Gail Schorno Obituary
Gail graduated from Yelm High School in 1961 and was married to her high school sweetheart Larry Schorno for 47 years.
Gail, a devoted, talented mother and homemaker had many interests. She enjoyed singing, acting, horseback riding, cooking, gardening, beach combing and piloting her Cessna. She was a great fan of her nine adoring grandchildren, attending their many ball games and musical events. Many charitable organizations benefited from her generosity including Yelm Dollars for Scholars, POSSCA, Yelm Performing Arts, Drew Harvey Theater and Yelm Historical Society.
She loved to love her family. She is survived by her mother, Marguerite Edwards; husband, Larry Schorno; daughters, Gayla Schorno-Duerr and Cindy Schorno; sons, Dan and Glenn Schorno; sisters, Dallas Ann Landon and Christine Chatwood; brother, Jeff Edwards; and nine precious grandchildren, Peter, Kristie, Daniel, Natalie, Austin, Jack, Will, Alexis and Laney.
Gail will be dearly missed by all and we know we will see her again in Heaven.
A memorial service will be held Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. at the Lawrence Lake Pavilion in Yelm. A brief gravesite visit and reception will follow.
In lieu of flowers please make donation to Yelm Dollars for Scholars Endowment Fund in memory of Gail Schorno.

Larry and family, as newcomers to Yelm, relatively, we've been blessed by knowing Gail and touched by her humbleness and warmth, as if we had known her for years. It was a beautiful service and she would have been very proud of her wonderful and talented family and their participation.
