GIBSON, Carole Ann - Carole Gibson of Meaford passed away peacefully at the Chapman House Hospice in Owen Sound on Monday, March 19, 2018 at the age of 74.
Born in Toronto on January 2, 1944, Carole was the daughter of the late Pauline (nee Leslie) and Arthur 'Bud' Hodges.
She was the wife and dear friend of Kevin Rollo of Meaford. Carole was the adored, cherished and much loved mother of Duff Gibson (Jen) of Calgary, Carrie Pyatt of Wasaga Beach and Robin Parry (Todd) of Newmarket.
She was the wonderful 'GG' of Geddy, Taye, Gaige 'Single G', Rachel, Leah, Callum, Hannah and Sadie. She will be remembered fondly by her great friend Mark Pyatt and also by Linda Parry, Lennie Bolton, Doug and Sue Gibson, Kim and Darren Lawn, Leigh and Chris McGregor and their families and by her many friends who will miss her love of life dearly.
Carole was one of the first female basketball referees in Canada and was well known for being able to 'hold her own' on the court. She loved playing 'Nic In' with her friends, teaching her students in both Toronto and Owen Sound, spending winters in Texas, travelling with 'Kev' and just spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Friends and family will gather to celebrate Carole's life at her home on Saturday, May 5, 2018 from 2 until 5 p.m., where all are invited to share their favourite memories of Carole.
As your expression of sympathy, donations to the Residential Hospice of Grey Bruce 'Chapman House', where Carole and her family received tremendous love, care and support over the past few months of her journey, would be appreciated.
