GILBERT, Barbara Ann age 74 of Naples, Florida passed away on Sunday January 16, 2022. She was born in Rahway, New Jersey on February 9, 1947 the daughter of Robert and Elsie (Howell) Evans. She married her high school sweetheart, Vincent P. Gilbert, on September 28, 1968 in Linden, New Jersey. He preceded her in death on November 19, 1983. She is survived by her three children, Kimberly (Emanuel) Velez, Vincent (Amanda) Gilbert and Melissa (Toby) Sevier; seven grandchildren, Kaylee, Kelsie, Kane, Olivia, Christian, Rylie, and Gabriel; two sisters, Linda Curnow and Donna (Gregory) Fonseca; a brother, Dr. R. Stephen (Karen) Evans; and many nieces and nephews. Barbara was a beautiful soul who brought a smile and laughter to whomever she met. She was admired for her strength when raising three children as a single mother after the death of her husband, and living with Parkinson's during her retirement years. Neither prevented her from enjoying life with her family or a good game of Bingo. Barbara was a loving mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, niece, cousin, and friend to many. May beautiful memories with her be a comfort to those who knew and loved her.
