Brooke Ellen Gibson
January 11, 2021 - November 15, 2021

Surrounded by family, our dear Brooke passed from this world in the early hours of 15 November 2021 after a lengthy illness. Much beloved daughter of William and Sevia, sister to Kim (Gunnar Rogstad), Bill, and Craig. Dearest auntie to Casey and Quinn, in whose lives and nurturing Brooke played an active role and took a special delight. A lifelong student, Brooke was a graduate of both York University (B.A.S., 1989) and Ryerson Polytechnic, as well as a host of other courses, including museum studies and wooden boat building. Her passions were family and friends, reading, aquafit classes at the ‘Y’, her times at Lake Scugog, and long walks in Willowdale. For those who knew her, Brooke’s engaging and energetic personality, and, in the latter stages of her life, her courage and good humour will remain indelibly etched in their memories – she could never have imagined just how much she was loved nor just how much she will be missed. Donations in Brooke’s name may be directed towards the North York Women’s Shelter, The Star Santa Claus or Fresh Air Fund. At Brooke’s request there will be no service and cremation has taken place. Our family extends thanks to the palliative care unit at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre as well as to the dedicated homecare workers who made it possible for Brooke to enjoy the final days of her life at home.
