Gay Carol Furbee

Gay Carol Furbee, 81, of Port Arthur, died Saturday, June 12, 2021. She was born September 27, 1939, in Nederland to Ruby and Robert Greenberg.

Gay was a graduate of Nederland High School and Lamar State College as a certified radiologist. She worked in Beaumont and Houston as a Lab Technician for twenty-five years. Gay met the love of her life, Jim Furbee, while working in Houston. They enjoyed thirty-seven years of traveling together and attending church, family, and social gatherings.

Gay was a people-person and could spend hours visiting, laughing, and interacting. She looked forward to playing dominoes with Golden Friends at church and Rose Place. One of her favorite activities was going out to eat with friends and family. Yard work, exercising, and shopping were her favorite past times. Gay’s “Love of Life” personality had a tendency to light up the room wherever she was present.

Survivors include her nieces, Dr. Michelle Anson and husband, Dr. Byron Anson, and their children, Harris, Avery, and Grant, all of San Antonio and Heather Greenberg, of Austin; and many cousins and dear friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Greenberg; husband, Jim Furbee; and brothers, Norman and Bobby Greenberg.
