Gay Reddig Mayl
Earlier this year, Gore Place learned that Gay Reddig Mayl, a long-time member, had included us in her trust. Mrs. Mayl left $2,000,000 to the Gore Place endowment.
In her will it states that this gift is because of "happy memories of a visit in the 1960s." Mrs. Mayl visited Gore Place with her mother when she was in her 20s. A few years later she became a lifetime member. We stayed in contact with her and over the years, she donated to our annual fund as well as to capital campaigns. Although we knew Mrs. Mayl thought fondly of Gore Place, we were amazed by the generosity of her bequest.
Gay Reddig Mayl was originally from a Cleveland suburb. After graduating from Sweet Briar College and Georgetown Law School, she returned to Ohio and worked for White Consolidated Industries. Together with her husband, Jack Mayl, she traveled the world and approached life with curiosity and humor.
This gift highlights how breathtaking Gore Place is and how visiting a wonderful place can change a person’s life. Gay Reddig Mayl’s bequest will help Gore Place grow and blossom and we will never forget how much she has helped us.
