Gay moved to Lethbridge to be close to her daughter 17 years ago. She helped sew numerous costumes and character skirts for the students at JDF who called her Mrs. Gay. She spent many hours caring for her mother who passed away at 103 years last summer. Mom loved to travel back to Vernon, Edmonton and Red Deer to see her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gay and Bob spent the last 11 years travelling and enjoying time with each other. A special thanks to Geraldine for always being there for Gay and Joy. Also thank you to the Lethbridge Regional Hospital, Foothills Hospital and St. Michael’s for the wonderful, loving care she received.
