Helen Gibb
 

I'm out of the country but was told Helen Gibb passed away yesterday. I'm very sorry to hear it but she seems to have had a very good life . She brought many fun memories to many of us. Rest in peace Helen. Our thoughts are with you Nancy.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

She passed away last night at 8:55 pm at the age of 91. I will get back when I have more details. So very sorry Nancy. She was such a sweet lady and really enjoyed talking to everyone at the shows.

May you rest in peace Helen!

Re: Helen Gibb
 

She was a sweet lady, she reminded me of my mom who is now 95. I told Helen that once and she loved hearing that.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

Dammit. Very sorry to hear this news. She was an extraordinary woman.

Rest in peace my dear lady...It was an honor to sit and talk with you.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

This would be a great thread to post more Helen pics that many of us have. Maybe more of a celebration of her life.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

So sorry to hear this. May she rest in peace.

Nancy and Connie, so sorry for your loss and know that we are thinking of you.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

Met Helen at the second Gibb reunion, where I soon learned just how special a woman she was. She welcomed me and my family into her extended family, which meant a lot to us.

A true ambassador for Gibb Chevrolet, and our hobby as a whole, she was truly the &quot;first lady of supercars&quot;.

Watching Helen smile and laugh, visiting with folks, young and old (for hours) at the various shows was always a treat for me and will be missed.

RIP Helen, and our thoughts and prayers to the Gibb family.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

Karen and I send our thoughts to Nancy and the family...Helen was truly the First Lady of Chevrolet in my book. She will be missed by family and friends and from many who only knew of the name Gibb through car shows and magazines. My fondest memories are those impromptu birthday parties we had a couple of times at the US30 York Show...she was like a kid with her cake!

RIP

Tom &amp; Karen

Re: Helen Gibb
 

So many happy times with Helen and the girls. It was such a treat to go back to LaHarpe each year and see all the smiling faces that greeted us as we arrived.

The memories with Dennis Hartweg, Barnhart, Howie, and Boje at Helen's house after the '02 ZL-1 deliveries, ........ days and evenings spent with the Gibbs after the LaHarpe &amp; Monmouth events, ......... the Supercar Reunions and MCACN, ........... And all the fantastic people we've met through our associations over the years, ...... too many to list for fear of missing someone.

Times are changing, but we hold onto the GREAT memories.

Thank You Helen, for being a friend to all of us.

God Bless you.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

As she rests peacefully now ....we celebrate the joy she has given all of us ...memories are cherished as well as shared thru eternal life ....her and Fred being reunited is the beginning and ending to a wonderful marriage. I am sure Fred welcomed her home with open arms. Thank you Helen ....for just being yourself !

God Speed Helen!!!!

Thank you for touching so many in the car hobby in such a positive way.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

Very sad news. My thoughts and prayers to the family. So glad I met the First Lady of Novas. She was a very warm and loving woman.

Re: Helen Gibb
 

My condolences go out to the Gibb family.

I was at Vette Fest in 2007. Helen was there with their Blue 1968 Gibb Nova. I was in awe as I had a '68 Nova at the time and was drooling over it. One of her daughters came up and said &quot;my mom said you can sit in the car if you want&quot;. It is something that I'll NEVER forget. Nothing but class in that family.

God speed Helen.
