    Antoinette Gay Oct 17, 1981
    Antoinette Guernsey Gay, a former Pacific Grove resident and a reporter for several years for The Herald, died in Puyallup, Wash., after a prolonged illness Oct. 17. She was 87.
    Mrs. Gay was active in newspaper work for 39 years, from 1925 when she became a reporter on the then Peninsula Daily Herald until 1964 when she and her husband, Milus Gay, also a former Herald reporter, sold their interest in a weekly newspaper in Buckley, Wash., and retired. The couple published the Monterey Trader, a weekly newspaper, from 1933 to 1954.
    Mrs. Gay was brought by her mother, Mary Bryant Guernsey, as a little girl from Chicago to Pacific Grove, where she attended elementary and high schools.
    Mrs. Gay was a member of the Pacific Grove High girls basketball team that won a tri-county championship in 1911, and was described as a “jumping center” on the team. She also wrote the words and music for Pacific Grove High’s school song, “All Hail, Pacific Grove.”
    After high school, Mrs. Gay was a social worker for the Child Welfare Society on the lower East Side of New York City. When she returned to Pacific Grove after World War I, Mrs. Gay taught a private kindergarten class, filling a need not provided then by public schools.
    In 1933, she and her husband started the Monterey Trader, which got its name from the “trade warrants” issued by the city of Monterey as a means of financing unemployment relief.
    In 1941, she wrote a condensed history of the Presidio of Monterey from 1770 to 1940 for the city of Monterey.
    She was elected to the Monterey County Democratic Central Committee in 1936. Two years later, she was appointed to the state Democratic Central Committee.
    Mrs. Gay is survived by her husband; a son, Henry G. Gay of Shelton, Wash.; and daughters, Antoinette G. Korngold of Palo Alto and Beverly Gage of Buckley, Wash.; 12 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
    A son, Air Force Maj. Bryant G. Gay, died in the crash of a B-52 bomber in 1956.
    Private memorial services have been held in Buckley. Cremated remains will be buried in the family plot of her husband’s great-grandfather in El Carmelo Cemetery in Pacific Grove.

    Notes:

    Beverly Gay Gage passed away peacefully on November 28, 2021 in her home overlooking South Prairie and Mt. Rainier that she designed sixty years ago. Beverly was born July 15, 1928 in Wheatland, Wyoming to Milus and Antoinette Gay. The youngest of four children, she grew up in Monterey and Pacific Grove, California, and graduated as Valedictorian from Monterey Union High School in 1946. While attending the University of California at Berkeley, she met and married Louis Gage in 1948. They moved to Buckley, Washington in 1952, where Louis was co-owner and editor of the Buckley News Banner. In 1965, they started Buckley Real Estate Service, and she worked as the business bookkeeper until they retired in 1986.
    During those years, Beverly was active in the community as a member of the Ida Marge Orthopedic Guild, the Women’s Musical and Literary Society, and the Buckley Library Board. In 1972, she was appointed to the Pierce County Library Board of Trustees and advocated for partnerships with municipal libraries to build new facilities and expand and improve services, resulting in new library buildings in Buckley, Bonney Lake, Sumner and many other communities. In 1986, Beverly was appointed to an exploratory committee formed to plan expansion of the University of Washington into downtown Tacoma. That effort resulted in the opening of the Tacoma branch campus (UWT) in 1997.
    Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Louis, their daughter, Laurie Richardson, her brothers Bryant Gay and Henry Gay, and her sister, Antoinette Gay Korngold. Beverly is survived by her children Nancy Chennault (Jim), Cliff Gage (Debbie), Tim Gage, and Wendy Shook (Pete), thirteen grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
