To Gale's family, 
Gale was a tremendous professional who cared about those around her and the quality of her work.  I depended on her guidance and insight as I learned to manage a SCSEP program a little over a year ago. She truly cared about others and was always willing to help. I enjoyed her candor, wit, humor, and openness.
I pray for you all during this time. It was truly a blessing to know her.

One of the best things about being a part of Gale’s work family, was that she was always prepared to give you a hand while making you laugh. Whatever the challenge, her quick smile and words of encouragement were sure to follow. I am thankful to have worked, learned, and laughed alongside her. My thoughts and prayers to all of Gale’s family. 

Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all. 

I worked with Gale for many years at Goodwill Industries of the Valleys. I was fortunate to have her on my team in Mission Services. Gale was a tenacious and dedicated leader of our SCSEP program where she helped thousands of older workers achieve a better life through the SCSEP program. I loved Gale's wonderful sense of humor. I can hear her laughing now. Gale loved her family fiercely and desired to do great good in the world. I will miss her.

Not only was Gale one of my colleagues, but she was also my dear friend.  I will always miss her, but I know I will one day see her again.

Rest in peace,

Brigette Miller

I worked with Gale for 9 years auditing the SCSEP time sheets.  She was a wonderful person with whom I really enjoyed working with.  My 
condolences are with her family and friends.  



When I worked with Gale on SCSEP at GII, I was always impressed and inspired by her unwavering dedication to bettering the lives of participants she influenced. She was resourceful and kind, and we enjoyed her company and shared experiences. Gale loved her trips out west to the parks being rejuvenated by nature, but I will remember her most as a very proud mother, caring co-worker, and one genuine, unwavering, card-carrying tree hugger! My heartfelt condolences and blessings to her family. She will be missed.

Gale invested her life in the lives of others. She kept spirits high with laughter filling the air while the important work of changing the world for the better was underway. We are blessed to have known her.

Gale was such and amazing person with a never-ending book of stories that never failed to bring a smile to my face. She was a huge asset to the Goodwill family and an inspiration for many.  Sending my condolences, thoughts, and prayers to her family and friends. 

Sending a lot of love to Momma Bev’s family.  The times that I was with her in the past she always put a smile on my face and made me feel right at home. Such a beautiful woman inside and out. May she rest in peace ❤️

I knew Gale many years ago when she was pregnant with Paetyn. I remember how happy she was to be with child as she thought it might never happen. I appreciated her no nonsense approach to things and yet she could still laugh at herself. We lost touch for many years and just reconnected a few months ago and it was like we had just seen each other the day before. My prayers to her family and friends as there is now a big hole in thier hearts- and mine. 

Gale was a ray of light on our Goodwill team. She taught me so much and gave thoughtful guidance and coaching to all those she worked with. Gale made us laugh, every day. She always knew just what to say to our team to help us keep pushing, even when things got difficult. I loved when she said "we are one lucky bunch." As a work family, I felt that way and I am grateful to have had the incredible honor to have learned alongside her. My truest condolences and prayers of comfort to Paetyn and all of Gale's family. Sincerely, Beth Hannon Penny (Older Workers Team, Goodwill International)

Paetyn I am so sorry! I will always remember the ball games and just coming over to hang out. I loved being around your mom. I will cherish the time I got to spend with her. We shared so many laughs. She will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are going up asking God to place his arms around the family and friends to provide comfort. I have so many memories of all the times Gale and I hung out to include all the adventures we took as high school friends. After moving away I lost touch, but Gale was always in my heart which is breaking.  May you Rest In Peace and I will see you again.
