Nancy J. Gibney

Nancy J. Gibney, 77, of Janesville died Friday, Dec. 16, 2016, at Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville, with her loving family by her side. She fought a tough battle until she peacefully passed.

She was born March 3, 1939, to Robert and Margaret Dwyer in Kendall. She graduated as salutatorian from Kendall High School in 1957 and was involved in many school activities, including band, student council and cheerleading. Nancy married Keith E. Gibney on Oct. 11, 1958, in Kendall, and they made their home in Janesville. After raising three daughters and babysitting many children, Nancy was employed by Rock Title & Abstract, Woodman’s, and for 30 years for Rock County Developmental Disabilities Board, retiring in September 2009.

Her lifelong love for bowling took her to many national bowling tournaments around the United States. She bowled in several leagues while holding several offices for many years. Nancy was a charter member of the Women’s Bowling Hall of Fame and was inducted in October 1990.

Nancy was fortunate to be in a card club with a group of special ladies for more than 50 years. Nancy loved to bake dozens of Christmas cookies every year and shared them with many families and friends. Nancy loved get-togethers with her family for holidays, celebrations and game nights.

She is survived by her loving husband, Keith of 58 years; her three daughters, Connie (Rick) Mueller, Shelley (Matt) Weber, and Ronette (Roger) Johnson, all of Janesville; and her four grandchildren, Marissa, Betsy, Ethan, and Matthew. She is further survived by two sisters, Roberta (Joe) Madden of Elroy and Mary (Ted) Welch of Wilton; one brother, Pat (Rita) Dwyer of Kendall; and nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

~Thank you for letting me have you for 60 years. Love forever ~ Keith
