Gail Meagher Obituary

Gail L Meagher, age 71 of Oak Lawn, passed away May 28, 2020 after an eight month struggle with MDS.

Beloved daughter of the late Herbert Jr and Luella, cherished sister of Jean (Jack) Dorris, Nancy (Jim) Mortell, and Herbert "Rick" (Beth).

Dearest aunt of John (Tina) Dorris, Kathleen (Brian) Sendt, Kelly (Dave) Navarro and the late Derek Campbell.

Loving great aunt of Matthew, Abigail, Alexis and Max.

Gail will be missed by many friends, especially Julie Fichtner, her best friend for over 35 years.

Gail retired from Williams/Gerard Productions where she was a dedicated employee for over forty years, and where she formed many lasting friendships. She loved her job which gave her many opportunities to travel and meet new people.

Gail was devoted to her family and friends...a true one of a kind. She was an avid bowler, crocheter and within recent years found a new passion for playing golf.

She was generous with her time and money to many charitable organizations.

Gail's cremated remains will be laid to rest at a future date at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Alsip, IL. At that time, a celebration of her life will be planned.

Gail backstage. This is what she was all about, taking care of people. She was getting our client breakfast because he missed the crew breakfast. That's how she was.... Such a joy to work with<br />Pat Walsh

I hope i don't have double entries, as i did one on my phone this morning. I just wanted family and friends to know that as a co-worker, Gail was absolutely the most dependable person you could ever have on your team. Whatever needed to be done, Gail would jump in with both feet. There are so many great backstage stories about Gail running for a accordion for Sheryl Crow, or getting pizzas or sandwiches for a band late at night in whatever town...waiting on the loading dock at Arie Crown for the band limo to show up or the piano delivery at a convention center. She never shied away for the tough jobs, but she always had time to ask "Do you need coffee"? The most dependable person ever...

She did everything and more for us at W/G over the forty plus years she was with us. This includes telling me what to do, how to do it, and when I didnt do it right. She was the best - one of a kind.

Dearest Gale, working with you was a pleasure. To see your smiling face or hear your voice from down the hallway. You always had a joke or something funny to say. Huge heart great person. I will miss you.

Gail was a good friend and one of the best co-workers Ive ever had. All of us that worked with her at Williams Gerard, especially those that worked on show site with her know there is nothing she wouldnt do to help the project. This included errands to pick up an accordion for Sheryl Crow, get sandwiches for Cheap Trick, wait on the loading dock for the piano to arrive or the crews pizza. Whatever was needed, Gail never shied away from the task. Our clients saw this too, and they loved seeing her on show site. Gail was a doer. She will be sorely missed. I look forward to the memorial service and hearing more stories about her. I know we all have them!
