I will always remember Martha Gayle with great fondness. We grew up in different states, but always remembered enjoying her company when we visited her family. Her mom and my mom were sisters. We lost touch over the years but recently got in touch with her. Wish we could have met in person one last time. Rest in heaven my beautiful cousin. To her family you have my heartfelt condolences.
Mrs. Bowen was my 6th grade teacher in 1965/1966.I will always have fond memories of her reading to us. She made the stories come alive. God Bless you all during this difficult time.

Gayle was a precious friend from First Presbyterian Church! David, Daphne, and Danielle were faithful in our youth program. Renza and Gayle were an outstanding southern gentleman and lady. Rest In Peace. ❤️🙏
Gayle was a WONDERFUL woman!! I enjoyed working with her for many years at ACMS. Praying for all of the family.
