Ms. Gayle Hardin Brashier, 69, passed away on February 07, 2024.

She was one of a kind and a very special lady. She loved people and they loved her right back. Gayle was very generous; she would give the coat off of her back if she thought a person needed it.

Painting was one of her talents that she excelled in. She painted all sorts of artwork. Several of the chickens displayed in Forest were painted by Gayle. To some, she was one of the best artists in the country. She taught art for several years. Gayle did private art lessons for elementary through high school students.

Cooking was another one of Gayle's favorite things to do for her friends and family.

Gayle had two special cats, Tigger and Big, whom she loved dearly. We can't forget about her grand kitties, Willie and Luckie that held a special place in her heart.

Gayle struggled with physical disabilities; she remained courageous and strong dealing with all situations.

Ms. Gayle was a lifelong member of Sulphur Springs Baptist Church and will be greatly missed by all.
