Sheila's first cousin Gail was buried today. We drove down to Decatur and spent Friday night with our daughter Lillian and her husband Jordan, then drove on to Tallahassee to attend Gail's graveside service. We only stayed the one night with Sheila's brother Jimmy and wife Sally.
OBITUARY
Jean "Gail" Shuman
SEPTEMBER 7, 1933 – FEBRUARY 12, 2025
Culley's MeadowWood Funeral Home
Jean Gail was born to Carlton and Dorothy Peebles on September 7, 1933. She graduated Leon High school in 1951. She attended Charity Hospital where she earned her register nursing degree. She was the OR head nurse for W. T. Edwards Tuberculosis Hospital. She worked for Dr. Merritt Clements at his OB/GYN practice until she retired.
She was blessed with a wonderful love of her first husband Mayo Davis. They had two children, Carl Davis (Rhonda) and Lisa Revell. Mayo brought with him a sister for Carl and Lisa from a previous marriage Candie Garner (Charles). After Mayo's passing a few years later Gail was married to Clifford "Tippy" Shuman. Her family grew with Tippy's kids Sally (Lynn) Jordan, Tom (Penny) Shuman, and Ruthie Lyle. She has nine grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. She is survived by her sister Mary Morgan. Thank you Mary, for being there for your older sister. We as a family are so grateful for your love and care for your sister.
She loved doing God's work. She taught a Sunday school class for five year olds at Parkway Baptist church. She was a founding member of Parkway. She later loved serving at Morningside church. In previous months Gail enjoyed getting to see classmates from high school once a month at The Egg restaurant.
The family is so grateful to the Villas at Killearn Lakes. The Care Givers are special people and helped mom get through these last few months with dignity.
A graveside service for Gail will be held Saturday, February 15, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Roselawn Cemetery, 843 Piedmont Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32312.
In lieu of flowers please donate to the Big Bend Hospice or your preferred charity.
