Thank you Frances Gibson for all the hours you put in at Stall High School to teach our Warriors. The Warrior Tribune was an excellent high school newspaper because of the high standards you set. Your students always reached high to show all of us what they could doYou inspired all of us.

Mrs. Gibson taught English at Garrett High School and was a great teacher. After college, I had the pleasure of dealing with her and her husband at my pharmacy. She was always a delight to chat with and will be greatly missed by all that new and loved her. Rest in Peace !!

Condolences to the Gibson family on the passing of Mrs. Gibson. She taught English at Garrett High School and even though I was never in her class she always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. Rest in Peace.

To the Gibson family, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this beautiful soul with me and all of my classmates (Stall High C/O 1999)!!! Mrs. Gibson was THE epitome of grace and class and despite her small frame and stature, definitely had a much larger presence - in the life of her students but I also choose to believe, anyone with whom she came in contact! I learned so much from her - will eternally be grateful for her love for teaching and genuinely all of her students. She taught me so many lessons on discipline, determination, drive and resilience! She will most certainly be sorely missed, yet I´m confident her legacy will live on for years to come! May God strengthen her family - your mom truly was TOP TIER!!! Thank you, Mrs. Gibson! Well done, well done!

One of my favorite teachers. She taught me English and was my journalism teacher as well. I will always and forever be able to hear her voice.
