Lyndagayle Norman Daniels

Lyndagayle Daniels was called home to the Kingdom of Heaven on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 in Denham Springs, LA at the age of 83. She was born in Vicksburg, MS on March 7, 1941 to the parents of Lee Frederick Norman and Laura Russell Norman. She was Married to Robert Montgomery Daniels (Bob) for 51 yrs. until he was called home in 2012. She is survived by her 2 sons Lane Daniels (wife Loralee Daniels) of Houston, TX, Lee Daniels of Knoxville, TN and her grandson Alec Montgomery Lee Daniels. She was an accomplished Seamstress and Artisan. Starting at the age of three she was enrolled in Amanda Swett’s School of Dance in Vicksburg, MS, where tap, ballet, jazz, tumbling, body expression and point were taught and continued through high school and college. During these formative years training in dance, piano, voice and sewing was foremost because of the close connection to her grandmother who taught her to design and construct dance garments beginning at age four. At Graduation from highschool she also received diplomas from the Design Schools in Paris, London, and Rome. She was recruited for the New York City Ballet, but chose to attend Louisiana State University where she was a member of the Dance Team and did choreography, costume design and construction. But this experience was empty. She began to inquire of the Lord about his plan for her life and trusted him. At LSU she met her future husband, Robert Daniels. They met on October 13th. Three months later he proposed and thirteen months later, on January 29th, 1961 they married. Bob was commissioned into the U.S. Army on Monday, graduated on Tuesday and they were married on the following Sunday. On May 8th they entered military life for the next twenty-nine years, and during this time she designed and constructed custom clothing for Hutzler’s of Baltimore and Lord & Taylor of Washington D.C. God opened a door for her later into writing and directing plays within the churches and forming liturgical dance teams. Lyndagayle lived a full life, loved her family and loved Jesus with all her heart. She had many other accomplishments, but the most important to her was making an impact for Jesus Christ. She was focused on the eternal and spent much of her time pouring all that she had learned from God’s word, and from the many talents and giftings she had, into the lives of so many people. Her sewing was just one of the numerous gifts God used to minister to people through her. She was a mighty warrior for Christ and did everything with excellence. Lyndagayle was a wonderful example of Titus 2:3-4 where the older women are to teach the younger women, and she did it well. She fought the good fight of faith, ran the race, stayed the course and without a doubt has heard the words, “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” She will be greatly missed by those whose lives she touched. Visitation will be from 3:00PM-4:00PM Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Greenwell Springs Baptist Church, Greenwell Springs, LA with the service immediately following.
