Linda Gay was a wonderful, loving, sharing, giving, and elegant woman, mother and wife. She prided herself in her independence, even up to the time she left her earthly body. There never was a person that Linda Gay would meet without walking away with a new, mutual friend. One of her greatest joys was traveling, and she touched the lives and hearts of many people both at home and abroad. Another of her passions was reading, and she would often devour a book at a single sitting. Wherever she lived, she always took her extensive library of what she called her ‘friends’. She had many accomplishments, including raising her own family as well as two stepsons, zoo docent, realtor, shop owner, and her proudest time while in Norman, as elected President of the OU Faculty Spouse Association. She will be missed by many, many friends and relatives.
