She met many life-long friends there, and soon after met love of her life, Michael Charles Flesch. Together they went to work at Owens and Minor, where she started her own company, Magnolia Delivery Service. Gayle was a sports fan, and kept many longtime friends through her bowling, card club, basketball, and ceramics. She had an enormous heart, charismatic laugh, and was a mom to all.
