Gayle passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at the age of 76 years. Gayle is survived by her two daughters Arlette Watwood (Darcy) and Lisa Weigel and two cherished grandsons Mitchell and Ethan. She is also survived by her sister Sandra Lee. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph Weigel. Gayle will forever be remembered as an amazing wife, mother, nana, sister, aunt and loyal friend.
Gayle had many interests and talents. Teaching ceramics, knitting, crocheting, sewing, crafting, cooking and baking…most of all baking the thousands of cookies and goodies that many have enjoyed over the years. At every bake sale, people would always ask “What did Gayle make?” Gayle’s grandsons were central in her life and she supported them in all their activities. She was a lifelong volunteer, from being a Brownie and Guide leader to volunteering with the Eastern Star and Shriners organization she was always willing to give her time and talents. Gayle was a positive force. She always had a smile for all, an encouraging word and a strength that was boundless. She touched many people in her life and made a lasting impression.
We would like to acknowledge the staff of Unit 72 of the Foothills Hospital for the exceptional care and kindness to Gayle and our family. We would also like to thank Dr. Libin for his tenacity, kindness and compassion.
