Myra Gail Hunter

Gail was born on April 20, 1957, to Harold Eugene Woods and Mildred Jeanette Holmes. Gail retired from the Lee County Department of Education, where she spent her time as a lunchroom worker. She was always on the go, hardworking, and a go getter. She was a huge Alabama football fan and enjoyed taking her fur baby on occasional joy rides in which Gail called “whoopy rides”.

Gail is preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Jeanette Holmes Vela; her father, Harold Eugene Woods; and her grandparents, Clyde Marie Holmes and Grady Dewey Holmes; four brothers, Raymond Woods, Troy Woods, Sydney Woods, and Leroy Woods.

She is survived by her former spouse, John Wayne Jacobs, Sr.; her children, Karen Jacobs Parker (Chad Parker), John Wayne Jacobs, Jr. (Tina Harris Jacobs), and Candice Lee Petty; her grandchildren: Megan Dunn Adams (Johnathan), John Gage Jacobs, Zackery Chase Dunn, Ashlynn Jacobs (Jayce Swint), Dawson Dunn (Nicole), Devin Dunn (Makayla), Cason Taylor, and Dakota Taylor; her great grandchildren, McKenna Adams, Caselynn Adams, Karyson Dunn, Natalee Dunn, Dylan Adams, Nikki Adams, Bentley Swint; two brothers, Terry (Leanna) Hand, Gary (Deborah) Woods; her dear sisters-in-law, Kim Woods and Elizabeth Woods; as well as her special friend, Randy Hall; several nieces and nephews, and other special family members and friends.

A Funeral Service will be held on January 13, 2025 at 11:00 AM in the Edgewood Hall of Striffler-Hamby Mortuary with Pastor Michael Roberts officiating. The family will visit with friends from 10:00 AM until time of the service. A Private Burial will follow.
