It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Gayle Littlejohn, a former Executive Director for The Arc of Buncombe County. She brought The Arc of Buncombe to the forefront due to her passion and dedication to it. Education, social enrichment, and equal rights were essential to her commitment to children and adults with disabilities. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
