Nancy Elizabeth Harris was born to Mormon pioneer parents on August 6, 1858, and grew up in southern Utah. When she was 17, she married 26-year-old Andrew Vinson (A.V.) Gibbons. They were married civilly first, and then sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City.
They lived in Glendale, UT, and had two children (Andrew Smith Gibbons and Nancy Naomi Gibbons.) A.V. took a second wife, Ella, who was Elizabeth's younger sister.
They decided to move south, stopping for a visit to A.V.'s parents in St. Johns. They were called to stay in St. Johns as colonizing missionaries. They farmed and raised stock.
Elizabeth could be stern when occasion required, but she was naturally a sweet, caring, self-sacrificing person. She was also adventurous and had a great sense of humor. She loved poetry, scriptures, fiction, and radio shows. She loved dancing. She kept chickens and cows, and had a garden.
Elizabeth outlived both of her own children. She was 58 years old when her daughter died, and she took on the raising of her grandson Harvey. At 74 years old, A.V. was disabled by a stroke. Elizabeth was his primary caretaker for his last eight years.
She lived to be 93 years old, and is buried in the St. Johns cemetery.
