Susan Gibbons, 74, real estate agent
October 19, 2023
Susan Gibbons of Litchfield Country Club died Oct. 16 surrounded by loved ones. She was 74.
She was born Nov. 11, 1948, in Hackensack, N.J., the daughter of Fred and Rhoda Bohrman. She spent her early years in Wilkes Barre, Pa., before her family settled down in Cheltenham, where she completed high school. She studied at Penn State, hitchhiked through Europe and taught special education.
Mrs. Gibbons lived an adventurous life, sharing most of those adventures with her husband, James “Gibon” Gibbons, whom she met in San Francisco. They moved across the country and made their home in Pawleys Island. She became a highly successful real estate agent who prioritized her relationships with clients.
Simply being a good person and sharing kindness were her guiding life principles, her family said. When she faced her own health decline, she did so with bravery and grace.
She is survived by her nieces, Casey, Jenny, Amanda and Rebecca; her nephew, David; her brother and sisters-in-laws, Fred, Lynne and Evalyn; and Mr. Gibbon’s nieces and nephew, Dave Gibbons, Susan Bachtle and Paul Gibbons.
Mr. Gibbon died before her, as did her brother, Jeffrey.
A celebration of her life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at her home.
