Gayle worked outside of the home her entire adult life to help support her family.  She was employed at Tim Coil and Loop for many years, from there she moved to Berkley Industries where she worked for several additional years before finishing her career at Wal-Mart.  Gayle loved going to work every day, it wasn’t just a job for her, rather it was a way for her to socialize and see her “work friends”.

Gayle enjoyed spending time with her family; she was a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  She enjoyed tending to her flowers and yard, she was happy to go out to dinner with family and friends.  Gayle was full of energy and life and always on the go.  Clark and Gayle both enjoyed their many vacations with family and friends, especially to their favorite destination, Hawaii.
