She was born on January 28, 1938, in Macon, GA, to Wilbur K. and Frances McGirt Gardner. Gail graduated from the University of Georgia and moved to Florida in 1957. She worked as a home economics teacher before retiring in the early 1960s to become a devoted homemaker. Gail was active in the Lake Hamilton Women's Club and served the Lord through her local church in both children's and ladies' ministries. Gail was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Winter Haven, FL.
Gail loved the Lord with all her heart and soul. She found joy in cooking, gardening, flower arranging, sewing, and crafting. Known for her generous and caring nature, she was always thoughtful, cheerful, and focused on encouraging and supporting others.

Gail is survived by her son, Keith (Allyson) Butts; her daughters, Debbie McCutcheon and Karen (George) Richards; five grandchildren, Jason Bunch, Shawn Bunch, Jeremy McCutcheon, Devin Butts, and Brent Butts; and four great-grandchildren, Taylor Bunch, Paeton Bunch, Brody McCutcheon, and Leland Bunch.

Gail Butts was a valued member of the Lake Hamilton Woman's Club and one of the first members that left a lasting impression on me as a new member. Gail was famous for her Sour Cream Pound Cake that was to die for sold at our Yard and Bake Sales! She also had the best chicken salad served at our Red Hat Teas! You will be missed, my friend.
