Gay worked at Bissette's, a downtown Greenville department store to pay for her tuition at East Carolina Teachers College, now East Carolina University. Graduating with an Education Degree, she began her teaching career in Rocky Mount and then Kinston. But when her one true love returned from the U.S. Navy, she married L. B.

After two children, they moved to Washington, NC where Gay continued her 30-year career with the Washington City Schools at John Cotten Tayloe as a third and fourth grade English teacher. Later Gay had her third child and her love for children and education continued past the classroom to local libraries as special guest and author of poetry and tall tales.
