Gale O. Wilson, 84, a resident of Panama City Beach, FL, passed away on October 6, 2021, from natural causes.

Gale was born on May 4, 1937 in Green Pond, Alabama, to the late Daniel Edward Oglesby and the late Ruby Ereline Calloway.  She was a 1955 graduate of Bessemer High School.  After graduation she enlisted in the Women's Army Core (WAC) and attained the rank of Sergeant.  She earned an Associate Degree in Accounting from Albany Junior College.  Gale finally fulfilled her dream of moving to the beach in 1981 and shortly thereafter opened her own successful accounting business, Gale Wilson Accounting Services.  This is where she spent the rest of her working career before selling her business and retiring in 2016. She was a member of St Andrews Episcopal Church.
