Gail Bolling Obituary

Visit the Charles W. Smith & Sons Funeral Home - Sachse website to view the full obituary.

Sally “Gail” Bolling, born on November 29, 1960, in Stephenville, Texas, passed away on October 17, 2025, in Carrollton, Texas. She was 64 years old.

Gail was a woman of deep compassion and unwavering dedication. Known for her kindness and generosity, she never hesitated to lend a helping hand when she could. Her love for her children and grandchildren was the cornerstone of her life—an enduring source of strength and joy that shaped everything she did.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Crystal Gilkey and her partner Mike, and LaCretia Nichols. Gail’s legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: Abrianna Conlon and her husband Patrick, Tayvien Nichols, Rylen Nichols, Eastyn Nichols, Braxtyn Johnson, and Enzo Fuertes.

She is also survived by her siblings: sisters Ernestine Chandler and Bennie Philips; brothers Rex Bolling and his wife Samantha, and Gaylon Bolling and his wife Kelly.

Gail was preceded in death by her beloved son J.C. Bennett Jr.; her parents, Benjamin and Birdie Lou Bolling; and her sisters Joyce Ray and Rosanna Simmons.

Throughout her life, Gail worked incredibly hard for everything she achieved. Her resilience and determination were evident in all that she did. Those who knew her will remember not only her strength but also the warmth and care she extended to others without hesitation.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. A Celebration of Life will be held on October 24, 2025, at 02:00 PM at Charles W. Smith & Sons 2925 Fifth St, Sachse, TX  75048.
