Heaven is sounding sweeter all the time. This expresses our feeling at the passing of Mrs. Gail Story. Gail was a loving, free spirited and fun wife, mother, grandmother and aunt. Her family and friends loved being with Gail. There was never a dull moment when she was around. She was always ready for the next adventure.
Gail suffered a massive stroke at the age of 58. This limited her activity over the next 27 years, but she continued to be active though confined to a wheelchair. Nothing was going to keep her from living her life with her beloved husband (Gilman) of 64 years always at her side. She loved her boys, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family was her life.
Gail was a faithful follower of Christ. She was a life long member of the Church of the Nazarene. There she played piano, organ, taught Sunday School and worked with children and youth.
Gail was a kindergarten teacher and also severed as a local church Day Care director.
She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Now she will be eagerly awaiting that great day, when all of God’s children are gathered in their eternal home.
Mrs. Story passed away Tuesday, September 15th, 2020 at Cullman Regional Hospital. She was born May 8, 1935 to William R. & Lorene Styers Sessions.
She was preceded in death by her parents.

Greg (Charity) Story, Geron (Sandy) Story; brothers, Phillip (Mary) Sessions, Billy (Faye) Sessions; sister, Barbara Ragsdale; grandchildren, Brooks (Matthew) White, Blake Story, Brock Story, Ashton Story; great-grandchildren, Garner White, Hollis White, Paxton Story; a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
