Margaret E. Gibson

Margaret (Marge) Gibson (Irving), 92, passed away September 5, surrounded by her family. She was born in Kingston, Nova Scotia in 1928 and moved to Wellesley at age 3. She attended Chandler Business School in Boston. After graduating, she worked for real estate developer, Martin Cerel, running the mortgage department. She met the love of her life, Russ Gibson and married in 1952. After summering in Barnstable for many years, the family finally moved from Natick to Barnstable full time in 1969.

After being widowed at 59, she opened Bay Harbor Realty with two partners in Barnstable village. She was often seen buzzing around in her much-loved Jaguar in her stylish wardrobe including cashmere sweaters and leather pants. She was known for her love of hot fudge sundaes, Siamese cats and all things oriental.

Marge is survived by her son Russell (Skip) Gibson (Jamie), daughter Cheryl Gibson-Noonan (John), her brother Gordon Irving and family from Holliston. She is also survived by her grandson Andrew, granddaughter Emily Savage (Zach), step grandchildren Bryan, Kerry and Mike (Melissa) Noonan, as well as her great grandchildren George and Ofelia Savage and Anna Noonan.

The family would like to thank the staff at Mill Hill Residences and Broadreach Hospice for the wonderful care they gave her.
