The legacy of Raymond and Marguerite Gibson will continue in this community for eternity thanks to their diligent financial planning and major philanthropic efforts preceding their passing.
The Ransom Memorial Hospital charitable association doing business as Advent Health Ottawa Foundation has announced the Gibson’s have left a yearly gift of over $41,000 to the hospital. Raymond and Marguerite Gibson had long supported the hospital, and after Raymond passed in 2004, Marguerite donated $800 to $80,000 to the hospital as part of a capital campaign for modernization and expansion. She spoke highly of having a community hospital and says, “Most didn’t understand the importance of having it until they had to use it in an emergency.” Executive Director of the Advent Health Ottawa Foundation, Kaci Brady says, “The Gibson’s gift ensures the hospital will forever have supplemental funding for purchasing updated medical devices, providing expanded treatment options and/or ensuring all patients are treated for any illness/injury no matter their ability to pay.”
