It is with great sadness that, the family of Gayle Greer announces her passing on Friday May 16.  She was surrounded by her family who loved her very much.

Gayle married the love of her life, Terry Greer, September 11, 1965 in Sweetwater, Texas. Gayle and Terry got to share nearly 38 wonderful years together before his passing August 10, 2003.

Gayle was preceded in death by her husband, her mother Ada Collins, in-laws Truman and Vestlene Greer, and grandson Garrett Gamble.

Gayle Reed Greer was a devoted wife, mom, sister, and grandma who loved big, lived boldly, and never held back. She had a fiery spirit, a sharp sense of humor, and a heart that made everyone feel like family. Gayle was the kind of person who showed up always.

She worked as a nurse and cared for others with the same strength and compassion she gave to those closest to her. Her greatest joy in life was her family, especially her grandchildren, who were truly her whole heart. She was a best friend, a second mom, and a constant presence in their lives.

Gayle was a proud and passionate fan of the Dallas Cowboys and her Sweetwater Mustangs. She was a true Elvis Presley enthusiast visiting Graceland 22 times and never missing a chance to talk about him. She loved watching Judge Judy and The Bachelor of course filled with her amazing commentary. She also loved her plants, peacocks, and the teacup poodles she lovingly raised over the years.

A social butterfly and the life of the party, Gayle was always surrounded by friends and family. Her presence lit up every room and her absence will be felt just as deeply.
