted jobs at the FBI and moved to Washington, DC. A devoted wife and family matriarch, with a lifelong religious conviction, her strength was fueled by family, friends, and faith. Her love, kindness, and generosity were captured in personalized designs she crafted into beautiful quilts for her loved ones and community outreach volunteer work. She retired, after 30 years from Duron Paints & Wallcoverings, and moved to The Villages retirement community, in Lady Lake, Florida, where she was an active member of St. George’s Episcopal Church. Her departure leaves a void in all the hearts of those she touched.
On Tuesday, Feb. 20, the Witzke Funeral Home in Columbia, MD, will hold the viewing at 10 a.m. followed by the memorial service at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in memorial to Cornerstonehospice.org.
