Born on January 17, 1949, Gail enjoyed her status as a native Austinite, where she attended the schools of the Austin Independent School District, graduating from Sidney Lanier High School. Gail continued her education at the University of Texas at Austin, living in the Andrews-Blanton-Carothers Dorms, serving as a Dorm Advisor, and graduating with a Degree in Elementary Education.
Gail began her career as an Elementary School Teacher with AISD. Later she worked in administrative assistant roles for the Texas Department of Health. At the University of Texas at Austin she enjoyed her positions supporting professors at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and working in UT’s Development Office, Gifts and Endowments. In addition, Gail worked part-time for many years at Austin Community College as an instructor in the Business Office Technology Department.
Throughout the years, Gail looked forward to the monthly reunions of her Lanier High School graduating classmates. She celebrated holidays and family occasions in Austin with her brother John Bunce and his family, and her cousins Janelle Bishop Hesselsweet, Martin Scott Holter, and Kristin Holter Sprague, and their families. In her generous spirit, Gail was always encouraging to the young ones and ready to play table games with anyone. At home Gail’s delight and companions were her cats, who were quite spoiled.
Gail is predeceased by her parents, Sidney Edward Bunce and Edith Meta Holter Bunce, and her nephew Adam Bunce.
Gail is fondly remembered by her brothers, Alan Bunce and John Bunce (Betti), their families, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
The family is grateful for the kind and devoted care Gail received from the staff at Juniper Village at Spicewood Summit and Hospice Austin.
Gail will be honored by her family with a private celebration of her life.
