Sally Gibson Obituary
SALLY JO GIBSON
June 8, 2019
Sally Jo Gibson, 84, passed away Saturday, June 8, 2019 at Penrose Main Hospital. Sally was the wife of Frederick S. Gibson. They shared 65 years of marriage together.
Born Sally Jo Levin in Salina Kansas to Frances May and Carl Levin. She married her husband, Fred Gibson on February 14, 1954. From their union were born four boys: Rick (Andrea), Mark, Chris, and Todd (Rhena).
In 1964 Sally and Fred moved to Colorado Springs, where they would live most of their lives. She was a beloved wife, mother, nana, and friend. She worked numerous jobs in her lifetime, but her greatest joy was her family, especially her two grandchildren, Tristan and Skylar.
She is survived by her family, along with her sister Nancy, her brother Chuck, and her dear friend, Bobbie Stribling.
Sally wished to be cremated and a small family gathering celebrating Sally's life will follow.
Memorial donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Penrose-St.Francis Health Foundation.

Sally's smile was always the life of a family get together! We know she's at peace, now, but we miss her dearly! Our sincere condolences go out to her family.
Sally loved to make and share her desserts.

Sally always loved to make desserts, such as birthday cakes for her sons and family members, pies for Thanksgiving, and elegant layered creations for Christmas. She was famous for showing up to gatherings with at least two or three different desserts. I think for Sally, desserts were one of the ways she shared her love. We will cherish these memories of her.

Sally Jo Gibson was a force to be reckoned with, armed with motherhood and a love for her family that is truly rare in this world. She was a woman with impeccable taste and class who let her integrity guide her in all things. She was a beautiful woman, fierce and inspiring, her life and contributions were meaningful. She lived a meaningful life. I know that she takes with her the only thing that matters in the end - the love and respect of the good people she has known.
