Burma Faye Gibbs

Burma Faye Wilson Gibbs, age 67 of Ashburn, Ga., passed away peacefully  Monday, Aug. 9, 2010 at Tift Regional Medical Center, Tifton, Ga., after a long illness.

Born April 25, 1943, a native of Ashburn, Ga., the daughter of the late George B. and Sarah Frances Ivey Wilson, Sr. and was the widow of the late Charles Hubert “Chuck” Gibbs.

She is survived by her children, Charles W. Gibbs, of Parker, Elizabeth D. Earl, of Carrabelle, and Brenda J. Brewer, of Eatonton, Ga.; four brothers, George B. Wilson, Jr., of Warner Robins, Ga., Hiram G. Wilson and Herman D. Wilson, both of Rebecca, Ga. and William G. Wilson, Byron, Ga.; three sisters, Marie McCard and Annie Merle Ethridge, both of Ashburn, Ga., and Deena French, Knoxville, Tenn.: four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her eldest son, James C. McGlamry; two of her brothers and two of her sisters.

Burma had made a home in the Lanark Cillage area for many years, raised her family and gathered countless friends all over Franklin County. She loved company as she peddled her flowers, plants and homemade desserts. She was usually one of the first people you would see at a good yard sale. Her friends enriched her life and she loved and missed you all.

It was her request that she be cremated and no services to be held. Perry Funeral Chapel, in Ashburn, Ga., handled arrangements.
