Gay was a friend and colleague for many years in the Columbia High School Mathematics Department. She was always calm, pleasant, patient, dependable and dedicated. She always saw the best in people and never had anything bad to say about anyone. It was always a delight to see her and to speak with her. She will be missed! Rest in Peace!

I worked with Gay for several years at Columbia High School and remember her energy and enthusiasm. She was always so helpful and encouraging. She touched many lives. My condolences to her family.

There are way too many good memories of Gay ,Doug , Kent, Gwen, Jeff . A vey smart, talented & fun friendBunny

Gay was a wonderful friend and colleague from our days together at South Orange Middle School and Columbia High School. We kept in touch and visited each other after she and Doug moved to the lake. A great person who will be missed. My sincere condolences to her family.

Gay and I were romantically involved, starting in kindergarten and lasting through 3rd grade. I used to steal kisses from her when she wasn´t looking. Gay remained friends with my sister Toni, my wife Muriel and me throughout our lives. We miss her very much. Jack Windolf

I wish that I could gather your family together for one big hug. But know that my heart is with you at this time and will be forever. Your family and mine made some special memories together and your mom was much like the sister I never had. She was always ready and willing! My life has been blessed to have had her as part of it for many years. And you all have certainly made her proud!
