Gail Jean Anderson, born on August 11, 1949, in Worden, Illinois, she passed away peacefully on March 24, 2025, surrounded by her cherished family. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who touched the lives of everyone she met.

Gail had a passion for life that was infectious. She loved nothing more than spending quality time with her grandchildren, creating memories that they will carry with them forever.
