Gail was an avid crocheter and enjoyed making blankets for all her family and friends and especially new babies coming into the family.  She loved working jigsaw puzzles during the winter months and had quite the collection of them sealed and framed.  According to her family, she made the worlds best no-bake cookies, but never enough of them.  Gail loved the bible and her church family at Bible Baptist Temple of Clarksburg, and she loved her special church friend, Mary Ann Hurst, that called her every day.

In her last few months of life she lived with her eldest son, Ronnie and his wife Celestine. The rest of her family would like to acknowledge their appreciation to them for the love and care they gave her.  The family would also like to thank the Hospice of WVU Medicine for their never-ending care and compassion they gave Gail.
