Gail Ann Casper

Gail Ann Casper passed away late Sunday evening, February 13, 2022, at home with her loving husband and dedicated caretaker, Tony Casper, by her side.
Gail was born in Gulfport, Mississippi on July 13, 1956, to Burdic and Marline Shaw. She spent most of her childhood in the College Park community in Gulfport where she lived with her family on Augustine Drive. Gail, her brother, and their cousins shared many happy times on the family's farm on Highway 53 in Lizana, where her grandparents, Buddig and Arthemese Shaw, lived and worked. During her youth, Gail attended St. Ann's Catholic Church, St. James Catholic Church, St. James Elementary School and St. John High School in Gulfport. She later attended St. Joseph's Catholic church in Gulfport.
In 1973, Gail married the love of her life, Tony Casper, when she was seventeen years old, and they remained married for 48 years. They have three beloved children - Kelly, Anthony (deceased), and Tonya, who blessed them with five grandchildren. Gail treasured times spent together with her family swimming in their pool and going on vacations. Although Gail and Tony enjoyed traveling together to various destinations abroad and in the United States, Gail's favorite vacation was the first family trip to Disney World. Gail will be remembered by her family for her kind and loving spirit, her modesty, and her commitment to always do what is right.
Gail was employed at Sam's Club from the opening of the Gulfport store in 1988 until her retirement in 2018. She worked with dedication for thirty years, assisting customers, as well as employees, as she served in various roles during her career including cashier, cashier supervisor, and personnel manager. Gail always had a kind word for others and was recognized as Employee of the Month on several occasions.
Gail will be greatly missed by her husband, Tony Casper; her children Kelly (Jeff) Bihn of Ocean Springs and Tonya (Tyree) Griffin of Gulfport; her grandchildren Katelyn Sharpe (Cody Austin), Tyler Casper, Tanner Griffin, Taedyn Griffin, and Taylyn Griffin; her brother Mike (Cindy) Shaw; brother-in-law Steven Casper; sister-in-law Cynthia Casper; cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family members and friends.
