Gayle was a dear friend of ours. She was living proof that, yes, angels Do live among us.
She Will be Missed.
Momma Gayle will be truly missed. Much love to all of the family.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Collin.
I have so many fond memories of Gayle as we had our children just months apart and they had such fun growing up together. I was so proud of Gayle as she faced diversity and “took the bull by the horns”, working hard to get her degrees and make a great career for herself and was a very devoted Mother to her children. She was always a good sister-in-law and friend. Knowing her was a blessing to me.
I will miss you Mama Gayle.
We will miss you, Aunt Gail

It was obvious at our “Girls of ‘64” monthly lunch meetings that Jo Gayle loved her family. She was so kind and unselfish. That is why she was our Panther Queen and voted most popular our senior year at CHS. Thinking of you, her family, at this sad time. I will miss her, too.
My heart hurts, as I remember you, but my joy increases. You brought so many moments of laughter and meaningful meaningful memories to my life.
I remember how hard your Mom worked to take care of you, Dana, and Joe!
We became best friends when we were elected Jr. High cheerleaders.
We never flailed, always the two of us. You shared your deepest secrets.
Last time together, we talked about seeing the Sistine Chapel, and how we loved Michael Angelo! You had gone with Dana.
Gayle was a member of our “birthday club” and a great debater of current affairs. We all loved her Italian Cream Cake and champagne gatherings on she and John’s front porch. She was a dear friend for more than 20 years and will always have a place in my heart.
I will miss our fun of clothes, laughter and talks. You will be greatly missed.
I sure miss you lady. You always knew how to brighten my day, and I am really greatful for the time I got to know you and the stories we shared. Heaven just got itself a very beautiful soul and one heck of a woman. You are deeply missed and very loved. You deserve the most beautiful wings and angel can get…rest in love lady til we meet again
I remember her from my childhood. Her and Mr. Bailey. I went to school with Bridgette who was and always has been so sweet. Beautiful Lady, Beautiful Family. Rest In Peace… 🙏
Prayers for the family
