Gail M. Dohrn

Gail M. Dohrn (née MacIntyre)

Survived by her next of kin, cousins Linda Johnston, Pamela Cimino and Alison Ciminera, as
well as an extended family including devoted nieces, nephews and cousins.
Pre-deceased by her husband Robert, her parents, Hugh and Janet MacIntyre, her sister, Emily
and her brother, Paul.

Gail was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 30, 1954. She grew up in Broomall and attended
Marple-Newtown schools, before attending Wilkes College, in Wilkes Barre, PA, graduating with
a BS degree in Medical Technology.

Gail and Bob married in 1982 and settled in Collingswood, NJ.
Gail's professional life was spent working in various hospital labs, first as a lab technologist,
eventually becoming lab supervisor. She retired from Jeanes Hospital (part of the Temple
Health System) in 2023. She missed working and therefore continued to work part-time at
Jeanes up until the time of her death.

Gail's interests and passions were very diverse.
She was a devoted Philadelphia sports fan from a young age, starting in 1967 with the
hometown Newton-Edgemont Little League going all the way to the Little League World Series.
But her greatest sports passion was reserved for ice hockey (her brother Paul was quite a good
player) and the Flyers. Gail and her family had Flyers season tickets for many years, going all
the way back to the Spectrum days, and Eagles season tickets going back to the Franklin Field
era.

Gail was passionate about both science and the arts. She enjoyed reading about all subjects,
including well-known artists such as Vincent van Gogh. She was also a lifelong music fan, going
back into the 60's when she first listened on her transistor radio.

Gail's interest in travel took her around the country to enjoy various natural wonders. She loved
the national parks and museums of all kinds, particularly those that showcased nature, art, and
history. Gail was an excellent photographer; her shots were always just a little bit better than
anyone else's. Her many interests were backed up by her support of countless worthy
institutions and causes, most notably Camp Sunshine in Casio, ME, where she volunteered as a
counselor for many years.

Gail was also a collector at heart. She collected shot glasses, hockey memorabilia, pins from all
the places she had traveled and anything small. She loved almost anything in miniature and
her home was filled with collections of small stuff. Gail made and sold jewelry as a hobby for
many years and had a huge collection of beautiful beads, most of
them small, of course.

However, at the end of the day, the two things people will remember most vividly about Gail
were her smile and her laugh. She smiled and laughed a lot, and both made the world a bit
brighter for those around her. She was a kind and gentle soul and didn't say a lot, but when she
did speak, it was usually worth waiting for. She will be remembered fondly by the many people
who knew her and will be greatly missed by all of them.
