BRUNSWICK - Robert L. Ibbott, 82, passed away on Thursday, December 25, 2025, at Albany Medical Center, after a brief illness. On March 22, 1943, he was born in Cohoes, N.Y., and grew up in Lansingburgh, N.Y. He has resided in the Town of Brunswick for over 50 years.
Robert "Bob" was predeceased by his father, Morris; and mother, Helen (Weber) Ibbott.
Bob is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Wilma D. (Funk) Ibbott. He is also survived by his son, Robert M. Ibbott, Brunswick; daughter, Tammy L. Stout, Cheney, Wash.; grandson, Christopher D.

Bob loved traveling to Maine, Wildwood Crest, N.J., and Walt Disney World. He also loved going out to dinner and having a latte and bagel at Uncommon Grounds. He enjoyed having conversations with folks at the markets and neighbors.
