Gail was very family oriented. She loved taking her family on camping trips across Michigan. They have explored most of the state. She enjoyed fishing and other outdoor activities, especially with family and friends.
Gail was also known for her skills in the kitchen and her love of feeding others. She volunteered for the Athens VFW. Gail would take care of her neighborhood’s feral colony of cats. She really loved nature and cared about animals. Gail and her cooking will certainly be missed.
