The retired United Airlines Maintenance Manuals Specialist, and 48 year Millbrae resident relocated to Del Webb Sun City in Lincoln, CA in 2001 where she and her late husband thoroughly enjoyed the fun residential resort living with all of their wonderful new friends. As a resident of Millbrae, Gayle attended Taylor Middle School as well as Capuchino High School. It was in her teenage years that she met the love of her life, and husband of 53 years, Sherold (Jerry) Wisecup who passed away in November of 2009. While her primary "occupation" was housewife and mother, she worked part time at the Millbrae Pancake House for many years. In 1978 she landed her dream job at United Airlines which led her to wonderful travel destinations with husband Jerry, and best friend Fay Bracken of Burlingame along with her late husband, Harvey.
