Winona met her husband Alfred in Luling TX and they were married on September 2, 1931. They moved to Austin TX in 1947 and opened Gibson's Wholesale on Colorado Street in Austin TX. They later operated Gibson's Discount Centers on Airport Blvd., Austin, Texas and in Taylor, Texas and San Marcos, Texas. After Winona and Alfred retired they enjoyed managing their property and going to their farm in Elgin, Texas, where Winona loved to fish. Winona was always active in church. She worked with two and three year old children in Sunday School for more then sixty years. She felt that the training children received at this young age was very important.
