H. Ray and Amy Schiess Gibbons were married in the Logan Temple on January 16, 1941.
While 75 years may seem like a long time, they would say, as Jacob of old said after working for Rachel for seven years, that the time which passed seemed "but a few days, for the love" they have had for each other.
The goodness and happiness of their married life has been an inspiration to their five sons and their spouses, their 32 grandchildren and their spouses and extending to the next generation of 117 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. They have all found an example of living happily ever after in the lives of these two remarkable people.
Ray and Amy moved to Lewiston in 1943 and since then their lives have intersected with many others as they have served faithfully in their church and community extending their love and generosity to all who know them.
Amy has kept beautiful flower gardens for those many years, only reluctantly allowing those gardens to be planted into lawn just last year.
Ray continues to check on the dairy herd each morning, assured that things on the farm still need his personal touch.
Their lives together have been rich and full and their home has always been a place of peace and unconditional love.
