REMEMBERING GAYLE DEHOFF
I met Gayle at a Louisburg fund raiser and adoption event for animals. Big surprise. Since I was a Paola lawyer, I didn´t have very deep connections to Lousiburg. Imagine how impressed I was that my first dear Louisburg friend was Gayle DeHoff. She made everyone special. We eventually joined hands to raise Miami County´s capacity to care for abandoned animals. We served together on the Prairie Paws Board of Directors for several years where she continued her generous ways both giving time and talent to fund raising.
At the same time she sought to expand the Louisburg´s community footprint for supporting local artists by joining the Miami Arts Coalition. She sponsored the Coalition´s effort to open a second art gallery in Lousiburg at her real estate offices where she provided free space, free utilities, free security and administrative support to the Coalition. Without Gayle there would never have been a Reflections East Art Gallery in Lousiburg. She particularly admired the Coalition´s efforts to trigger support for LHS art students and art educators.
Most of all Gayle shared her passion for loyalty to family and friends with me. She allowed me to accompany her to visit her mother at Vintage Park. We had a few wine and cheese events at her home. She and Fred were a dynamic and loyal couple supporting each other at every turn. It is so easy to write and admire them. Gayle´s footprint will not be forgotten.
