The first of eight children, Overseer Almary Gaston was born on December 16, 1929 in Holly Brook, Louisiana to the Late Albert and Josephine Winbush. She was called to her heavenly home in the early morning of February 19, 2020 after a richly blessed and bountiful life. On October 31, 1944 Almary united in Holy Matrimony to the love of her life of 51 years, the Late Jesse T. Gaston Sr. To this union 25 children were born. She dedicated her entire life to God and her family. She raised her children to be respectful men and women. She instilled in her children to have a love for God and music. She wanted to ensure that her grandchildren were instilled with those same foundational values. She knew the importance of ministerial gifts and wanted to see them flourish throughout her family, reaching every generation. She had a love for hearing various gospel music groups that include quartet and traditional. In her words “Tough times don’t last but tough people do!” Overseer Almary Gaston accepted Christ as her personal savior at an early age in Holly Brook, LA. She was baptized at Rose Hill Baptist Church in Lake Providence, Louisiana under the leadership of the Late Pastor T.H. Turner. In 1957 Jesse Sr. prayed for a better life and more opportunities for his family to live and prosper. With the little money he had and faith in the Lord, he packed up his wife and children and headed for Las Vegas, NV. After moving to Las Vegas, NV with her family, Overseer Gaston joined the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the Late Pastor E. C. Kline. After his passing she remained a dedicated member and served in various roles under the leadership of Pastor McKinley Hardman. In 1993, she moved her membership to join her husband Deacon Jesse Gaston Sr., at Miracle Faith Temple IV under the leadership of Bishop Ernest Jefferson, where she served faithfully as an Assistant Pastor. In 1995 she was elevated to Pastor of Miracle Faith Temple IV after the departure of Bishop Ernest Jefferson. In 1997 Miracle Faith Temple IV moved its location and independently became The Anointed Tabernacle Apostolic Church where she remained the pastor. On April 1, 2018 she passed the mantle and appointed Minister Jessie M. Gaston-Neal as Pastor of Anointed Tabernacle Apostolic Church as she was elevated to Overseer until her transition to glory.
