Dorothy A. Gayden

Mrs. Dorothy Jean Gayden was born January 8, 1951, in Colbert County, Alabama to the late William and Jette Adams.

More loving than most
Often right, even when I thought she was wrong,
Truly my biggest cheerleader.
Heaven welcomed her with open arms.
Every day without her will be empty
Radiance has now moved on.

Dorothy A. Gayden was truly a gift from Heaven. She blessed so many
lives that she encountered, and always will be remembered for her loving,
generous, and her kindness to all. We miss you, and we all love you!

Dorothy A. Gayden married William Gayden for 33 years who preceded her in death.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, William and Jettie Adams, and two sisters, Johnnie L. Lewis and Helen Adams.

She leaves to cherish her memories: two sisters, Wilda Bowman of Waterloo, Iowa, and Ruthie Bailey of Muscle Shoals, Alabama; two brothers, William Adams (Shirley) of Zion, Illinois, and James Adams (Ella Pearl) of North Chicago, Illinois; three stepchildren, Barshea D. Allen of Las Vegas, Nevada, Al L. Gayden of Huntsville, Alabama, and Paula R. Smith of Waco, Texas; a friend, Edward Billings and a host of other nieces, nephews, and friends.
