Gail was a long-time employee of Anderson Regional Medical Center. She was a life-long member of Midway Baptist Church. To know Gail was to love her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Henson; her parents, A.B. and Jean Culpepper Thompson; and her sisters, Joyce Rogers and Janice Fisher.
Pallbearers will be Ashton Stuart, Arin Brackeen, Landon Brackeen, Christian Clark, Cade Clark, and Kevin Lee Henson, Jr..
