[Nfbofsc] Nancy Gibson Obituary

[Thom Spittle]

Thanks Dale, but I was just passing the information along.

Did you know that Nancy Gibson broke the color barrier?

 

Here's how.

 

When I worked at the camp, selling T Shirts at the State Convention, the
first year, all we had in large sizes were white. Nancy requested the larger
sizes contain more color choices. Over the next few years, she and other
convention goers, bought several of the colorful, larger shirts.

 

I think Nancy bought a half dozen over that time.

 

At the funeral, I told this little story to John. He told me that Nancy wore
one of those T Shirts days before her death, and loved wearing them.

 

Rest in Peace, Nancy.

 

Thom
