Gayle Lynne Bradley Alexander
Gayle Lynne (Bradley) Alexander, 45, was born on March 22, 1958, to Clinton David, and Ruth Marie (Lutes) Bradley in Nevada. She went to her heavenly home on May 28, 2003.
Gayle spent the first five years of her life in Filley before moving with her family to El Dorado Springs, where she spent the remainder of her life. Gayle and her three sisters attended church from early ages, where as children they served the Lord through their beautiful music. She was baptized on April 2, 1967, at the age of nine, by Maurice Pond at the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Gayle was married to Kenny Alexander from 1972 to 1996. Through this union three children were born - Kendra, Chastity and Jeremy. Gayle was a wonderful mother and homemaker who raised her children while working on the family farm. Gayle spoke of and taught her children the ways of the Lord.
In 1989, Gayle, with the support of her family, began to pursue a lifelong dream of a career in nursing. She graduated from Nevada Regional Technical Center with her LPN degree and then went on to State Fair Community College, obtaining her Associate Degree in Nursing. Gayle loved her work in nursing. She wanted to give back to the Lord some of the wonderful gifts He had given her. Gayle spent the last three years working at Nevada Regional Medical Center in the emergency room.
During Christmas 1996, Gayle found her soul mate, Albert Mallicoat. Though they had been friends for years, they had not found each other until that Christmas morning. Gayle spent the rest of her life getting to know this man, who became her best friend and one true love.
Gayle loved the outdoors, enjoying the time she spent in her yard and garden. She enjoyed cooking for her family and friends, as well as hunting, fishing and camping. Gayle had numerous friends, who each felt as though they came away with something special in their life from knowing her.
Gayle's battle with gallbladder cancer, which began in March 2003, was fought with the same strength, courage and determination that she displayed in all aspects of her life. During her illness, she won the hearts of many of her doctors and nurses, as well as their admiration. She grew closer to the Lord with each passing day.
