Gail belonged to the Baptist faith and was a Christian. She spent more than 30 years working in home health as a committed caregiver. Most recently, she launched her own company, Gail’s Services for the Elderly, realizing a longstanding desire. Numerous lives were impacted by her kindness, tolerance, and desire to serve others.
The source of Gail’s greatest happiness was her family, particularly her grandchildren, who brought her the most joy. She loved baking, camping, taking cruises, caring for animals, gardening, and decorating for the holidays. She also loved spending time with her family. Everyone who knew her loved her for her generosity, warmth, and kindness. We will miss her terribly.
