Gayle Ann Lum, 70, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2024. She was the loving wife of James for 49 years, cherished mother of Josh (Michelle) and Jacob, adored grandmother of Matthew, Samuel, Kaitlynne and Henry. She is also survived by her cousin, Carolyn Burgan, as well as her friends.
Gayle was preceded in death by her parents Gaylen and Betty Rice.
Gayle retired after 26 years from Miami Valley Hospital. She enjoyed cooking, watching the Food Network, and reading cookbooks. She also really enjoyed watching Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods and Hallmark movies with Jim. She loved her church family and worshipping together with them at Two Rivers Community Church.
Gayle, or as Jim lovingly called her, George, enjoyed her family most of all. Spending time with Jim, her boys, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren gave her so much joy. Her presence will be so very missed.
