RIP Grandma Gayle

Gayle L. Mora 1939 ~ 2009 Our loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, Gayle L. Mora passed away in the early morning hours of December 26, 2009, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born April 15, 1939 in Salt Lake City to David William and Margaret Ethel George Bartholio. Married Bob C. Larsen, later divorced. Married Isy Mora Jan 21, 1965. He died December 3, 2007.

Gayle was the director of CCD for 25 years at Saint Patrick's Church. She was a food service manager with the Salt Lake City School District. Gayle would always lend a helping hand and would give you the shirt off her back. She touched the lives of many people.

She is survived by three sons Shane (Sondra), Lance (Michelle), and Christopher Trent (Marlene). Seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Brother, David Walter (Patricia) Bartholio, brother-in-law, Frank Burleson, and special niece, Michelle Boehme.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, sister, Velma Burleson, grandson, John, and great grandchildren, BayLee and Dylan.

Gayle is one amazing woman I have met in my life. She is Shane's grandmother and is the most loving person every. Shane has shared many great memories of her with me. I have only known her a short time. However I also have some great memories of her.

Unfortunately she passed away in the early morning hours after Christmas. After a long night in the emergency room and unsuccessful surgery there was nothing the doctors could do for her.

In Our Hearts

We thought of you with love today,

but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.

We think of you in silence.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories.

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake.

With which we'll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart.
