MARGARET ISABEL GIBBS (nee DIAMOND) On Saturday, June 30, 2012, Margaret, the cornerstone of our family, passed away peacefully with family around her, reuniting with her beloved husband Wilbur at Heavens gate after 36 years. Margaret was born on May 16, 1926 to William and Anna Diamond in Watrous, SK. She met and then married Wilbur Gibbs on September 4, 1946. Throughout their marriage, they lived in Simpson, SK and surrounding area and finally settled in Regina in 1969. She was predeceased by her parents William and Anna; husband Wilbur; son Wilbur in infancy; brothers Lowell and Billy; sister Crit; and son-in-law Dale.
