September 7, 1939 - November 18, 2025
Harriet Julia Gibson, age 86, passed away on November 18, 2025 in Elizabeth, Arkansas. Born on September 7, 1939 in Salina, Kansas, Harriet was the beloved daughter of Harry Linn and Julia Linn (Brown). Her life was marked by devotion to her family, her home and the simple joys that brought her comfort and fulfillment.
Harriet married the love of her life, Tommy Gibson, with whom she shared many wonderful years. Their favorite pastime was fishing together, a hobby that blended quiet companionship with their shared appreciation for the natural world.
A talented quilter and avid reader, Harriet found peace in the rhythm of needle and thread and the stories held within the pages of her favorite books. She was known for her gentle spirit, warm smile and her deep love for her family, who were always at the heart of her world.
Harriet is survived by her daughter, Judith ''Kay'' Gibson and her son, William Dean Gibson. She leaves behind two grandchildren, Lisa White and Brien Gibson; as well as four great-grandchildren, Makaylin White, Barrett Gibson, Alex Gibson and Curtis Gibson. Each of them carries forward her legacy of love, resilience and kindness.
A graveside service honoring Harriet's life will be held on Monday, November 24th at 12:00 p.m. at Wake Cemetery in Elizabeth, Arkansas. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate the life of a woman who touched the hearts of so many.
Harriet's life was a tapestry of cherished moments, thoughtful gestures and unwavering affection. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those whose lives she touched
