Our sweet and quirky Gaylin Brewer left this world from complications from breast cancer and chemo treatments. She was proud to be considered “quirky” and sprinkled her daily language with phrases like “toodles” for goodbye, “give me a ringy dingy” for call me, and would often answer the phone with a robust “greetings and salutations!”
Gaylin was a nurse for over 40 years and loved to quilt, sew, crochet, and just about any other craft was worth a try at least once!
Gaylin was a native of Limestone County and was married to Larry Brewer. She had four children and several grandchildren, and loved them dearly.
