In Memory

Patricia Gayle Baggett (Turner)

Patricia Gayle Baggett (Turner)

Information was posted to the Waltrip High School Class of 1967 Facebook page yesterday that Gayle Baggett Turner died on Jan 5, 2018.  Her most recent husband, Joel Rupard, who she married May 7, 2016 passed away on October 28, 2017.  This is the note posted on Facebook: 

"For those of you who know Gayle Baggett Turner, she has had a multitude of health issues since May. A few weeks ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and has opted no treatment. She went home with hospice care last weekend and her daughter Meredith Ty Turner and my mother Sheryl (Bagget Corley) Kuentz (who is not on facebook) are taking care of her. She is at the end stage of her most adventurous and beautiful life. If you would like contact info, you can message. Cards and letters would be wonderful so they could read them to her to show her how much she is loved. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY."

We wanted to send cards, however, Gayle passed away the same day the message was posted.  Evidently Gayle graduated from Spring Branch High School in 1967, but she attended Waltrip with us as well. She was in the choir. This is the only information I have at this time.
