Gail Faye Ginsburg

Ginsburg, Gail Faye
Age 71

Passed away in Houston, TX on August 7, 2013. She was born on April 24, 1942. Gail lived the first 51 years of her life in Omaha, NE, where Gail and Bob, her husband of 52 years, worked and raised 3 children. As a young child, throughout High School at Omaha Central and well into her adulthood, Gail was active in dance and the community theater.
Always passionate about learning, Gail returned to school as an adult, and received her Bachelors Degree from the College of St. Mary and her M.A. in Counseling from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Gail and Bob moved to Seattle, WA in 1993 to be near their first grandchildren. Gail worked passionately as a therapist at Residential XII, a women's residential treatment center in Washington, before starting a private practice in the Seattle Metro area where she worked until retirement. One year ago, Gail and Bob moved to Houston, TX to be near even more grand-babies. Gail touched a great many lives as a wife, mother, grandmother, counselor and friend.
Gail was preceded in death by her mother and father, Hy and Miriam Shrier; her loving in-laws who watched her grow up and were a second set of parents to her, Henry and Ethel Ginsburg; and the mother of 3 of her precious grand-babies, Debbie.
As near as she could figure, Gail met her husband Bob during Sunday school at age 6, and they first held hands when they were about 10 1/12 or 11. Actually as Bob tells it, Gail was 11 and he was only 10 1/2.
Gail is survived by her husband, Bob; her sons, Phil, Mike, and Danny; the only daughter she ever had (she refused to call her her daughter-in-law), Joy; her grandchildren, Brandon, Emily, Olivia, Madison, Henry, Bobby, Ethel, and Evan; her loving sisters, Jane and her husband Russ Sawyer, and Julie Shrier; her brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Beth Ginsburg; and many cousins whom she loved deeply.
Gail Ginsburg brought white light into the world, and a great deal of love into the hearts of the people whose lives she touched. She will be greatly missed.
