Gertrude (nee Gibb) was born in China in 1905 to missionaries with the China Inland Mission (Overseas Missionary Fellowship).

She came to Canada in 1922, attended Shaw's Business College, and, for the next nine years, worked at the National Trust and then with the Shantymen's Christian Association.

In 1928, she enrolled at TBC. Three years later, she began her missionary service with the New Testament Missionary Union, working first in Paraguay and then in Argentina.

The outbreak of war in the Falkland Islands forced her return to Canada in 1983, culminating 52 years of faithful missionary service.

Gertrude was an active member of Calvary Church in Toronto.
