Janelle Nicole Gibson, beloved mother, aunt, sister, and daughter; passed away peacefully on July 26, 2024, at the age of 39. She was born and raised in St. Bernard, Louisiana as the youngest of five siblings. Janelle attended Sebastian Roy Elementary and graduated from Andrew Jackson High School, where she made many lifelong friends. Janelle began her career as a Neuro Tech and later a Retinal Ophthalmology Tech, with many thanks to the doctors who mentored her along the way.
