Linda Gail Marler, affectionately known as Gail, passed away on November 18, 2023. She was a beloved daughter, sister, niece, and friend. Gail had a magnetic personality that was characterized by her loving kindness, caring nature, and sense of humor. She touched the lives of those around her in immeasurable ways.
Born on January 22, 1966, in Potosi, Missouri, Gail grew up surrounded by the warmth and love of her parents, Beulah Marler and Clarence "Bob" Marler Jr. Throughout her life, family remained a cornerstone for Gail. She cherished spending time with her loved ones and treasured every moment shared.
Gail found joy in nurturing relationships and was deeply connected to her sisters. She is survived by JoAnn French and her husband John of Irondale, Arlene Crocker of Bismarck, Beverly Marler and Sheril of Phoenix, AZ, and Paula Coursen of Herculaneum. Her brother Clarence "Butch" Marler and his wife Linda of Bismarck, brother-in-law John Moore of Irondale were also an integral part of her life.
Gail has been reunited with her sister, Velma Moore; brothers-in-law, Ronnie Crocker and Tom Coursen and niece, Roxanna French who preceded her into the heavens.
Family gatherings were filled with laughter whenever Gail was present. Her sense of humor was infectious and brightened any room she entered. She had an uncanny ability to find joy in the simplest pleasures of life. Gail knew how to make every moment count. As we mourn the loss of Gail's physical presence, let us also celebrate her life and cherish the memories we have shared with her. Her legacy will live on through the love she gave and the joy she brought to those fortunate enough to know her.
