The beloved mother of three and grandmother to seven, Bibber was a lifelong Elmwood Village resident, who spent countless hours in the service of others via education, philanthropy, and volunteering.

Bibber helped raise record funding as Chair of the Women's Division of the United Way and had been President of the Elmwood Franklin School PTA. She graduated from the Franklin School, Buffalo Seminary and in 1951 from Wheaton College (Norton, MA), where she starred as a four-sport varsity athlete, excelling in tennis, field hockey, swimming and basketball and followed up by teaching athletics at The Park School upon her return to Buffalo. In 2012, she was inducted into the Buffalo Seminary Athletic Hall of Fame. She had been a member of the Garret Club, the Buffalo Tennis and Squash Club, and the Cherry Hill Club in Ontario. Alongside her love for helping others, Bibber loved the beach, sunshine and sitting on her porch at her summer cottage in the cool of the early evening. She was predeceased by her husband, Thomas A. Jebb; brothers John L. and George B. Truscott '55, and is survived by her son William T. Jebb '74; daughter Katharine Jebb Norton '76 (Jim); son Douglas S.
