Gayle Maureen McCallum passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 7, 2025 at the age of 82. She was an artist, teacher, historian, storyteller, expert in Egyptology (she taught herself to read hieroglyphics) and adored Greek mythology. She was a jewelry maker and a world traveler, a proud mother and grandmother - one of a kind, and never ordinary.
She is survived by her daughter, Maureen (Burdine) Roberts, her son-in-law, Craig Roberts; her beloved grandson, Sean; and many cousins near and far.
She was predeceased in death by her husband, Harold, and by her parents, Roger and Marie (Hill) Lucchese.
