Gail M. Reeves, 71, passed away November 15, 2023, at Baptist Hospital in downtown Jacksonville after a courageous battle. She was a lifelong resident of St. Augustine, Florida. Gail was born November 7, 1952, to parents Vivan and Alene (Capalia) Thigpen.
She worked many years at Winn-Dixie in the deli and bakery department before reaching retirement. Gail loved living on the coast because she enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the beach. She enjoyed outings to attend movie viewings at the theatre. She had a knack for coloring using computer applications.
She leaves many people to grieve for her besides her dear friends: her nieces and nephew: Tammy (Jimmy) Klipstine, Jennie Gay, Larry "Bubba" Weldon, and Linda McMillan; and seven great-nieces and nephews. Gail was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Patricia "Pat" Weldon-Hendricks, and husband, Robert "Bob" Reeves.
"The world changes from year to year,
Our lives from day to day,
But the love and memories of you,
Shall never pass away."
