Gaye was a special friend of my parents – Carolyn & Willie Pollard. They loved her and Roy so much and treasured the friendship they had over the years. She always made me feel so loved and she will be greatly missed by our family. Our prayers are with all of you. Please take care of yourselves during this time.

Dear Family,
I just learned of Gaye’s passing. I worked with Gaye in the personnel office at Linn Corriher in the early 80’s. She was a gem and helped me so much to learn the ropes. I am so thankful the Lord allowed me to know and love Gaye. I know she will be missed by all who knew and love her. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out.
May God richly bless you,
