Gibson

Constance (Connie) Anne Gibson was born July 11, 1954 in Empress, Alta. and passed away on the morning of June 17, 2019.

Throughout her childhood, Connie moved around the province and graduated from South Central High School in Oyen, Alta. in 1972.

From there she moved to Calgary where she met Glen Gibson.

They married on July 5, 1975 and moved to Castor in 1977 to start their family.

Connie worked as an insurance administrator for AFSC until she retired in 2012.

Always needing something to do, Connie was involved with the Castor Curling Club, woodworking was an avid golfer and swimmer and occasional yogi.

She loved the Castor community and volunteered on various boards and committees, including the hospital board and the Castor & District Agricultural Society.

In more recent years she was even trying her hand at learning bridge.

When she wanted to do something, Connie went out and figured out how to do it.

Connie is survived by her mother Helen, husband Glen, four children: Matthew (Michelle), Weston, Kristin (Chris) and Andrea (Brad); four grandchildren: Caleb, Milo, Clark and Marty.

Connie is also survived by her eight siblings: Don (Carol), Pat (Donna), Frank (Yvonne), Colleen (Dave), Robyn (Allan), Cindy, Nancy (Allister), and Laurie (Wayne); brother-in-law Barry (Kathy), as well as a plethora of nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her father Gib, father-in-law Ashley, mother-in-law Bessie and brothers-in-law Roger and Lee.

Connie loved having a large family and cared about all of them deeply.

A memorial for Connie will be held at 2 p.m. on Sat., June 29 at the Castor Community Hall with light luncheon to follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital Foundation.
