Carolyn Kay Gibson

February 15, 1941 – December 30, 2024

Carolyn Kay Gibson, 83, of Hemet, California, passed away on December 30, 2024. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Carolyn’s life was a testament to the love she shared with those closest to her.

Born on February 15, 1941, to Delbert and Wilma Henson, Carolyn grew up with her siblings in a family that instilled in her the values of hard work, kindness, and deep family bonds. She was predeceased by her parents; her brothers Roy and Jerry Henson; her sisters Gloria Jean Hill and Joy Curry; her son Darryl Gibson; and her grandson Steven Lofing.

Carolyn is survived by her husband of 65 years, Walter, and their children Ed, Rick, and Cherie. She was also a proud grandmother to Kelli, Ricky, Eric, Brian, Valerie, and Darryl, and a great-grandmother to Steven.

A longtime resident of Hemet, Carolyn dedicated herself to God and her family. Carolyn was a woman of deep faith, known for her unwavering love of God and her role as a faithful servant throughout her life. She was a woman of extraordinary strength and character, always putting others’ needs before her own. Whether she was offering a helping hand or sharing words of wisdom, her warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Carolyn had a special way of making everyone feel welcomed and loved.

In addition to her role as a homemaker, Carolyn enjoyed the simpler pleasures of life—gardening, traveling, music and spending quality time with her children and grandchildren. Her home was always filled with the sounds of laughter and a sense of peace that only she could bring.

Though Carolyn is no longer with us, she leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and devotion that will continue to inspire and guide her family and all who knew her.

She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

The gates of Heaven are waiting for you.

Flying with the Angels!!

A celebration of her life will take place at a later date.
