Alberta Muirhead Passes

I am very saddened to announce that Russ Gibb's long time partner, Alberta Muirhead has passed away. Ms. Muirhead, of Dearborn's Muirhead Department store family, was a very well respected businesswoman and philanthropist. Here are the details on services and visitation:

Howe Peterson Funeral Home
22546 Michigan Avenue
Dearborn, MI

Sunday, Jan. 16th: Family 3-4
Visitation 4-9

Monday, Jan. 17th: Visitation 1-9

Tuesday, Jan. 18th: Service 11:30

Alberta's wishes were that any gifts should be given to Oakwood Health Care Foundation, Alberta Muirhead's Nursing Scholars.

This black and white shot was selected from a series of photos taken in 1971 for a womens wear magazine. Mrs. Muirhead was one of Dearborn's business leaders and an arbiter of taste and style. Like Mr. Gibb, she was always on the leading edge.
