Gayle McCaffrey's Obituary
Gayle Linder McCaffrey, age 79, of Rehoboth Beach, DE passed away on Friday, February 9, 2024, at The Moorings at Lewes. She was born on October 30, 1944, in Cleveland, OH, daughter of the late William and Virginia Cross.
Gayle spent most of her life in Alexandria, VA where she owned and operated Property Management Associates for over 20 years. She also was an established and well-respected real estate agent in the area. Gayle loved listening to music, her books and crystals, and sticking her toes in the sand at the beach. She and her longtime friends began The Women’s Group years back that met for monthly lunches and zoom calls to lean on and support each other through life's ups and downs.
Above all else, Gayle loved her family and spending time with them. Gayle was a strong, independent, hardworking woman whose kind spirit will be missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Gayle was preceded in death by her sister Carole Jeanne Cross and her husband, Richard "Dick" McCaffrey. She is survived by two children: Sarah R. Linder and Adam M. Linder (Terry Isner); three stepchildren: Kellie Meehan (Brian), Matthew McCaffrey, and Adam McCaffrey; nine grandchildren: Olivia, Savannah, Erica, Kayla, Morgan, Michael, Sean, Tayler, and Brigid “Birdie”; and three great grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be set at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.
