Gayle Massie Unger

UNGER, Gayle Massie, 74, the love of my life, my inspiration, my motivation, my everything, left us on August 20, 2021, for a better place without the pain and suffering she has endured these last few months, in the hope that she and I would enjoy more years together. I am devastated, but hope that there is an afterlife which she claims there is, so that we will be together again at some point forever!

She was predeceased by her parents, Col. James Massie and Mildred Selden Massie. In addition to me, Dennis Unger; Gayle is survived by her cousins, James McGinley, William Selden V, Barbara Selden; nephew, James "Jay" Massie; and many friends.

Gayle lived her entire life in Richmond, graduated from Westhampton Elementary and Middle schools, Thomas Jefferson High School and RPI with an associate's degree in Business. She worked for the state at several agencies, but finished her career with the Health Department.

I was fortunate to meet her in 1999 and married her exactly one year after our first date. There was not a day that we did not tell each other how much we loved each other. How lucky we were to be together for all those years, but it was far too short.
