Default Helen Gibb

I'm out of the country but was told Helen Gibb passed away yesterday. I'm very sorry to hear it but she seems to have had a very good life . She brought many fun memories to many of us. Rest in peace Helen. Our thoughts are with you Nancy.

She passed away last night at 8:55 pm at the age of 91. I will get back when I have more details. So very sorry Nancy. She was such a sweet lady and really enjoyed talking to everyone at the shows.

May you rest in peace Helen!

She was a sweet lady, she reminded me of my mom who is now 95. I told Helen that once and she loved hearing that.

This would be a great thread to post more Helen pics that many of us have. Maybe more of a celebration of her life.

Met Helen at the second Gibb reunion, where I soon learned just how special a woman she was. She welcomed me and my family into her extended family, which meant a lot to us.

A true ambassador for Gibb Chevrolet, and our hobby as a whole, she was truly the &quot;first lady of supercars&quot;.

Watching Helen smile and laugh, visiting with folks, young and old (for hours) at the various shows was always a treat for me and will be missed.

RIP Helen, and our thoughts and prayers to the Gibb family.
