Geneva Carol Webster Gibson, age 82, passed away Sunday, March 3, 2024, at her residence at the Celebrations Villa of Summit in Crestview Hills, KY.  Born on February 10, 1942, in Owenton, KY, Geneva was raised on a farm and established a work ethic that eventually led her pursuit of various occupations including as a Keypunch Operator for Wadsworth Electric, attaining her KY Real Estate License and working at the Dairy Bar in Taylor Mill, KY.  After being diagnosed with Lupus, her doctor told her not to work, but she continued to volunteer as the President of a Lupus Foundation in Ft. Wayne, IN (where she briefly lived) and as a Board Member and assistant to the Director of the Independence Senior Center in Independence, KY.  It was there you could often find her doing arts and crafts, making jewelry, crocheting, participating in community events, playing cards, or just answering the phone and taking messages.  Geneva was also a member of GracePointe Community Church of the Nazarene in Erlanger, KY.
