Christine Gibbs of the Bronx went to be with the Lord on April 3, 2020 after a short illness at Catskill Regional Medical Center. She was 80. Christine was the daughter of the late Charles and Lubertha Dickerson Williams, born on August 27, 1939 in South Carolina. Christine had the ablity to light up the room the moment she stepped into it. Her loving, charismatic, outgoing personality will be deeply missed. She always made her home a warm and welcoming place for all to come and visit, where you would leave with a full stomach and an afternoon full of laughs. She was always full of advice whether it was wanted or not. She always knew the right thing to say no matter what the situation was. She was small in stature but with her her feistiness you would never know it. On any given afternoon she could be found listening to James Brown while cleaning, cooking or relaxing.

She loved God dearly and was an devoted member of Greater Bibleway Temple in Brooklyn for over three decades. She changed the lives of so many people and not just her large family; but she extended her heart and her home to many. She was a woman with a heart of gold and her love could go for miles.
