Born April 12, 1943 in Spartanburg, SC, Gayle was a daughter of the late Howard T. Robbins and Mary Louise Crocker Robbins.

Gayle retired in 2008 from Brown & Brown Insurance after 32 years, beginning as an office receptionist and retiring as Operations’ Manager. She was Secretary/Treasurer of the Spartanburg Rotary Club for many years. Gayle was extremely active her entire life in church work as pianist, choir member, Sunday School teacher, mentor and disciple leader.
