Jennifer ‘Jenny’ Gibbs Bankston
December 5, 1974 – December 19, 2007
Birmingham, Alabama
Loving wife and mother, wonderful daughter and sister, Jenny was positively buoyant and epitomized all that is right with the world. Everyone who met her came away feeling uplifted by her presence and enthusiasm. She was kind, beautiful, creative, athletic and poised. Her love for life was evident to all around her. She was loved by family and friends with the same intensity that she showed in her love for others. It’s an unfathomable tragedy that her young life was cut short. She will be missed. And she will be remembered for the bright light that she was.
Graham Gibbs Bankston was born to Jenny and her husband, Chip, on November 1, 2007. Graham was called back into the loving arms of his heavenly father only six and half weeks later. The entire family is finding strength in God and knowing that this is all part of his divine plan.
