Gail Beard Obituary
She quickly found her calling in life of aiding and befriending others. She got her RN degree and worked in clinical nursing for many years. Gail and Wayne had two children, Joseph and Michael. Gail followed her heart and relocated numerous times before finding her way to Griswold Iowa to be a doting grandmother.
Gail is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Cleve. She is survived by her brother William, ex-husband, Wayne, sons Michael (Kelly) & Joseph (Sarah), and grandchildren Ella, Miller, Luke, and Eli.
Gail never met a stranger. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in her hometown.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family and can be sent in care of Schmidt Family Funeral Home to P.O. Box 523 Atlantic 50022.
