Scott Russell Gibson, age 70, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, passed away on March 5, 2026.
Born in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Scott built a life centered on service, learning, and family. He proudly served in the United States Navy, with stations in San Diego, California and Bethesda, Maryland.
Scott devoted much of his career to caring for others as a registered nurse for nearly 20 years. He served for many years as the Director of Pechan Health Center at Indiana University of Pennsylvania before going on to become the Director of the Indiana Ambulatory Surgery Center. After retirement, he helped out at his son’s lock shop, 1-2-3 Lock and Key. A lifelong learner, Scott earned a Bachelor of Science degree, a Master of Arts degree, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration.
Outside of his professional life, Scott gave generously of his time to his community. He spent many years supporting the Boy Scouts of America, serving as a Scoutmaster and proudly guiding and supporting all three of his sons as they earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He also operated a CPR training center, where he trained thousands of people and helped equip others with life-saving skills.
Scott’s greatest joy was his family. He was a loving husband to his wife, Michele, and a proud father to Katy, Andrew (Lindsay), Benjamin (Camilo), and Noah (Raiya). He especially cherished his role as “Pop Pop” to his beloved grandson, Wesley. He is also survived by his brother, Bruce (Nancy).
Scott will be remembered for his dedication to helping others, his commitment to education and service, and the deep love he had for his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A private service was held for his family at Bowser Minich Funeral Home.
