Theresa Marie Gibbs

Theresa Marie Gibbs, 72, passed away on Feb. 8, 2018, in Longmont, Colo.

She was born in Fayetteville, Ark., to Henry Lafayette Tuck Jr. and Dorian Dewan. She began her education at the University of Arkansas and graduated from the University of Texas, San Antonio.

She was a devoted mother and a doting grandmother, who was affectionally known as GiGi. Her entire family and many close friends meant everything to her. She knew the important things in life were not material objects but the people that she loved and cared for.

She held several jobs inside and outside the home while her children where young, but it was not until later that she found her true professional calling. She was the sole proprietor of Corazon, a home accent store on the square in Fayetteville, Ark., for six years. She traveled to Latin America to discover and bring back unique works of art to provide her clientele. She was also a patron of the arts in Fayetteville. On many occasions, she sponsored events for Ozark Guidance and was a supporter of the Nadine Baum Studio. She also was very active with the Arts Live Theater, served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children and participated in worship services at the local women’s correction facility. She made the world a better place and will be truly missed by those she touched by her many caring actions.

She is survived by her two sons, Grey Houston Gibbs of Longmont and Grant Allen Gibbs of Prairie Grove, Ark.; one grandson, Patrick Houston Gibbs of Longmont; two granddaughters, Emma Marie Gibbs of Longmont and Morgan Elizabeth Gibbs of Prairie Grove.
