Gaye was a retired physical educational teacher. She truly loved her job and working with children. She graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and Louisiana State University. She earned her Master’s Degree and more continued education.

Gaye loved her family! All her family. She enjoyed every time there was a family get-together. She also loved the Lord! She loved going to church, singing in the choir, playing the piano, teaching Sunday school, reading the Bible and spending daily time in prayer. She enjoyed helping others in need as well. She had a servant’s heart!

Today, June 30, 2023, we lay Gaye’s body to rest but her soul was immediately with Jesus the moment she took her last breath here on earth. She is free from pain, sorrow, stress and is now rejoicing, laughing and singing in heaven! We are so thankful for her in our lives and the impact she had on us. We look forward to when we see her again!

If you are reading this, she touched your life as well, and we’re so happy you are here with us today.
