Dockens Jr. Pastor, Trinity Church of God, Harrisburg, PA Reflecting Upon the Life of Mrs. Mary E. Gibbs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “…Well done thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of the Lord…” Matthew 25:21 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mary was born February 3, 1925 in Steelton, PA, daughter of the late Frank and Drucie Jordan. Educated in the Steelton School District, she graduated from Steelton High School. Mary and her husband, the late Raymond L. Gibbs, moved to Baltimore, MD, where she was employed by the London Fog Coat Factory and played the organ at Walter A.M.E. Church until her retirement. Upon the passing of her husband, Mary remained in Maryland. She would come home every July and Christmas to visit, and in 1989, she came back to Steelton. Mary enjoyed life and her favorite Bible Scripture was the 23rd Psalm. She was passionate about watching the evolving drama of her favorite soap operas. Mary lived a good life and peacefully entered eternal life on Wednesday, July 27, 2016, leaving to mourn her departure her nieces, Karolyn, Karen, Drucie, Vivian and Jacklyn; nephew, Jefferson; great-nieces, great-nephews; her Aunt Verdelle; her first cousins, Audrey and Pennod; a devoted friend of the family, Cornelius Beaden; as well as a host of other family members and friends. Respectfully and Lovingly Submitted, The Family The Twenty-Third Psalm The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters; He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake… Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over… Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
