Gayle was a great lady. She was very involved in community activities, both in Riverhurst and at Coach Stop in Wellton, Arizona their winter home for many years.
An amazing woman who would try anything involving arts and crafts and she did it well. I am sure her students have beautiful memories of her class time.
