Eddy Arnold honored with sculpture, sign in Henderson
Eddy Arnold is the biggest name to come out of Chester County, said Henderson Mayor Bobby King.
King was one of about 100 people gathered at Sue Shelton White Park in Henderson on Friday to honor Arnold’s legacy with a sign noting his legendary career in the early days of country music.
But his legacy was also honored by students at Chester County High School and the dual credit welding program with Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Crump with a sculpture called “Pipe Dreams Do Come True.” It’s a sculpture that looks like a guitar made out of pipes welded together that stands about 10 feet tall.
It was the morning of Christmas Eve when Transcript Bulletin associate publisher Clayton Dunn, controller Bruce Dunn and editor Tim Gillie pulled up to Gibb’s family home in Tooele City.
After ringing the doorbell, the door opened and they were met in the front yard of the home by Jared Gibbs, 44, his son, Jaceton and daughter, Dreya, both 17.
The oldest son, Cayden, 20, who has muscular dystrophy, had a rough night and was still asleep inside, Jared said.
Christmas is normally a joyous season, but for the Gibbs family Christmas this year was a difficult time.
Trisha Gibbs, 41, wife and mother, passed away 18 days earlier in a hospital ICU from COVID-19. She had been in the hospital for two weeks with family members unable to visit her.
“It was difficult,” said her daughter, Dreya Gibbs. “Because of COVID we couldn’t even visit her.”
Trisha Gibbs left behind her family; husband, Jared, 42, son Caden, 20, and two 17-year old twins daughter Dreya and son Jaceton.
The Transcript Bulletin Benefit Fund selected the Gibbs family of Tooele as the 2020 recipient of the fund, to raise funds and other donations to help the Gibbs family with some of their burdens as they approach Christmas and the New Year without Trisha.
The family will need help with the unexpected medical and funeral expenses. And Jared, the single income earner for the family is faced with figuring how to provide for Caden’s medical needs and care.
