May’s Obituary Ardmore resident May Ellen Gibbs passed away, Thursday, July 25, 2019, at Mercy Hospital of Ardmore. A daughter of the late Samuel Houston Hefner and Nellie Cleveland Chandler Hefner, May Ellen was born May 13, 1941 at Wilson, Oklahoma. She was reared there and graduated from Wilson High School with the Class of 1959. May and Dan M. Gibbs were married September 23, 1960 in the Dickson community and lived there for many years. They had a collaborative and caring relationship, based on mutual support and a deep love for each other. This September they would have celebrated their fifty-ninth wedding anniversary. To say that May enjoyed cooking would be an understatement, as she was a cook at the Dickson School for eleven years and later after moving to Ardmore, May cooked at the Ardmore Day-Care for twenty-seven years. She valued the time spent working in her yard, tending to her flowers and plants. May is survived by her husband, Dan Gibbs; a son, Daniel Gibbs and his wife, Terri, all of Ardmore; two brothers, Eddie Hefner of Wilson and Joe Hefner of Laguna Hills, California. In addition to her parents, May rejoins other loved ones including; six brothers, Roy, Samuel, Harold, Tom, Dories and Carl Hefner and three sisters, Ruth, Alva and Betty.
