Anthony Allan Giesbers 92, a resident of Forest Grove passed away on September 2nd 2021 from a long-term illness.

Anthony, also known as ‘Tony’ to some, and ‘Bud’ to others was born on January 17th 1929 in Verboort Oregon. He is one of three children born to Leonardus P. Giesbers and Christine M. Giesbers, ne´e Van Grunsven. Tony is preceded in death by his sister Evelyn A. Brosher of Hillsboro.

Tony received his education in Hillsboro and graduated from High School in 1947. In 1950 he enlisted in the Army and served 2 years on active duty followed by 4 years of reserve duty. In that time, he was promoted to Sergeant.

In 1954 Tony married Joyce A. Kemper of Verboort, daughter of William T. and Dorothy M. Kemper.

Tony began working for Tektronix in 1956 while living in Hillsboro. In 1967 Bud and Joyce bought a small farm and moved to the outskirts of Forest Grove to raise their three children.

While working days in Beaverton OR, he also worked nights and weekends to build the family farmhouse. He then became a part time farmer, raising hay to feed the cattle to provide beef for the family.

Tony and Joyce enjoyed dancing and he had a vast collection of record albums at home, so they could practice. They also enjoyed getting together with friends and family to play cards and go on an occasional camping trip. Every Sunday and holiday were opportunities to gather with family. Both Tony and Joyce were parishioners of the Visitation Catholic Church in Verboort and served the church working at the Annual Sausage dinner.

In 1978 Tony and Joyce sold the family farm to begin a slower paced life, with the ability to travel and savor their time in the yard and garden. They took a dream trip to Europe in 1981, where they visited places of ancestry in Holland, and also went to the Vatican.

In March of 1983 after 27 years at Tektronix, Tony retired. In October of that same year, he also unexpectedly lost his beloved wife Joyce to a short illness, was heartbroken and lost.

In 1984 Tony was introduced to a sweet Texan gal named Frances K. Campbell (known as “Sis” to her family) whose wonderful ability to cook southern food was the best! It was an instant match and they were married in August of 1984. Tony and ‘Sis’ spent time fishing, golfing, and had yearly trips to Arizona in the winter with family and friends. Tony loved his yard and worked very hard keeping the garden immaculate and maintaining their home.

Both Tony and “Sis” were members of the Forest Grove Elks and enjoyed many evenings together there with friends and family.

Surviving are his wife, Frances Giesbers of Forest Grove; three children and their spouses, Mitch and Shelley Giesbers of Vancouver, Washington, James and Dawn Giesbers of Kirkland, Washington and Jacyn and Bob Gallagher of Weiser, Idaho; 6 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and brother Bernard Douglas Giesbers of St. Paul, Oregon.

Gilbert Joseph Giesbers, 90, a resident of the Verboort community, died Sunday evening, October 08, 2023 at his home.

Gilbert Joseph Giesbers was born to Anthony (AJ) and Marie (Krieger) Giesbers on January 7, 1933, at the family home in Verboort, the second oldest of six children.

He attended grade school and high school at Visitation Catholic School, having been a graduate of the Verboort High School Class of 1952.

He was united in marriage to Nadine Lucy Godon in 1953 in Visitation Catholic Church. They had six children: Michael, Karl, Brent, Cheryl Jacobson, Leah Kindel and Cara Pultz. A few days after their marriage Gilbert was drafted into the Army. He served two years of active duty at Camp Roberts and Fort Lewis, Washington to name a few, until receiving his honorable discharge.

Following their marriage, they resided in the Verboort community. They celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary on February 03, 2023.

Gilbert was a devout Catholic and supported his church, Visitation Catholic Church in Verboort, OR. He enjoyed helping at the annual Verboort Sausage and Kraut dinner every year. Gilbert always had an interest in how things worked. At the age of about 12 he built a car from old/scrapped parts (1930 model A Ford). Yes, it did run, and he sold it for $400. He was proud of his work. At a young age he began puttering around his father’s automotive business. Returning from the service he worked for his father and eventually owned Giesbers Automotive.

Among his special interests, he was a loving husband, father and grandpa. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing, golfing, automotive mechanics, and tinkering to figure out why something wasn’t working and how to fix it. Gilbert didn’t know a stranger and was known for his gift of gab. Hence, the nickname of Gabby Gib. If you had the time or even if you didn’t, he loved telling stories and yes, a joke or two also.

Gilbert was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Marie Giesbers, and by his brothers Eldon and John and his sister Delores Kemper and his son Michael.

Survivors include his wife, Nadine Giesbers, of Verboort, Oregon; his children and their spouses, Karl Giesbers of Verboort, Brent Giesbers of Forest Grove; Cheryl Jacobson (Rick) of Newberg, Leah Kindel (Dave) of Gaston and Cara Pultz (Jeff) of Banks. His sister, brother and spouse, and brother-in-law, Bernita Goodrich, Denis (Sharon) Giesbers, and Matthew Kemper.

Also surviving are his 14 grandchildren and spouses, Robert (Tonya) Giesbers, Darick (Liz) Giesbers, Sarah (Zachariah) Lupro, Hunter Giesbers, Trapper Giesbers, Shyann (Jeff) Stewart, Joshua Vanderzanden, Chandra Vanderzanden, Christopher Jacobson, Conrad Jacobson, Isaac (Kristina) Kindel, Kyanne (Robbie) Woessner, Nikita (Richelle) Pultz, Kyra Pultz; his 18 great grandchildren Brittany (Candace Lopiano) Giesbers, Andrew Bragdon, Sydney May, Mason Lupro, Keanna Hendrick, Jackson Stewart, Weston Vanderzanden, Luke Jacobson, Seth Jacobson, John Jacobson, Grace Jacobson, Carson Jacobson, Alivia Jacobson, George Woessner, Benjamin Woessner, Domonic Pultz, Alexandria Pultz, Charlotte Pultz and many nieces and nephews.

The family suggest donations in Gilbert’s name to Visitation Parish or Visitation Cemetery.

Frances, also known as ‘Sis’ to her family, was born Frances K. Campbell in Baylor County Texas. She is one of 13 children born to Matt Campbell and Martha, ne´e Dormier. Frances is preceded in death by her husband Anthony A. Giesbers of Forest Grove.

When she was a young girl, her parents decided to leave Texas and migrated to Oregon. To support the family in Oregon, the entire Campbell family worked on farms harvesting various agricultural fields.

In 1984, Frances was introduced to Anthony “Tony” Giesbers. It was an instant match and they were married in August of 1984. Over the years, Sis became a grandmother of 8 grandkids whom she loved very much. You could tell how much she loved her grandchildren by the sheer number of photos displayed around the house.

Sis and Tony spent time fishing, golfing, and had yearly trips to Arizona in the winter with family and friends. Sis loved working in the garden and always made sure beautiful flowers surrounded the home. One of the greatest gifts you could give her were flowers. Sis loved cooking for her family and she always made sure you had enough food at the table! Both Sis and Tony were members of the Forest Grove Elks and enjoyed many evenings together there with friends and family.

Surviving are her Sister, Mabel Sustaita of San Antonio TX; three step children, Mitch Giesbers of Vancouver, Washington, James Giesbers of Kirkland, Washington and Jacyn Gallagher of Weiser, Idaho; eight grandchildren, Nolan, Chelsea, Manning, Teague, Michael, Lexi, Elijah, and McKayla; and six great grandchildren.
