Obituary for
Anna Lynn Gibbs
Gibbs, Anna Lynn – Age 72, Harmony. It is with great sadness that the family of Anna Lynn (Barker) Gibbs announces her passing on August 10, 2021 after a sudden illness. She leaves behind her loving husband of 50 years, Lloyd and her daughter, Andrea, the light of her life.
Anna was born in Windsor, NS in 1948, the daughter of the late Owen and Norma Barker. After graduating from high school, she trained in office administration and worked in this field for several years. Once Andrea was born, she devoted her life to being a mother.
Anna had many interests, but her real love was breeding and raising Irish Setters. This led to the establishment of the Irish Folke Kennels. She attended numerous dog shows and had several champions that she was proud to call her own.
Travelling to Cuba was another joy in Anna’s life. She loved the brief reprieve from the daily routine and enjoyed the warm sun, sandy beaches and the Cuban friends that were like family.
In addition to her immediate family, Anna is survived by her brother, David (Margaret); sister-in-law, Cheryl and many in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Gary and mother and father-in-law, Bert and Ina Gibbs.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to everyone who has shown so much love, help and compassion. Anna will be dearly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Colchester Community Workshop.
