Mrs. Edna Jean Gay Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Edna "Jean" Gay, 97 year old, received her angel wings on Sunday June 5th, 2022 after a long tough battle with dementia. Jean was born in Daytona, Florida on March 5, 1925. Soon after graduation from high school she met her soul mate, a Navy man named Warren T. Gay Sr., also from Daytona, Florida. They were married for 39 years when a tragic accident took the life of Warren in 1981. He was the first police officer in Tallahassee to be killed while on duty. She was a strong and independent woman who had to decide how to make extra income to support herself as she had always been a homemaker, so she took in ironings and built up a big client base. She did this well into her 90's. She always supported all of her children and grandchildren in whatever they did. She loved to watch her grandsons play baseball. She was a charter member of Seminole Baptist Church. She loved God and her church immensely. She lived a good Christian life. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and eight siblings. She is survived by one brother, Cullen Tippins (Dixie); four children, Warren Gay Jr. (Pat), David Gay, Denise West (Joe) and Beverly McCoy (Clark); sixteen grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She will be profoundly missed by her loved ones. A graveside service will be held Thursday June 9th, 2022, 11:00 a.m. at Roselawn Cemetery in Tallahassee.
