Her hobbies were shopping, sewing, quilting, and Family History (Genealogy). She enjoyed taking trips with family and friends, eating out with special friends, and loved to attend the temple.

Preceded in death are her parents, husband, Johnnie Bunk Gilbert, and sister, Nelda Files Strowbridge. Those left to treasure her memories are her son, Ricky Gilbert (Peggy), daughter, Kania Janjua (Shahzad), and grandchildren, Courtney Smith (Eric) and Silas Janjua, whom she dearly loved, and Aunt Mary Lindsey Hardy.
