She was born on Nov 19, 1927 in Cedartown, Georgia. She was the daughter of the late Andrew Franklin Gaylor and Hattie Mae McInvale Gaylor.
Mom, MeMe, really enjoyed taking trips with her family. We always got together to eat for everyone’s birthday and it was always the birthday one’s choice. Her favorite place to eat was Olive Garden where she got the chicken gnocchi soup. She would pick out the dumplings and eat the rest of the soup.
She delighted when her two great-granddaughters came the night before Thanksgiving to help prepare dishes. She loved going gambling, especially the slot machines. Her favorite music was country and gospel. Our mom, meme loved watching game shows and doing word searches. She was a fighter up to the end.
