Gayle P. Hale was born July 4, 1945, in Lisman, Alabama to the late Christine Scott, and Fred Scott Sr. She has six siblings Jeannie Martin of Shaker Heights, OH, Gloria Sturkey (Hurmus) of Cleveland, OH, Darlene Scott of Beachwood, OH, Diane Williams (Rayford) of Birmingham, AL, Lucius Scott (Betsy) of Virginia and, Don Scott of St. Petersburg, FL. Gayle was proceeded in death by siblings Mary Harper and Fred E. Scott Jr.
Gayle accepted Christ at an early age. She knew the lord. She graduated from Choctaw County High School in 1963. During her journey in life Gayle moved to Cleveland, Ohio where she met her husband Lucious Hale who proceeded her in death. They were married on August 1, 2005. Gayle spent many many years running her home daycare. During her tenure as a babysitter, she impacted many lives, and continued to keep in contact with “her babies” up until the day that she transitioned. She loved listening to the blues and spending endless time with family. Walmart was her “FAVORITE” store and fried chicken with hot sauce and a slice of white bread was her favorite meal. A few days before Gayle transitioned to be with the lord, she blessed us with her version of “Down Home Blues”! The legacy of her version of this song will forever ring in our ears with a smile and much laughter.
Gayle was called home to be with the lord on July 2, 2023. Her legacy will continue to live through her daughters Jackie Kirby (Darrin), and Lisa Govan (Kirk). She has five beautiful granddaughters Tierra Thomas, Fierra Stover (Larry), Taylor Young (Xavier), Tyler Baker (Malik), and Briana Kirby. Gayle also has six great grandchildren Tyree, Londyn, Remi, Reason, Khaidon, Kiela, and one bonus great grandchild Traymaine. Her presence will also be missed by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other loving relatives, and friends. She will especially be missed by her neighbors/friends at Ellacott Parkway.

Farewell Mother
Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain,
Is a smile I still wear at the sound of your dear name.
The precious word is ‘MOTHER’, she was my world you see,
But now my heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with me.
God chose her for His angel to watch me from above,
To guide me and advise me and know that I’m still loved.
The day she had to leave me when her life on earth was through,
God had better plans for her, for this, I surely knew.
When I think of her kind heart and all those loving years,
My memories surround me and I can’t hold back the tears.
She truly was my best friend, someone I could confide in,
She always had a tender touch and a warm and gentle grin.
I want to thank you Mother for teaching me so well,
And though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell.
I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see.
Thank you my Dear Mother for all the love you showed me.
Although you’ve left this earth and now you’ve taken flight,
I know that you are here with me each morning, noon and night.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And said, “Peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Granny, Granny, Granny where do I begin...... As I sat in your window looking out at the grey sky. Tears rolled down my cheeks, as it was finally time to say goodbye. Goodbye to a grandmother who was always there. Goodbye to a grandmother who always showed me that she cared. Goodbye to a grandmother who I always turned to. I don't know how to move on, what to do or even who to call. They say time heals all wounds and that the pain will subside, but I can tell you Granny they must have lied. I wish I could see you one more time, Come walking through the door... But I know that is impossible, I will hear your voice no more. I know you can feel my tears and don't want me to cry. Yet my heart is broken because I can't understand why someone so precious would leave me here left behind. I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through... As I struggle with the heartache that came when I lost you. Rest in paradise Granny I love you!
