Gail was a wonderful, loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend to all. Many benefited from her care during her 50 years as a physical therapist in the Milwaukee and Madison area.  Family and friends enjoyed her warm hospitality, musical and creative gifts, cards, smiles, conversations and festive holiday celebrations.

Her family extends grateful thanks to the staff and residents of Azura Memory Care in Stoughton and Heartland Country Village in Black Earth who provided her with loving care and became family to her.

Gail's life is one to be celebrated, and as a believer in Jesus Christ, so is her homegoing! We will celebrate Gail's life with family and friends at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, Gail's family will donate memorial gifts received to McFarland Senior Outreach (www.mcfarland.wi.us/senioroutreach) and Blackhawk Senior Care Ministry( www.blackhawkchurch.org/connect/adults/seniors/).
