DeAnna Gibson Obituary
DeAnna Gibson, a loving and kind-hearted soul, passed away on September 30th, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on January 21, 1964, DeAnna was a beacon of joy, warmth, and unwavering support to all fortunate enough to know her.
Throughout her life, DeAnna cherished the bonds of family, pouring her heart into every relationship. She was especially devoted to her beloved wife, Christina Gilroy. Her role as an aunt was one she held dear, and the time spent with her nieces and nephews-Arielle (Jake), Mike, Rob, Madison Wesley, Chloe Wesley, and TJ Wesley along with her great nieces-Adrianna Denton, Ariyah Cotter, Adeleah Cotter, and Alayna Cotter—was a significant highlight in her life. She embraced each moment shared with them, illuminating their lives with her love.
Professionally, DeAnna was proud of her tenure at Stryker, where she dedicated 12 years before retiring. Her work was a source of fulfillment and offered her a strong sense of purpose. Outside of her career, DeAnna found joy in nature, especially through her passion for camping. The beauty of the outdoors was an escape she greatly valued.
DeAnna’s love extended beyond her family and career; she had an immense affection for her four-legged companions. Her dogs—Atlas, Chapter, Aspen, Journey, and Bruno—were her cherished friends, bringing boundless joy and companionship into her life.
She is survived by her loving wife, Christina Gilroy; her mother, Sharon Gardner; her nieces and nephews, Arielle (Jake), Mike, Rob, Madison, Chloe, and TJ; her great nieces, Adrianna, Ariyah, Adeleah, and Alayna. Additionally, an expression of heartfelt thanks resounds for Aunt LuAnn and Uncle Bruce, as well as for Arielle and Jake, whose steadfast support and love were invaluable to DeAnna.
DeAnna was preceded in death by her father, Steven Gibson, and her siblings, Christy Wesley and Todd Wesley. Although they have departed from this Earth, their memories and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew them.
DeAnna Gibson's legacy is one of love and kindness, and she will be missed deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
