Ann Kibelbek Obituary

Ann Alice Kibelbek

Fort Myers - Ann Alice Kibelbek 86, passed away Sunday, September 2, 2018 after enduring health complications. She was born July 12, 1932 and was the last living of 13 bothers and sisters.

She is survived by her husband Joseph Kibelbek of Fort Myers, FL and her son Joseph Kibelbek, Jr. (Missi) of Baltimore, Md.

She graduated from Pittsburgh School of Nursing as a registered nurse and after several years of practice she joined the Navy Nurse Corps where she served for 13 years and attained the rank of Lt. Commander.

She met her husband Joe in Washington state and after a short but adventurous courtship they were married December 26, 1967. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in December 2017.

Ann and Joe moved to Fort Myers from Severna Park, Md. in January of 2005. She was very active in Severna Park, MD church and community matters but was hindered in Florida by her stroke. The stroke occurred in October 2006 affecting her health and mobility immensely. She was cared for at home in Fort Myers by her loving husband, Joe for 11 years and 11 months, using the time to prepare a Caregivers Manual to help others.

She had a countenance and friendly way so that the people she met loved her and her smiling face. She was absolutely a good woman.

Funeral Services were held in the Greenlee Funeral Home, 619 Main St., Bentleyville PA followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Katharine Drexel Parish Bentleyville Campus. Interment followed in Monongahela Cemetery. Online guestbook and personal condolences may be accessed at www.GreenleeFuneralHome.com.

Our dearest Aunt Ann. From the time we could remember her, she had a smile for us to the very end, despite her sufferings the past 12 years. When I was little, I wanted to be a nurse like her. I wrote an essay about her once and called it "Angel of Mercy" because she had delayed her senior year in high school to take care of me and my five siblings when our mother nearly died along with another sister in childbirth. Then she was graced with her own Angel of Mercy in her faithful husband Joe who took such unbelievable care of her the past 12 years. Thank you, Aunt Ann. Thank you, Uncle Joe. We love both of you!
