Gail Ann ALVORD

(Age 71)

Born September 27, 1950, in Tacoma, WA, Gail Ann Alvord passed away in Spokane, WA on September 15, 2021 from complications of Scleroderma. She spent her early years in Gig Harbor,WA, where she was active in 4-H and loved riding her horse, Spirit. She graduated from Peninsula High School in 1969. Gail remained in her beloved hometown until moving to Spokane in 2018 to be closer to her sister. Gail spent most of her career as a courier, retiring due to declining health in 2010. Creative and artistic, Gail specialized in beautiful, custom silk flower arrangements. She was a voracious reader, lover of all things vintage and should have been on "Name that Tune". Gail was empathetic, clever, kind, courageous in adversity and cherished by all who knew her. Grieving her loss are brothers John Jorgenson of Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and Lee Jorgenson (Sheila) of Yelm, WA, sister Lyn Spangler (Craig) of Post Falls, ID, nephew Ryan Vaughn and wife Kelly of Chandler, AZ and their children Nathan and Taryn. The family is grateful to the dedicated nurses at Deaconess Hospital PICU, Spokane Hospice House South, and the residents and staff of Maplewood Gardens who helped her feel at home in Spokane.
