Tesni Adele Gibson

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beautiful Tesni, who was taken from us far too soon at the age of 29 on Friday 3rd July 2026.

A devoted and loving mami to her precious daughter Madi Esmee, treasured daughter of Andrew and Diane, adored sister of Christian, Sophie, Joanne, Neil, Kirsty, Braidy and Shelby, beloved sister-in-law to Lisa, Jason, Lee, Em, Matthew and Ben, and a fun-loving auntie to all her nieces and nephews.

Tesni was a kind soul, funny and full of life, bringing love and laughter to everyone around her. She will be remembered for her beautiful spirit, her infectious smile and, above all, the fierce and unconditional love she had for her daughter Madi, who was her whole world.

She will be forever loved, deeply missed and always remembered.

The funeral service will take place on Tuesday 28th July at 11.00am at St Catherine’s Church, Brynamman.

Family flowers only. Donations in memory of Tesni, if so desired, will be gratefully received and forwarded to the National Autistic Charity via Hywel Griffiths & Son Funeral Directors, Bwtrimawr, 39 Betws Road, Betws, Ammanford, SA18 2HE, or through the JustGiving page
