Audrey Louise Gibbons-Bird, 78, of Sweet Home, died April 15, 2011.

She was born Sept. 3, 1932 in Council Bluffs, Iowa to Paul S. and Esther M. (Buck) Walters.

She worked as a certified nurse’s assistant and caregiver at Twin Oaks for 10 years. She enjoyed long scenic drives and singing in the Singing Christmas Tree. She loved her kitty, “Itty Bitty.” Her favorite poem was “Footprints”. She especially loved the last line, “My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trials and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.”

Mrs. Gibbons-Bird is survived by her daughters, Cheryl Duncan of Washington, Debra Gibbons of Sweet Home and Lisa Yarborough of Springfield; 13 grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband John Gibbons (1986), and her sister Marie Piranio.

At her request, no services are planned.
