Throughout her life, Gail touched the hearts of many with her creativity and kindness. She spent her days crafting art that now adorns walls all over the world. Her dedication to her craft and passion for spreading beauty through her paintings will forever be remembered.

Gail's journey was marked by her unwavering love for her family.

Her proudest accomplishment was being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother - roles she fulfilled with all the love in her heart.
