Judith Ann Gibson
Feb. 7, 1946 – June 23, 2026

Judy Gibson, of Leslieville, passed away June 23, 2026, at the Rocky Mountain House Health Care Centre.

She was born Feb. 7, 1946, at Swift Current, Sask., to Elsie and Herbert Peterson.

Judy moved with her family to Leslieville when she was in Grade 11. On July 4, 1966, she married her best friend, Danny Gibson. They had more odd jobs than a fugitive, and lived at Red Deer, Stettler, Innisfail and Condor before they settled back at their favourite place in the world, Leslieville, where in 1979 they established the Western Star newspaper. She had great family instincts and was a loyal friend to many.

Judy is survived by her husband of 60 years, Danny; daughters: Susan, Jenny and Charlotte; her grandchildren: Megan, Ellis, Reese, Cash and Cohen; brother Donald Peterson; sisters: Carol Landon and Jean Wolney. 

She is predeceased by her parents Herbert and Elsie, grandson Jacob Harden, and sister Sharon Moch.
A funeral service will be held at the Bethel Union Church in Leslieville, on Saturday, July 4, at 1 p.m., with Pastor Iran Pedraza officiating. Interment will take place at the Leslieville Cemetery. Lunch will follow. 

If friends or family desire, memorial contributions can be made to the Rocky Public Library.

Rocky and Sylvan Lake Funeral Homes and Crematorium, your Golden Rule Funeral Homes, entrusted with the arrangements.
