Gay, AnneLouise (Congdon)
, age 76, died peacefully on Sunday morning, December 13, 2009, at her Medway home.
Born in Millis on May 31, 1933, she was a daughter of the late Thomas A. and Ophelia (Steadman) Congdon. She was a 1951 graduate of Millis High School and was married to Clarence O. “Buddy” Gay, Jr. in 1953. The couple settled in Medway where they made a loving home for their growing family.
AnneLouise retired in 1998 after being employed for many years as a bookkeeper with the Medway Cooperative Bank. She was a devoted member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Quinobequin Chapter, for 56 years and a former member of the Rainbow Girls, West Medway Assembly #63. A great cook who enjoyed hooking rugs, AnneLouise is most remembered as the warm and giving heart of her family.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by seven children, Thomas A. Gay (Kathleen) of Medway, Timothy A. Gay (Vicki) of Norfolk, Cheryl A. Gay of Medway, Candace G. White (Ted) of Barrington, NH, Ted A. Gay (Cheryl) of Medway, Cara A. Lazarra (Matthew) of Deerfield, WI, and Christy A. Tisdale (Edward) of Wakefield; fourteen grandchildren, Adam, Andy, Leanne, Stacey, Sara, Carly, Everett, Courtney, Emma, Abigail, Noah, Clara, Jane, and Simon; two great-grandsons, Ethan and Ayden; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her daughter, Cindy A. Teed, in 1988.
A private family funeral is planned. If desired, donations may be made in AnneLouise’s memory to the Greater Boston Masonic Learning Center, 458 Newtonville Ave., Newtonville, MA 02460.

Uncle Buddy,Tom,Tim,Cheryl,Candy,Ted,Cara, Christy,all your spouses,and grandchildren-
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to you all.
What a wonderful, remarkable woman. I loved and admired Aunt Anne Louise so much. In my marriage and in my role as a mother I have always reflected back on what I learned and witnessed from Aunt Anne Louise and you Uncle Buddy. Family! Not only did she take care of you all but she took care of her extended family as well--what a warm, generous, caring and loving person. I will treasure the times I was able to share with such a fantastic woman who I learned so much from. Aunt Anne Louise played a very large part in who I am today and I will ever be blessed for all that she gave to me.
We send our love and prayers to you all.

To continue down the pathway of life without our loved one at our side is truly hard; it seems as if the whole world has collapsed and the way that once looked bright and cheery suddenly appears dark and gloomy; but the same heavenly Father who sent his conforting love to each of us will give to our Sister strength to continue, secure in the knowledge that "death is but the beginning of life."
Somewhere back of the sunset,
Where loveliness never dies,
She lives in a land of glory,
'Mid the blue and gold of the skies.
And we, who have known and loved her
Whose passing has brought sad tears,
Will cherish her memory always
To brighten the passing years. |

To Buddy and all the family,
What a shock when I heard of Anne Louise's passing. We met as Rainbow Girls many years ago and enjoyed a wonderful friendship ever since. We laughed together and cried together. We shared many interests and I always looked forward to seeing her when ever I got back to Medway. I will miss her.
Bob and I send our deepest sympathy and want you to know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
