This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Gayle Geisendorff, 55, born on May 20, 1962 and passed away on May 23, 2017. We will remember her forever. 

This is a little about our Mom and what made her so special to us:

One of the things that everyone knows about our mom was that she was an outstanding cook just like her mom. Her house was no place to be on a diet. Our favorites were her chicken fried steak, chicken teriyaki, fried pork chops, and most of all her orange dreamsicle cupcakes.

Her love for animals was undeniable. From the time we were kids she would rescue any animal in sight. We often joke that she loved her dog Banjo more than her own kids.

In her days when she worked as a paralegal, she was one of the best, locking down jobs with top attorneys throughout Houston. She was so revered that many of her past employers wrote letters of recommendation for her after she left. My mom was a very intelligent woman. You couldn’t get anything past her.

She enjoyed watching reality tv shows along with playing spades. She was a lover of all types of music but especially country music. Her favorite long time hobbies were bowling and also going to Louisiana to gamble. Some of our fondest memories were at the bowling alley with our grandparents and Uncle Steve.

And what she loved most of all was her family. Family get togethers were what made her the happiest. From birthday parties at Nino and Pawpaw’s house to hanging out at the softball field she cherished any time she had with her loved ones. Her husband Ken stood by her through thick and thin and never wavered. His dedication and loyalty to her was a testament to the love that they shared. 

We miss her so much and know that she is looking down on us!
