On Tuesday, December 8, 2020, Gayla Sue Hodge, beloved daughter, sister, and aunt departed this life straight into the arms of Jesus. While we know there is great rejoicing in heaven, Earth will definitely be a little less rich without her presence.
Gayla was born on September 19, 1939 in Monahans, Texas to Quay and Faye (Kinnard) Hodge. Education was a gem highly-prized by Gayla and strong instructional starts were established for her at McWhorter Elementary School and Matthews Junior High. She graduated from Tom S. Lubbock High School on May 31, 1958 and was always a proud Westerner. Subsequent degrees were earned including Associate in Arts from Lubbock Christian College on May 27, 1960; Bachelor of Arts from Harding College on May 31, 1962; and a Master’s of Education from Texas Tech University on August 25, 1973.
Gayla started her teaching career at New Home Junior High School and later moved to Sundown where she taught junior high school students for thirty years. Her heart and soul found their niche in this little oil-field community, where her door was always open to students and families. Gayla was a phenomenal teacher of reading and writing, cheerleader sponsor, UIL coach and an ever-present fan at Roughneck sporting events. It was truly an honor to have Miss Hodge for a teacher and she even taught multiple generations within some families. During her tenure there, life-long bonds of friendship were forged among students, families, colleagues and fellow Christians from Sundown Church of Christ.
A fiery redhead with a rippling laugh, Gayla was devoted to family, faith and sports. When she was still living in Sundown, the family couldn’t wait to have her back in Lubbock, even it was just for part of a weekend. She enjoyed cooking for others and her French toast, banana pudding and sourdough bread were the highlight of many family gatherings. Gayla was instrumental in supporting her nieces and their children in a variety of ways ranging from helping to buy wedding dresses to sending them off on school or mission trips. At the age of twelve, Gayla was baptized into Christ at Colgate Church of Christ and spent a lifetime as a faithful servant. She was the epitome of Philippians 2:3, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” Gayla taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and for many years, helped lead others to Christ through her work with World Bible School. From an early age, watching sports was a favorite pastime for Gayla. She knew the rules of football and basketball inside and out. For many years, Gayla attended every Lady Raider Basketball game with her crew of family and friends, which involved arriving well-before tip-off and remaining through the “Matador Song,” win or lose. In more recent years, she could be found cheering on the Lady Chaps.
Gayla was preceded in death by her parents, Faye and Quay Hodge, and grandnephew, Chandler Curtis. She is survived by her sisters, Phyllis Williams (Don) and Jane Brock of Lubbock (Joe); her nieces, Kristi Curtis (Todd), Keri Morphew, Rebecca Cave (Matthew), Amanda Farrell (Chris), and Susan Cox (Andrew); and fourteen grandnieces and grandnephews.
