Titusville activist Marie Gebert dies

Titusville civic activist and two-time city council candidate Marie M. Gebert died Thursday following heart surgery at Lucerne General Hospital in Orlando. She was 39.

Apparently undaunted by two unsuccessful campaigns for city council in 1978 and 1979, Gebert joined the city's Human Relations Commission and Citizens Advisory Committee and continued her campaign for more recreation for Titusville's young people.

During her 13 years in Titusville, she coached the girls' basketball team at St. Teresa's Catholic School and did volunteer work for the Heart Fund, American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes.

Sister Margaret Mary, principal of the school, said, "She (Gebert) was very interested in young people. She wanted them to have leisure time activities and athletics. She was very athletic herself and that is why is is so extraordinary that she would die of a heart attack at such an early age."

In announcing her intention to run for city council in January 1978, Gebert said she had been working on other candidates' campaigns for 24 years and was ready to become a candidate herself. Her first taste of politics came in 1952 when she campaigned for her father, John Donovan, during his unsuccessful race for the Florida Legislature.

Her opponent in the 1979 campaign, Councilman Don Simmons said the two went into the campaign as strangers and came out as friends.

"I considered her a friend. She conducted herself as a lady," Simmons said. "I consider it a loss to the community because of her active involvement in it."

Funeral services are scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Mims. Burial will be in Oaklawn Memorial Gardens in Titusville.

Calling hours are 6-8 p.m. today, and 2-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. Sunday at Brevard Funeral Home North in Titusville, with a rosary service planned for 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Gebert lived with her husband Tom, son Sean, 11, and daughter Michelle, 13, at 605 Fern Ave.

Other survivors include five brothers, Gerald Donovan of Orlando, Edward Donovan of Cocoa Beach, Theodore Donovan of Miami and two others living outside the state.
