Gayle Rae (Dabell) Terry

Gayle Rae DaBell Terry, 78, of Iona, passed away October 1, 2019, at her home. She was under the care of her loving family and Aspen Home Health & Hospice.

Gayle Rae was born September 2, 1941, in Rigby, Idaho, to Gale Albert DaBell and Nola Rae Johnson DaBell. She grew up and attended schools in Rigby and St. Anthony, graduating from South Fremont High School. She also attended beauty college and was one credit short of graduation, but decided to get married instead.

On April 28, 1960, she married Dale Ernest Terry in the Idaho Falls Temple. To this union were born four children, Kathryn, Michael, Christine, and Todd. Gayle Rae and Dale made their home in Arizona and Idaho Falls, Idaho, where Gayle Rae was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.

She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various positions. She worked in the Idaho Falls Temple for 17 years. She enjoyed spending time with her family, going to the movies and drives with her friends, and trips to Arizona. Her biggest accomplishment was to give a hug to everyone she met.
