Gay was a graduate of Riley High School.

She made South Bend her lifelong home. Gay was employed as a Crossing Guard for 30 years with the South Bend Police Department. She was a meticulous person by nature. Her personal appearance and that of her home, lawn and car were very important to Gay. She enjoyed dining out with friends and loved driving, and was great at knowing her way around the area.

She was also preceded in death by a daughter, Jacci Buscoe in 2005; as well as a brother, William Wynn Jr.; and three sisters, Evelyn Lennick, Esther Kavalich and Donna Kime.

Gay's family was the center of her life. Those surviving her include her daughter, Kathy (Michael) Wagoner of Warsaw; four stepchildren, Linda (Robert) Brooks of Granger, Phillip (Sherri) Lord of Granger, Bruce (Dhana Eby) Lord of Mishawaka, and Patty (Larry) Gabbard of Granger; a brother, Keenan (Carol) Wynn of South Bend; 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
