Gail Ann Sebastian
2/29/1956 - 6/21/2014
On Saturday June 24th, 2014 my Gail Ann Sebastian passed peacefully and painlessly from this earth to be with her sweet Jesus. She was at home in Richwood and we were holding hands. She was born on February 29, 1956 in Dayton, OH, and was with us a short 58 years.
She was preceded in death by her Mom (Mary Sebastian) and Dad (A.C. Sebastian - who was a decorated war veteran). They lived in Florida. She is survived by her sister Patricia (Sissy) Flora of Prumaan, Ark. She is also survived by me, her hubby, Pat Wade of Richwood, TX. Not to mention her multitude of friends and adopted family, especially her little sis Cherie Guillory and her kids of Katy TX, and the additional kids added by our union: Erin and Kent Booke and Molly and Taylor Wade of Dallas, TX. The most favorite of all of us is her new grandbaby Samuel Leo Booke. She could not get enough of his face, voice and laughter.
This sweet and strong soul was always the Mama that could take someone in turmoil, sorrow or grief and bring them comfort to help ease the pain. She was with the Diamond Offshore family for 13 years taking care of her "hairy legged little boys" (rig managers).
After she left Diamond, this continued, in her service to her community in Richwood, TX, in helping the Richwood Police Department. This began when she and her hubby brought enough barbeque to feed the entire police and city staff during the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, knowing that they had worked for two to three days with little to no break. A few of the officers were so overwhelmed by her generosity, they broke down in tears, and in her wonderful style some of you remember, she gave kind words and big hugs. The "Feed our Buds" has become and shall remain a yearly tradition for years to come.
She loved and supported our folks in Galveston as we were repairing and rebuilding the Port of Galveston Piers. She would make the ride along for the night time concrete pours to make sure all was safe.
Everyone who knew her will remember the love, laughter, kindness and willingness to help others.
We cannot express in words the appreciation we have for our friends at Helping Hands and Hearts Hospice. Thank you folks for everything you did to help my Gail Ann. You are truly angels on this earth and you will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.
There will be a memorial service on Friday, July 11th, 2014, at 10:00 A.M. at the Richwood City Hall, 1800 N. Brazosport Blvd., Richwood, Texas.
