Elizabeth “Momma Gayle” Henry, beloved mother, grandmother, and sister, peacefully passed away on November 2, 2023, at her residence in Liberty, SC at the age of 79. She was born on October 31, 1944, in Clayton, GA a daughter of the late James Lawrence and Ellie Lazelle Talley Bryson.
Elizabeth, or “Momma Gayle” as she was known to family and friends, will be forever remembered for her love of music. Her all-time favorite singer was Elvis Presley, and his soulful melodies always managed to brighten her spirits. Gayle had a fondness for adventure and embraced the wanderlust within her. Through her travels, she discovered new places, cultures, and made unforgettable memories.
Her devotion to family was exceptional. Gayle cherished every moment spent with her daughter, Sherri Wise (Rodney) of Hampton, VA, her daughter Vicki Durham (Mike) of Liberty, and her son, Kevin Henry (Susan) of Liberty. She held a special place in her heart for her grandchildren, Cynthia Jefferson (Terrell) and Steven Brooks (Geralyn), and her great granddaughter, Tatyana Jefferson. Also surviving are two sisters, Opal McCall and Mae Ivester (Dennis); two sisters-in-law, Shelby Chastain and Bonnie Bryson, and several nieces and nephews.
Gayle’s love and care knew no bounds, and she was a pillar of strength for her family.
She pursued a career in the textile industry, working diligently for Glen Raven Mills. She was a longtime member of Cannon Memorial Baptist Church in Central.
Graveside services will take place 1:00 pm Tuesday, November 7, 2023, at Golden Grove Wesleyan Church Cemetery, located at 7997 Moorefield Memorial Highway, Liberty, SC. No formal visitation is planned.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a son, Chris Henry, two sisters, Doris Hicks and Lois Hawkins, and three brothers, Homer, Wymer, and Wendell Bryson.
May her gentle soul find eternal rest and may her spirit continue to guide and inspire us.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Prisma Health Hospice of the Foothills, 390 Keowee School Road, Seneca SC 29672.
