Gail found great joy in traveling with her family in their camper, especially on trips to Colorado. While her children were young, she was actively involved in her church's youth committee, helping plan youth trips and church camps that created lasting memories for many. She also enjoyed playing dominoes and working on jigsaw puzzles. Above all, Gail's greatest passion was spending time with her family, whose love and companionship brought her the greatest happiness.
