GIBSON, Deirdre Gibson

Passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa on Thursday November 13, 2025 at the age of 74 years after suffering a stroke.  Loved and missed by her husband of 48 years; Robert Reimers.  Cherished mom of Lindsay Reimers & Ian Reimers. Grandmother (“Mormor”) to Zeven (10), Zoelle (5) & Nolan (5).  Dog mom to Maisie, Thor and Shadow. Predeceased by sister Margaret Gibson, sister to Dana Bachman (late Doug McIlveen, late George Bachman), Scott Alderson (late Michelle Chapman) and twin sister Lenore Moore (Brett Moore). Predeceased by her parents Henry Dane Gibson and Audrey (McCullough). She was an Auntie and “Grauntie” to many loving nieces and nephews, with many cousins near and far of her own.

Deirdre grew up in Scarborough, ON, and active in Girl Guides where she developed a taste for adventure and learned as a young girl about service before self. She was a voracious reader who often brought a half dozen books on family trips. She loved her family near and far, and believed in staying connected to extended family and friends from around the country and the globe, fostering those same values in her kids including the sense of adventure, travel, culture, and helping others. “DD” was a quick and witty social butterfly delving into many groups and activities off the side of her busy desk as a project planner and developer for social housing and seniors groups. She was the past President of three different Rotary International clubs in the Toronto area, as well as involved with the local Probus group in Uxbridge, having raised thousands of dollars for charity groups over the years, selflessly supporting those in need, which fuelled some of her overseas expeditions to communities her efforts had supported.

Relatives and friends are invited to call at Low & Low Funeral, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge on Friday December 5, 2025 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM.  A memorial service will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 59 Toronto St S, Uxbridge on Saturday December 6, 2025 at 11:00 AM with a reception to follow at the funeral home.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to Emmanuel International Canada would be appreciated by the family.  Friends are invited to share memories, express condolences or make donations www.lowandlow.ca.
