Apr 6, 2026
Sun City Center, Fla.—Senator Ashley Moody recently presented a Florida’s Finest Award to Sharon Gibbs for saving the life of a Sun City Center man. Gibbs, a cardiac nurse, heard cries for help and immediately jumped into action. Gibbs performed CPR and administered an automated external defibrillator on a man experiencing cardiac arrest.
“A man is alive today because of the decisive action by one of Florida’s Finest: Sharon Gibbs. Sharon, a cardiac nurse on her day off, happened to be walking by a community garden at the exact moment a man collapsed from heart failure. She quickly sent her husband for the nearest AED and performed CPR until responders arrived, saving the man’s life. She is truly a hero, and I am honored to present her with a Florida’s Finest Award,” saidSenator Ashley Moody.
