Gail Loffa

She was born on April 12, 1953 in Elizabeth, NJ to the late Robert and Wilma Roberts. Survived by her husband, Michael Loffa of Surprise and her children, David (Jennifer) Kalicki and Stephen (Julie) Kalicki of Columbus, OH; grandchildren, Samantha, Eva, Vivienne, and Olivia. Nothing was more important than Gail’s children and grandchildren.

Gail graduated from Mother Seton High School, Clark, NJ in 1971. She raised her two boys in New Jersey before moving to Columbus, OH where is worked at a Fraud Specialist with Chase Bank. Gail enjoyed investigating fraudulent claims for the bank and after retiring from that position moved to Arizona where she married her husband, Mike.

Gail enjoyed spending her time with family and friends and her cats Baby, Bandit and Midnight. Gail also enjoyed cooking and experimenting with exotic recipes. She loved playing golf and was very competitive. She took great pride in her creativity where she would spend hours painting on canvas and ceramics of all sorts. Her absolute favorite holiday was Halloween. She would decorate to the fullest and loved greeting kids of all ages. Gail also loved going to the Casinos all over the country and was a frequent slot winner. She had the Midas touch.

The family would like to thank the ICU doctors and nurses of Abrazo Heart Hospital in Phoenix, AZ for their compassion and care during her recent stay.

Being a multiple cancer survivor, donations, in lieu of flowers, made in Gail’s memory can be sent to the Cancer Foundation.

A Celebration of Life will be held for close family and friends at a later date.
