Reba Gay

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths…Proverbs: 3:6

Reba Hughes Gay, born December 17,1953, a resident of Denham Springs and native of Magee, Mississippi, went to be with our Lord and Savior on April 1,2017 at her fishing camp doing what she loved.

She was a retired bus driver for Livingston Parish Schools as well as a substitute teacher. She was a member Of Emmanuel Baptist Church.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband Alton Gay and her children: daughter and son-in-law Rachel and Chris Gill, son and daughter-in-law Aaron and Ashleigh Bache, and son Adam Bache and April Bergeron. Four grandchildren, Laney Marie Eiland, Lena Bache, Lawson Bache, and Landry Bache; mother-in-law, Jessie Kling; sisters-in-law, Mary Hughes and Sarah Hughes; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Robert and Theresa Gay; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law Glenn and Rosemary Avery, and many nieces and nephews.

Reba was preceded in death by her father and mother, Carl Wilbur and Esther Jean Hughes; brothers Carl Michael "Mickey" Hughes and Laney Joe Hughes; nephew John Michael Hughes; and father-in-law Alton Gay, Sr.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend. She was a great motivator and enriched many lives with her thoughtfulness, generosity and great sense of humor. She loved camping, riding motorcycles, eating out weekly with Alton and her best friend Jeanita and traveling with Alton. She enjoyed life to the fullest. Being around her family and friends brought her great pleasure. She adored her children and her grandchildren they were the joy of her life. She will surely be missed.
