Momma Gayle: Love, Legacy, and Lasting Impact | Amarillo News

Gayle Ruth Noble Funk, beloved matriarch and community pillar, passed away at 85, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and selfless service. A devoted homemaker who raised eight children and became “Mom” to generations through her work at Toot-N-Totum and later as a mother figure to men at Victory Outreach Men’s Home, Gayle lived with boundless warmth. Her life was marked by quiet heroism—baking birthday cakes, teaching Sunday School, leading mission trips, and storing her vast book collection in fifty-five-gallon drums to share with family. Remembered for her contagious smile, wise counsel, and fierce devotion, she is survived by dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with her family calling Darrell and Sidona Rogers “her angels.” Her memorial service honored a life that touched countless hearts.
