Michael Gibbons
President
Michael Gibbons is a “lifer” in the funeral services business. No stranger to the neighborhood, Michael is very active in many activities and events. First and foremost, Michael was baptized at St. Pascal Church. The whole ceremony remains in his memory if you ask him about it! With a sister and two brothers also serving in the Gibbon’s Family tradition of serving families in the funeral industry, Michael learned early how important it is to be there in times of great need.
Michael attended St. Peter’s (Itasca) and Immaculate Conception (Elmhurst) grade schools and went on to graduate from Fenwick High School, before attending DePaul University. He graduated from Worsham College of Mortuary Science in 2003. He married his sweetheart (naturally a girl from the neighborhood) Kerry, who attended St. Thecla Grade School, Resurrection High School, and St Norbert’s College. Kerry is an officer with the Chicago Police Department.
Michael and Kerry have 2 sons and a very busy athletic schedule. Known as “Coach Mike” to many, Michael has coached football for the Park Ridge Falcons (3 years), Evanston Raiders (2 Years), Wildwood Seminoles (2 years). He continues to coach Track & Field at St. Thecla as he has for many years. At St. Thecla Parish, Michael is a parishioner, a school parent and a member of the Athletic Council and Technology Committee. He also served on the Board and as Vice President of the Board of the Irish American Heritage Center.
Michael’s love for dogs is well known in the neighborhood. Currently, he and Kerry have 2 dogs, one which was a street rescue. They have had as many as 4 dogs at a time and are deeply committed to rescue dogs. Michael is a regular at the Madhouse on Madison for Chicago Bulls games as well as a huge fan of the Chicago Wolves Hockey Team. His recreation and free time include reading (history buff), swimming and playing with his two sons.

She is a familiar and comforting face and presence here for so many of our families who know Judy and her family.
Judy’s passion includes dancing, which she’s been doing since the age of 3. She still takes lessons. She taught dance for 10 years at her Aunt Kathy’s DeMaira Dance Studio in Oak Park.
