Gail Sosebee Kastner Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Gail Sosebee Kastner passed away on Monday, December 28, 2020. The immediate family will hold a private service on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, at 11:00AM. Dr. Nelson Price will officiate. Gail will be interred at Cheatham Hill Memorial Gardens next to her husband Charles Kastner. Mrs. Kastner was the youngest of nine children. Born on April 11, 1938, she grew up in Habersham County, Georgia, where she would eventually meet the love of her life, Charles. Growing up, she played basketball at North Habersham High School. She was known for her hook shot and her quickness, earning her the nickname “Speedy.” She loved to tell stories about her childhood. She also loved to sing, especially hymns. Her face would light up and she would smile from ear to ear when she was singing to her Lord, whether she was by herself or in the church choir. Cooking was something else that made her happy, and if you had the pleasure of eating anything she prepared, you would consider yourself lucky. Not just talented, she was hard-working. She ran Bethel Personal Care Home, an assisted living facility founded by the family in Powder Springs, where she years later ironically would spend her last days. She also helped her husband and sons run their small business, West Cobb Building Supply, while making sure she had her sweet husband’s corn bread on the table before he got home for dinner. Mrs. Kastner is preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Ione Sosebee; her husband, Charles Wilson Kastner; and all of her brothers and sisters. She is survived by her children Charles Michael Kastner (Stephanie) and Terry Wilson Kastner (Angela); her grandchildren, Lauren Abigail Kastner, Claire Wilson Kastner, and Jacob Lawson Underwood; her great-grandchildren Gage Eugene Croy and Charles Hans Croy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Roswell Street Baptist Church, 774 Roswell St. NE, Marietta, GA 30060. Arrangements made under the caring guidance of Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home www.mayeswarddobbins.com 770-943-1511 The service will be live streamed on mayeswarddobbins.com.
