I am saddened to learn of Gail´s passing. Gail´s friendly and warm personality transcended from High School to our last conversation at our 50 Year Class Reunion 2023. I´m blessed we had been given the opportunity and time to catch up with our lives, share memories and laughs. Rest peacefully Gail.

PAHS Class of '73 classmate.

Gail was a beloved member of Sacred Heart School Class of 1969 and PAHS Class of 1973. I didn't run into her often but when I did I was always greeted with a big smile and an even bigger heart. Gail was truly one of the good ones and she'll be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to her family.
