Gayle was born on July 3, 1933 to Guy and Ida Lindberg in Arnegard, ND. where she spent her early childhood. The family moved to Glasgow where she finished her schooling.

Gayle and Floyd were married July 19, 1958 in Glasgow. They moved to the airport addition in Wolf Point then had kids and Floyd worked on the family farm south of the Missouri River. Gayle raised her two young children (Celia and Larry), while working as the secretary at Frontier School. After the tragic loss of her two children, she was blessed with son Kendall almost 3 years to the day later. During this time, she concentrated on her business as a Shaklee product distributor.
Gayle was seen on a number of occasions flagging for Floyd as he performed aerial spraying. She also returned to work at Lorene’s for a while. She enjoyed attending church, being involved with Bible study and singing in the choir. She took pride in being selected the Queen of Montana Flying Farmers.
