Sister Etta Mae Webb Gay

  Funeral services were held Monday, Jan. 22, 2001, at Bright Star
Baptist Church in Florien, with interment following at Pilgrim
Star Cemetery, under the direction of Winnfield Funeral Home. The
Rev. Bruce E. Garner officiated.

  Sister Gay was born on Jan. 12, 1912, to Mr. Augusta (Cap) Webb,
and Mrs. Millie Farris Webb. She departed this life Jan. 17,
2001, at IHS South, Many. She was married to the late Mack Gay on
June 6, 1928, and to that union no children were born. She was
the oldest of four children; two preceded her in death, Earnest
(Son) Webb, Sr., and Earl Lee (Red) Webb.

  Sister Gay was converted and baptized at an early age. She
united with the Bright Star Baptist Church in 1928, after moving
to the Florien community. She served faithfully in this local
body, as church clerk for over 50 years, mission president for 45
years, and numerous other auxiliaries, as well as district
offices.

  Sister Gay was a lovable character, a person everyone chose to
have as a friend, and willing to be a friend to all. She leaves
to mourn her passing, a devoted and loving sister, Mrs. Mildred
McClanahan of Florien; a caring and attentive nephew, David
McClanahan of Florien; two very special nieces, Louise Harris of
Texas City, Texas, and Loretha Johnson of Dallas, Texas; and a
host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
