Gayle McCullough (nee Hoare)

December 12, 1947 – June 3, 2025

Smiling person with long hair wearing a white shirt.

It is with deep sadness that we announce Gayle McCullough (nee Hoare) passed away on June 3rd, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Gayle’s legacy lives on through her dedicated husband, Grant, her beloved children Tracey (Jeff) and Rob (Christa), and her four cherished grandchildren, Katie, Alyssa, Mikaela, and Ryder, who were her pride and joy. Her unshakable positivity, kind-heartedness, and strength will continue to inspire them.

Gayle is also mourned by her siblings: Allan (Joanne), Donna (Elio), Norm (Rosanne), Mary (Bill), and Rick (Mira), as well as many nieces and nephews who were very special to her.

Gayle was a beautiful soul, both inside and out. She had a rare gift—the ability to see the best in others. Her friendly smile, unwavering compassion, and quiet strength touched everyone she met.

She found true happiness in bringing her family together, whether for a holiday, celebration, or simple meal. Her home was always a place of warmth, laughter, and belonging.

Gayle faced life’s challenges with resilience and grace. Her spirit will live on in the memories we hold, the stories we tell, and the love we continue to share.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date to honor her life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Providing Safe Refuge and Support – Gillian’s Place or Lung Cancer Canada in her name.

Gayle will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Basic Funerals.
