Her vibrant spirit and loving nature will be forever remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Gayle's life was a melody of love and devotion, and her passion for singing gospel music was a reflection of her deep Christian faith. She carried her faith through every aspect of her life, touching the hearts of many with her angelic voice and the sincerity with which she lived her beliefs.

Gayle's kind spirit was evident in the thoughtful ways she interacted with those around her. She was a spirited soul who approached life with enthusiasm and a readiness to help others. Her thoughtfulness was a comfort to her family and friends, and her actions were always guided by love and compassion. Gayle's memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched, and her legacy will continue to inspire kindness and love in the lives of others.

She is preceded in death by her parents James and Adell Lawson, Buck and Joyce Gattis, and raised by Dewey and Linnie Lingo; sisters, Debra Gattis, and Becky Gattis; and her brother, Michael Lingo.
