Gail Wynn Scullion

On Tuesday, October 5, 2021, Gail Wynn (Williams) Scullion, loving wife and mother of 5 children, 19 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, passed away at the age of 75. Gail was born on June 7, 1946, in McKeesport Memorial Hospital in Allegheny County, PA to Father, Lt. Col. Thomas R. Williams Sr., and Mother, Dorothy L. Williams. Gail married her soulmate Tim Scullion, September 21, 1979 and they were married over 42 years. Together they shared a passion for traveling, in particular the beautiful Sedona, AZ Red Rocks. Gail had a musical gift and the voice of an angel that impacted countless lives over her musical career spanning decades. She shared her love of music with others starting at the age of 3, participating in what were known as Tom Thumb weddings. She and her brother Tom learned how to harmonize with their parents, singing songs together on their Sunday afternoon car rides to visit family in the late 1950's. She and her brothers love of music continued to grow over the years and was the catalyst that brought them together with another longtime friend in a group named “We Three”, where they shared their mutual love of God and by ministering through music in concerts throughout the Pennsylvania Tri-State area. As their popularity grew they began to sing in concerts throughout the Eastern United States and this led Gail and Tom to full-time careers in music. Gail went on to create a seven-piece show band known as “Lightstreet” that performed in Showrooms from coast to coast. As time went on Gail’s husband Tim joined the group as a lead guitarist and their traveling musical career spanned several decades with them finally settling down with their families and calling Williamsburg, Virginia home. Their music career finally led them back to their love of a music ministry with the creation of a Contemporary Christian Group called “Cross Purposes”. Their music ministry continued for several more decades with them traveling up and down the eastern coast, sharing their ministry at various churches and denominations which continued until her passing. She was a woman of resounding strength, compassion and had the most vivacious spirit. At times she was a force of nature to be reckoned with. She was known for her infectious laughter, her brilliant holiday decorations, “Nanny Cookies”, and a smile that could stop the world. She was the founder and president of the Kids Forever Club. Her main love was for her family whom she taught what love truly is. Gail had the most unique and beautiful soul. She was and always will be the family glue that holds the family together.
