She also leaves behind 12 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, many cousins, friends, and co-workers who will cherish her memory
Gayle liked to watch western movies and read western books. She loved to listen to country music and, once upon a time, that 2 step dancing beat got her feet moving across the floor. Another enjoyment was playing cards; Canasta was the family game. The Pro, her mother, was hard to beat. When Gayle won it was an enjoyable time. She also enjoyed her monthly gamer with her canasta buddies after feasting on a good meal. She really looked forward to spending time with her special friends.
