Thomas Arthur
GEBERT was born in 1938 in Indiana.

married at Our Savior Catholic Church. Marie Migneault DONOVAN, daughter of

Newspaper unknown, date unknown reported:
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.
