Gail will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She loved her children and grandchildren and loved hearing what was going on in their lives. Her love for all of them was very evident in the photos throughout her home. Gail had a great group of friends she enjoyed spending time with, including her co-workers at Sunnen, where she worked for 33 years, the great support system she had for the last 18 years with AA, and the friends who have known her through her whole life. She always looked forward to meeting them for lunch, a movie, or just to talk. Her other passion was bowling. She loved being on a team of people that made her laugh and have a good time. Also, she enjoyed taking her dog, Brutus, on long walks and rides in the car. We rejoice in knowing that this is just " see ya later" and we will see our beautiful mother, Memaw, and friend again soon.
