Gail Elizabeth Lehman

Gail Elizabeth Scott was born on September 12, 1948 in Consort, AB, to Kathleen Rose (McConnell) and Charlie Marvin Scott. She was the second girl in a family of five girls and one boy. She went to school in Consort, playing basketball and volleyball. She studied very hard with a goal of going to university to study Social Work, but instead became a teacher, and spent her entire career teaching junior high language arts and social studies at Woodhaven Junior High in Spruce Grove. Gail was an excellent teacher and enjoyed her students. She took great pride in her career.

After she started teaching, she started spending her summers at Alberta Beach with her family, where she met a local farmer, Bob Lehman, and they were married in 1985. They lived on his farm for many years and then built their lakefront cabin at Alberta Beach, where Gail lived for the rest of her life. She and Bob travelled to visit Bob’s son, Keith, in Puerto Rico several times. They drove across Canada to Newfoundland and then became snowbirds, spending many winters in Yuma.

Gail loved to travel, especially going on cruises and often scheduled one from California, when they were staying in Yuma. She even had a cruise booked for next January.

Gail especially loved her flowers; they were her pride and joy. She also enjoyed aerobics, golfing, and other activities with friends.

She was pre-deceased by her husband Bob, youngest sister Lorraine, and recently by her only brother, Greg, as well as both parents, uncles Danny McConnell, Bud Scott and Bill Readman, Aunt Freda McConnell, and cousins Greg and Shirley McConnell.

Left to mourn her loss are her sister Sharon Scott, daughters Meghan (Kyle Wick) and Lindsay (Gary Auger); sister Jackie (Arthur Chin), daughter Allison (Eric Dodd); sister Janice (Larry Lewsaw), sons Landon (Jackie) and Jeremy (Zoe); sister-in-law Shirley Scott and sons Nolan (Anika), Graham (Tanya) and Jordan (Jill), as well as cousins Carol (Dave) Bruha, Betty and Allan McConnell, and Aunt Mary Readman. She also leaves to mourn her loss Bob’s sister, Eve Schiedeman, as well as eleven great nieces and nephews.

If you remember her in passing from time to time

and recollect a story or two with a smile, she will be happy.

A Memorial Service will be held in Gail's honor at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 24, 2024 at the Alberta Beach Senior's Club, 5012 - 49 Avenue Alberta Beach, AB.
