Beverly Gayle

Beverly Yvonne Gayle, age 65 of Manassas, died Thursday, November 15th, 2012 at Manassas Health and Rehab Center. Beverly was born March 28, 1947 in Kingston, Jamaica to Donald and Enid Roberts. She was a full-time mother and wife devoted to caring for her family and home. Her first love was God and as such lived a life that was unquestionably pleasing to God. Born in Jamaica,WI she relocated to New York City in her teens and there met, and married her husband and had her first daughter, Michelle before moving to Manassas. Not long after moving to Manassas, she had her 2nd daughter Crystal and son Jayson. Beverly Gayle was a simple woman. She loved her family and friends and the simple things of life. Those who know her know that she loved her garden, and she loved to read. She was often teased about reading the dictionary and she knew a lot of words and their meanings. She was an excellent cook, and there was almost always something on the stove. Her children's friends were always comfortable checking out what was on the stove – and there was always enough for more mouths to feed. She was loyal and committed to her husband and children and kept her home in order. She was a perfect example of the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31. Who can find a virtuous woman? She was found in Beverly Gayle and her worth was far more than rubies. Beverly Gayle had unusual grace and strength. Through her illness, she never complained and as Job was described when calamity came into his life in Job 1:22 – In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. In all she went through, Beverly sinned not and did not charge God foolishly. Often, while recovering from being paralyzed from her strokes, she would be on her feet praising God in church. She knew what it meant to be thankful. There was never a question of her love for God, her family, the people of God, or anyone who needed her. She was not often in the spotlight, but she influenced many people in her life with her quiet and gentle way of teaching. The wife she was, the mother she was, and the way she managed and kept her home was exemplary. She was truly the best wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend anyone could ever have. She is preceded in death by her father Donald Roberts. Beverly is survived by her husband of 36 years Barrington Gayle; her children, Michelle Gayle, Crystal Gayle, and Jayson Gayle of Manassas, her mother, Enid Roberts of West Palm Beach Fl, siblings Donna Cashie of Los Angeles CA, George Roberts of Oxnard, CA, Donovan Roberts of Albuquerque NM, Kaydene Cousins of West Palm Beach, FL and Denise Scarlett of Palm Beach Gardens FL. She is the aunt of many nieces and nephews and daughter-in-law to Wilhelmina Gayle of Northport, Fl. The family will receive friends from 6:00-9:00 P.M., Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at Church of God, 8823 Rixlew Lane, Manassas, VA 20110 where services will be held 11:00 A.M., Wednesday, November 21, 2012.
