Gail resided in Shokan for the past 45 years, and an active member of the St. John's Church in West Hurley, as well as a hard working member of the Columbiettes.

She will be dearly missed for many family traditions including the of making Christmas cookies with her daughters and granddaughters, and having her husband steal all of the rejects as they came out of the oven.
