Gale Fay Belt Vickers, 62, of Mount Dora, Florida, passed away Saturday, November 6, 2021. She leaves two children, Joshua Aaron Vickers and Rebecca Renee Vickers, to celebrate her life. She was the daughter of Rupert (1930-2013) and Dorothy Perdue Belt (1930-1995). Sisters Brenda Belt Overall (Steve) of Woodbridge, VA and Ellen Belt Taylor (David) of Clarksville, TN attended her final hours as she went to her eternal reward with Jesus. Gale was a kindergarten teacher at Eccleston Elementary School in Orlando, Florida. She loved working with young children and teaching them to read. Her classroom incorporated a joy of learning, with song and books that led to success and improvement. She loved her principal, Angela Feliciano, and her teammates Abigail Hernandez and Carol Torres, along with summer partner Gregory Chandler. She enjoyed stopping by to chat with office staff Jackie Barton and snagging a daily Almond Joy.
A former colleague from Houston, Texas, Sharon Atwood, wrote: “She was such a gifted teacher. I had been teaching almost ten years when I had my first child. I stayed home one year and came back to the same school. I had to teach first grade, which was new to me. Gale took me and two other brand new teachers and we planned together. She was so creative and FUN. We always said “Big Fun” to each other. I would have never survived first grade with a new baby at home without her. We have been friends ever since. That was in 1988. We always said we would teach next door to each other in heaven.”
