Gaynelle was born January 23, 1960, in Summerville, GA, daughter of the late Grady Ledford and Betty Lowrance. She was a homemaker and was Church of God by faith.

She made sure to tell her loved ones every day, “I love you with my whole heart,” and every night, she would say, “Goodnight. I love you. Sweet dreams.” She fought long and hard and her greatest fear was leaving behind her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. What a beautiful blessing she was to her entire family and all of her friends, and she was dearly loved and will be missed by everyone.
