Margie Gibbs Remington

DURHAM- Mrs. Margie Gibbs Remington, 92, passed away Tuesday, February 12, 2019.

Mrs. Remington was born March 11, 1926 to Staley and Naomi Gibbs in Durham County, NC. Margie loved to garden and go bowling. She was a very hard worker, even working in the yard into her late eighties. Margie canned the vegetables she grew. Coming from a generation of having to work at an early age, Margie believing education was important, earned her GED at 60 years old from Durham Tech Community College. She enjoyed genealogy, while being very meticulous by going to courthouses, and to cemeteries to do rubbings of grave markers. Margie will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who had many good friends.
