MaryEllen Gibble, 76, of Lebanon, passed away on Thursday, June 13 with her family by her side.

Born in Reading, PA, on November 24th, 1947 to Thomas Kiscadden and Mary Whitehead. She is a graduate of Lebanon High School, going on to careers as a hairdresser and a nurse, including time as a nurse for Dr. Suzanne Worrilow, careers she loved and adored for all the wonderful friends she made and people’s lives she touched along the way.

She is survived by her husband Larry, who spent 43 wonderful years together; her three children, Kelly Kleiner (wife of Richard Kleiner) of Bakersfield, CA, Samuel Brubaker of Lebanon and Joshua Gibble of Lebanon; two brothers Terrence Whitehead and Richard Witman; eight grandchildren, Amber Estrada, Nicholas Kleiner, Benjamin Kleiner, Keshia Rhen, Nicole Ludwig, Chelsea Kleiner, Tyler Brubaker, and Chloe Kleiner; 10 great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her sister Kathleen White and brother James Whitehead.

MaryEllen loved spending time with her family and three dogs, relaxing in her pool during the summers, enjoying her home and garden, taking trips for ice cream, cheering on the Phillies and always staying young by being a big kid at heart. The only thing more infectious than her laugh and personality was the genuine happiness she had for the milestones and accomplishments of her family and friends.
