Gailya "Gail" E. Faulkner

of Little Rock, AR

December 2, 1926 - May 26, 2017

Gailya E. "Gail" Faulkner, 90, of Little Rock passed away on May 26, 2017. She was born on December 2, 1926 to the late Earl and Ola Cravens Ewing in Scranton, Arkansas. Gail was preceded in death by her beloved husband Amos J. Faulkner, her sister Wanda Hoopes, and her brother Lindel Cravens Ewing. She and A.J. were married in Chicago, Illinois in 1947.

Gail is survived by her son Gary R. Faulkner (Margaret), grandchildren Andrew B. Faulkner (Jenny), Adam E. Faulkner (Stacey) and Betsy Abbott (Matt). She is also survived by her seven wonderful great-grandchildren, Libby, Ava, Crews, Kate and Meg Faulkner and Amelia and Bo Abbott. Gail leaves behind her beloved sisters, Ann Bone (Bob) of Baton Rouge, LA and Neva O'Brien of Hot Springs, AR and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She volunteered at St. Vincent's Hospital for 12 years and was a member of its Auxiliary for over 20 years. She also volunteered at the Arkansas Art Center for many years. She was a lifelong Methodist and attended St. Paul UMC beginning in 1957.

"My happiest times were spent being at Gary and Margaret's house with all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids."

If angels do indeed walk on Earth, Gail was surely one of them.

Gary and Margaret & Family.. We were so heartbroken to hear of Aunt Gailya's passing. I prayed we would see each other one last time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. She looked so much like Grandmother Ewing that it was like we still had a piece of her with us. God bless you all.

We send our deepest condolences to the Faulkners upon losing Granny. She was a joy to all who knew her. We were fortunate to call her sister and aunt and will cherish the many wonderful memories of our family through the years. She will certainly be missed. She was very proud of all of you.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
