Mary Gibbs

Acts 20:35 New King James Version

35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

Mary Gibbs was born on November 8, 1947 to Eddie Gibbs and Nancy Handy in Archibald, Louisiana.

Mary was a very loving and kind person and she always helped everyone, and she will be so very missed in Rayville because she touched the lives of everyone that she met, and she truly lived by her favorite scripture Acts 20:35: “it’s better to give that to receive.”

She passed away on March 1, 2021 at the Glenwood Regional Medical Center in West Monroe, Louisiana.

Mary leaves behind her children, Tommy and Patsy Gibbs of Salisaw, Oklahoma; and “Tina” Martha Nicolas of Seattle, Washington; five grandchildren, Tanisha, Jarvis, Sintora, Janie, and John, III; eight great-grandchildren, Tarisha, Jayden, Kariel, Zechariah, Tania, QueenAnia, Tamiah, and Lucas, all of Washington; one brother, Eddie Gives of Monroe, Louisiana; two sisters, Victoria Wilson and Roxie Gibbs of Rayville, Louisiana, and son, John L. Caster, Jr., and a host of nieces and nephews.

SONG 151

He Will Call

1.Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,

Then disappears tomorrow.

All that we are can quickly fade away,

Replaced with tears and sorrow.

If a man should die, can he live again?

Hear the promise God has made:

He will call; The dead will answer.

They will live at his command.

For he will have a longing

For the work of his own hand.

So have faith, and do not wonder,

For our God can make us stand.

And we will live forever,

As the work of his own hand.

2.Friends of our God, though they may pass away,

Will never be forsaken.

All those asleep who in God’s mem’ry stay,

From death he will awaken.

Then we’ll come to see all that life can be:

Paradise eternally.
