Gale D. Hopkinson

Gale Douglas (Gee) Hopkinson, 84 of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida passed away on November 24, 2024.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother. A beautiful woman with a lovely wry sense of humor who cared passionately for those she loved. A blessing full of grace, wisdom and dignity. She was always there for us and she always listened. She appreciated the beauty of the natural world, both the mountains and the ocean and doted on all the family pets throughout the years.

Born in Ashland, Kentucky on November 5, 1940, Gale was the daughter of Raymond Gee and Hope Moore Gee. She grew up and went to high school in Ashland, attended University of Kentucky and then went on to work for the US Forest Service, living in Oregon, Vermont and Kentucky again before retiring and spending the last 20 years in Florida to be close to her family.

She is survived by her daughter Carolyn (Cara) Spaulding, granddaughter Kyla Spaulding and son-in-law John Spaulding all of Ponte Vedra Beach. She will be dearly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings, Raymond and Susan.

We find solace in the memories we shared with her and carry the joy of her life and presence in our hearts. 

May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love that she gave her family during her time here with us and His even greater love for her.

A Celebration of Life will be held by the beach at a later date.
