Mrs. Gilbert was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and daughter. Polly had a dream of becoming a nurse and had received a scholarship to attend Nursing school at Northwestern State University, but she turned it down to marry her high school sweetheart, Corbet Gilbert. Because of her desire to help people and her love of all things medical, she achieved that dream after all her children reached school age. Up until her last days, she enjoyed talking about her nursing career and all her experiences helping people. Her grandchildren were her life and she most enjoyed spending time with them, watching them all grow and become Christian men and women. Polly was a devoted member of Whites Ferry Road Church. She loved the Lord and took advantage of any opportunity to witness. She also loved sports and enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren participate in them.
