It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gail A. Wilson, who left us peacefully in her home on July 13, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on April 3, 1957, in Boston, Massachusetts, Gail was a beacon of love, dedication, and warmth throughout her life. She spent her days nurturing and educating children, working passionately in elementary schools and daycares, where she touched the lives of countless young hearts.

Gail's greatest joy was the time spent with her family. With her loving husband Donald by her side for 44 wonderful years, she created a legacy filled with love and togetherness. She cherished her roles as mother to her sons David and Daniel (Taylor), and daughter Lori. As a proud grandmother, she found immeasurable happiness in watching her grandchildren, Kinsley and Emerson, grow, sharing in their laughter and milestones.

Those who knew Gail will remember her as a loving, caring, and patient soul. Her friendly nature meant that anyone she spoke to quickly became a friend. Despite her stubbornness, which often led to playful banter, her family and friends knew it was just part of her charm. She possessed an extraordinary ability to make everyone around her feel seen and valued, embodying the spirit of family that was so central to her life.

Beyond her passion for teaching, Gail enjoyed a variety of hobbies. She found solace in reading, cherished cheering on her favorite sports teams, the Rockies and Avalanche, and took immense delight in cooking meals that brought her family together. Her warmth and culinary skills made every gathering a cherished occasion.

Gail is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Dorothy, as well as her brother Chuck. Although they are no longer with us, their memory lives on in the hearts of those she loved.

A celebration of her life will take place on July 25, 2025, at Newcomer Funeral Home, West Metro in Denver, Colorado. The service will begin at 1:00 PM, followed by a celebration at 1:30 PM, and an additional gathering thereafter. Family and friends are invited to honor and remember the beautiful life of Gail, whose legacy of love and kindness will forever remain in our hearts.
