Gayle absolutely loved her work as a dedicated cleaning contractor for the restaurants at The Kemah Boardwalk for 25 years. It was there that she became aquainted with and grew to love the hispanic community which led her to her life-love relationship with Raul. She loved, cared for and helped, whenever possible, his entire family.
Gayle enjoyed doing arts and crafts. And, she poured her loving energy into the things that she made... Including crocheting, knitting, painting, drawing, cross-stitching, building doll houses as well as many more hobbies. Gayle was a hard worker, helpful person and a virtuous woman. Her religion was doing good and living simply.
