Gayle was raised in Huntington with her nine siblings. Then later, she and Steve chose to make their home here as well. Gayle worked for the school district for over 28 years.

With over 300 students she managed to learn all their names and make each one feel as though they were “one of her favorites.” She loved to travel, spend time with family, camping, 4-wheeling, and she had a contagious laugh.
