Gail Cissel Mccrary

Gail Loretta Cissel McCrary, 83 of Lexington, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at her home.

A Celebration of life will be held 4:00 pm Sunday 23, 2020 at Grace Missionary Alliance Church Cemetery with Pastor Tim Higgs conducting the service.

Gail was a devoted wife and mother for 63 years.  Her greatest joy was to be with her family and friends.  Gail and her husband, Jim (Grampy) moved to N. Ft. Myers, FL in 1964.  They lived there 50 years before moving back to Lexington in 2014.  In Florida, they were members of Christ Community Church of the CMA.  Gail served as Deaconess for many years.  Her claim to fame came from the many wonderful cakes she would take to church socials.  She also sang in the choir and sang many solos.  Back in Lexington, Gail was a member of Grace MissionaryAlliance Church.  She enjoyed getting to know the many wonderful people there.  She had a special love for flowers and spent much time planting and taking care of them.  Her door was always open to anyone who would come and visit.  She will be missed by many, but is celebrating her new life with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Gail was preceded in death by her husband, James Earnest McCrary.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Blaine McCrary (Cindy) of Lexington; brothers, Jerry Cissel of Leesburg, FL, Sparky Brooks and Rex Brooks, both of Lexington, Rocky Brooks of Lenoir; sister, Regina Harris of Lexington; 2 grandchildren, Misty Anne McCrary Hollifield, Sharon Lynne McCrary Donn; and 2 great-grandchildren, Davis Everett Weaver and Brecken Knox McCrary.
