Gail Thomas Havens

Gail was my cousin who I only got to meet later in life. She shared with me a lot of family history, and just recently I found her, Bonnie, Harry and their mother Mary in the 1950 census. I wrote her an email just yesterday (1/12/2023), not knowing that she had passed. This is sad news, but I am so glad that got to meet her.

Gail was a classmate at OXNARD Union High School. She was active in leadership roles and a friend to all. The OUHS56 class celebrated our 66th Reunion recently. We always have a time to remember our classmates. Prayers and love sent to Gail´s family and friends.

I always had a soft place in my heart for Gail. We dated in High School. She was so sweet and encouraging to me. I will miss her and she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Peace

Gail and I were good friends during our time teaching together. She was fun-loving, gentle natured, a good sport and a wonderful teacher! She loved to shop and we bought shoes together! She had a beautiful smile and will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her! Our thoughts are with her family.
