"You belong among the wildflowers...

You belong in a boat out at sea...

Sail away, kill off the hours...

You belong somewhere you feel free."

Gale, 69, of Cincinnati, passed away October 21, 2022, at Hospice of Cincinnati, with her family by her side. She is survived by her loving husband, James, and her 2 daughters, Rachel and Sarah.

She is remembered closely by her 4 siblings and their families.

In addition to her beautiful family, Gale had many close friends throughout her lifetime that will definitely mourn this great loss.
