GIBSON, Irene Thelma (nee INNES) - Peacefully, at home, on March 11, 2023.
Irene was born June 9, 1925 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Herdis Petrina (Pete) and Lorne Harrison Innes.
Irene was predeceased by her beloved husband, James (Jim) Alistair Gibson.
Lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her children, James (Alison), Margaret, Paul (Nancy), Lisa (Rod), Virginia (Martin) and Stephen; as well as 6 grandchildren; and 8-1/2 great-grandchildren (there is another on the way).
Loving sister to Margaret (Henry), James and Cecil (Phyllis).
She will be missed by a whole bunch of much-loved extended family. Irene was an angel of positivity, warmth and strength to her husband and family. Her smile lit up our hearts. She was a kind and loyal friend to many.
Along with her husband, Jim, Irene was an active member of St. Timothy's Anglican Church (Agincourt), and served for many years as Treasurer and in other capacities with both the C.D. Farquarson Community Association and the Icelandic Canadian Club of Toronto (ICCT).
Although Irene's last year was challenging, she faced her struggles with courage and grace.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Timothy's Anglican Church (Agincourt), 4125 Sheppard Ave. E., Scarborough, Ontario, on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., to be followed by a Reception at the church.
