THE PASSING OF DR ERICA GIBBS (1970-2018)
The Montserrat National Trust mourns the loss of one its main benefactor members and longest serving volunteer spanning the years 1970-2018.
The Trust was formed and signed into law in 1970 by her husband dennis gibbs a former administrator(governor equivalent) of Montserrat. They came to Montserrat in 1965.
Erica became actively involved in the Trust in the early 1980s serving in the capacity of secretary, recording secretary, and editor of the Trust newsletter. She also served on several subcommittees for many years and represented the organization at regional and international meetings at her own expense. Many overseas experts who provided support to the Trust were accommodated gratis at her home in Olveston.
Erica was our greatest champion and was still volunteering in the Trust gift shop up to her brief illness and passing on November 8 2018.
Her friendship, generosity, wisdom, her smile and warmth will be missed by the council, members, staff, and supporters of the Trust. Her contributions to Trust and to Montserrat are deeply appreciated.
We extend sincere condolences to her family.
