Mary Jo Gibson, age 91, passed away peacefully in her home on September 4, 2024, in Madison, Tennessee. Born on August 6, 1933, in Castalian Springs, Tennessee, she lived a life filled with love, grace, and compassion.

Mary Jo was a devoted mother and grandmother and great-grandmother, raising her children and grandchildren with unwavering love and care. She is survived by her sister, three children,  two grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She was known for her kindness, sense of humor, strength, and deep faith in Christ. Her joy in hosting holiday meals, gatherings, and her time in accounting at Opryland are fondly remembered.

She found happiness in being surrounded by family, attending Neely's Bend Church of Christ, cooking, making bracelets, feeding the snapping turtles in her creek, and enjoying the wildlife in her yard. Her family will forever treasure her famous chicken and dumplings and the many other dishes she lovingly prepared for family, friends, and neighbors.

Mary Jo’s kindness touched many lives, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. As many of you are aware, Mary Jo’s grandson, AD, passed away on September 3, 2024. In remembrance of their special bond, a joint visitation for Mary Jo and AD will be held at Hendersonville Memory Gardens from 12:00 to 2:45 PM, with a graveside burial for Mary Jo immediately following.

The family invites all who loved her to join in honoring her memory. Flower arrangements can be sent to the funeral home before the services. Monetary donations can be made through GoFundMe in her honor to assist the family with current financial needs. Please click the link below to contribute.

Psalms 23: 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
