Elizabeth F Gibb

Monson-Elizabeth F Gibb, born on April 18, 1939, in Salem, New Jersey, passed away on February 12, 2026, in Palmer, Massachusetts, surrounded by the love of her family. Mrs. Gibb spent her life nurturing young minds as an elementary school teacher at Faith Baptist Christian Academy in Palmer for many years. Her strong dedication to education extended beyond the classroom, as she also taught many piano students in her home, sharing her passion for music with them.

She cherished her time spent gardening, filling her yard with beautiful flower gardens. She kept a daily journal which she faithfully shared with her family. She was known for her organizational skills. In her free time, she enjoyed engaging in crossword and Wordle puzzles, hiking, and listening to music. She found comfort and strength in her faith and was a member of the Community Bible Church in Northfield.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Malcolm D. Gibb; her sons, Stephen Gibb and his wife Jane of Sydney, Australia, and Eric Gibb and his wife Michelle of Nikisksi, Alaska; her daughters, Wendy Emberley and her husband Bob of Northfield, MA, Becki Keith and her husband Brian of Palmer, MA, and Debbie Beaudoin and her husband Danny of Monson, MA.

Liz is also survived by her sisters, Doris Lum and her husband Milt of Port Ludlow, Washington, Hannah Jones and her husband Gary of Rocky Point, NC, and Susan Dolbow and her husband Ron of Salem, NJ.
