Addie Elizabeth Gay was born on November 22, 1952, to the late Hattie Sharpe Gay in Lowndes County, Georgia. She departed this life on Saturday, March 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and service.

Addie was a proud graduate of the Lowndes County School Class of 1971 and continued her education at Wiregrass Technical College, where she earned her certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). At an early age, she joined Riverhill Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. T. H. Williams. Addie's faith was the cornerstone of her life; she dedicated herself to serving the Lord through various roles including financial secretary, Assistant Sunday School Secretary, and active involvement in the Youth Department. Her unwavering commitment to her church family remained steadfast until her passing.

Addie retired from Levi Strauss and Company, where she was known for her strong work ethic and kindness to her colleagues. She was preceded in death by her mother, Hattie S. Gay; her brother, Eddie B. Sharpe; and her sister, Johnnie Mae Johnson.

Addie is survived by her three loving daughters, Jennifer (Jason) Lewis, Kimberly Strickland, and Crystal Berry and Tina Williams, like a daughter; two devoted sons, Timothy Gay, Sr. (Marva) and Gregory Gay; a caring sister, Susie Donaldson; and a devoted brother, William Lloyd Gay, Sr. She was a proud grandmother to twelve grandchildren: Tevin, Tyler, Jamal, Jerene, Allie, Journey, Shaquasha, Timothy, Jr., Tyberious, Octavious, Nevada, and Grayson, as well as four great-grandchildren: Caiden, Solar, Storm, and Blaise. Additionally, she leaves behind a host of loving and caring nieces, nephews, cousins, and sorrowing friends, along with her beloved Riverhill Church family.
