Gail was awesome! Fun to be around, kind and loyal. I’ll never forget the time Michelle and I were at an event and Gail was there watching my youngest child, maybe two months old. I don’t like strangers holding my baby and I said if someone tries to hold her, please make sure they’re “on the list” first. 
About an hour later Gail comes up, saying this woman wants to hold the baby, is she okay? I looked and saw my mother-in-law coming up to join us.  I had forgotten to tell Gail she would be there and was “on the list.” I knew then and there Gail was one of my favorite people. She didn’t care who was involved, she said she’d do something, and she did.  The phrase, on the list, became the running joke when ever I saw her from that point forward. 
I will miss you Gail, and I hope that when my time comes to leave this world and go on to the next, I will see you at the gate standing next to our Lord telling him, Hey, she’s on the list!

Gail was my Godmother. I couldn’t have asked for a better one. She was always so sweet and kind and had a great sense of humor. She cut the cake for us at our wedding. So honored that she was a part of our special day. I always enjoyed Mike and Gail. They were so much fun and lit up every room.  I have memories of them laughing with Grandma and Grandpa. 
They will both be missed. Glad they are together again. Much love to each of you!

I remember one year at the labor day reunion at the farm that Gail and Garrah Lea  got in the mud and boy did they have fun in it.

Gail and Mike came to our house, Eldon and Shelley's, for the rodeo.  They came and ate at The Chubby Pickle were I worked to eat lunch then we watched the parade.  They usually stayed at the motel a few blocks away and Gail and Mae Keef would walk the dog over to our house and then after awhile they would walk the dog back and then we would all go to the rodeo.  
  Gail would also do a face time with her granddaughter.  Then she and Mae would have a good chat.
Gail loved all the kids and always took time with them.  

Gail and Eldon would always send birthday wishes to each other as their birthdays were close together.



Gail was a very special lady.  She was a hard worker. Her family is a testament to her hard work and her love. We had a lot of fun together especially laughing and eating  pie in the bathroom. She will be missed.

What a wonderfully strong lady and friend! When we met over 32 years ago, I never would have imagined where our life journeys would intersect.
Mamer's kindness and generosity showed in everything she did. She would come over Sunday mornings to take Leah and myself to church, because her van could accommodate Leah's wheelchair. We were always invited to lunch afterwards.
Gail once painted my bathroom in less than an hour, with out a sign of paint on the fixtures or herself.
She and Mike helped Paul and myself out so much through the years, we'll always have a special place in our hearts for them. 
I cherish the time we had this last year: daily devotions,coloring, looking through photo albums, watching TV and a lot of talking through laughter and tears.
I have so much respect for the way you sisters pulled together to give your Mom the quality of life she deserved. She was surrounded with love.

I never heard the “T” in Auntie.  So, I always called her Annie Gail.  So much time had passed that Auntie didn’t seem right.  So, regardless of what I knew, Annie just seemed right. 

Annie Gail was so progressive that she had a bottomless purse decades before Hermione Grainger in Harry Potter showed us hers.  Annie Gail had all the good stuff in her purse to keep us kids quite when it was inappropriate for kids to be heard.  She always had gum, pen and paper and other fascinating things. 
 
I used to stay with the family during school breaks.  Everybody wanted to go to McDonald’s for dinner and they were so excited to go.  Annie Gail found me on the couch crying.  I hated McDonald’s.  Annie Gail quickly learned she was in a situation.  Quick on her feet, she asked if I would go if she packed a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for me to eat (my favorite food because I was a picky eater).  Absolutely! That changed my mind immediately.  Not only was she offering my favorite food, but she also always had the best kind of jelly. Imagine the looks we received from the patrons of McDonald’s when she pulled out a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich for me while everybody else had their hamburgers and French fries.  
 
Annie Gail was always my guiding light in life.  I strived to live my life by her example.  She was a solid Christian, she helped those in need and was always there for a laugh and a hug.  

I will forever wear red and think of you. Love you always.

Gail served as my de facto in-state mother when I really needed her. My friendship with Kelly was reason enough for Gail to welcome me in for any and all occasions, including way too many sleepovers and dinners as well as random afternoons. l and etc…

Looking back now, I realize she  may have thought of me as akin to a homeless cat — not really needed by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s simple enough to provide it endless food and a box to play in, so why not? But the thing is, if she did feel this way, it never once showed. I felt nothing but warmth and consideration from her at all times. She was a gem. 

What better tribute to Gail’s motherhood skills could there be, than watching her three daughters take such superlative care of her for these past several years? I know exactly where they learned it, and I’m so impressed by and proud of them for the job they did together for this great lady. Well done, daughters. 

Here’s to Gail and Mike’s first hug and kiss together in a few years. I’m sure he’s built up quite a bit of a mess, awaiting Gail’s magic wand. Godspeed, and we will miss you both fondly.

To the Felton Family,
You have our deepest sympathy.  We loved Gail. She was quick witted and had a great sense of humor. She was a savvy, successful business woman.  We will always appreciate everything she and Mike did to help build our business.  They both will be truly missed!
Ron and Kristy Meining. 

Our deepest condolences to your family and friends.
Janie and Solomon 

So many memories it is hard to pick one. Gail you have been my sister by another mother, friend, amigo and buddy for 50 plus years. 
Having a cup of coffee will bring thoughts of how many cups we shared. Opening a cereal box will remind me that you could eat cereal anytime. Looking at Kelly will remind me of that scary evening that she was born. I could go on and on. I will miss you dearly-until we meet again. Love Bonnie 

As a little girl, I always felt so much love from your momma 🤍 she treated me no differently than her other grandkids. Both your mom and Jim’s mom were always so warm, kind, gentle and so loving. She always had a smile on her face and waved at me and would come over to say hi when she saw me playing outside. Once, she made us chocolate milk and told us she put extra chocolate in it just for us and it was our secret! Jim’s mom made the BEST cookie bars that I still think about to this day! When she found out how much I loved them, she came over the next day with a plate of them for me! As a little girl who had all her grandparents living out of state, having grandmas stop by next door and show me some Grammy lovin’ meant more to me than they probably ever knew. Your mom showed me nothing but grandma love 🤍 Im so sorry for the loss of your momma, Kelly. I hope all your wonderful memories of her and your dad help you during this difficult time. Sending you all my love 🤍🤍

The Felton house was like my second home growing up.  The warm and happy home that Gail and Mike provided was noticed and appreciated by everyone who entered.  Back then, Gail handled our (only occasional!) teenage bratty-ness with grace and humor.  Of all my friends, she was my favorite mom by far -always so easy to talk to and laugh with.   I will carry so many wonderful memories of her both old and recent.  Gail was one of a kind, loved by many including myself, and will be greatly missed. Bob and I send our deepest sympathy to the entire Felton/ Foley family.  

We are so sorry to have lost our next door neighbor. Gail & Mike were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. They did a lot of favors for us and were such good friends. They will be missed by all of the Docheffs. I hope you girls know how much we loved your folks. We will always be here to help you any way we can.
 Our deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
Judy & Jim Docheff
