In addition to being a devoted homemaker, Neva was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, who enjoyed giving individualized gifts to family and friends. Everyday life was special as she thoughtfully showered others with attention and love.
Neva and Vernon lived in several countries and enjoyed traveling at home and abroad. They were the ideal couple. They always exhibited the values of a loving Christian home and served as mentors to family, friends, and acquaintances. Everyone felt accepted, loved, and encouraged in the Gibbs home.
The family is rejoicing knowing that the “ideal couple” is with the Lord—once again united.
