Born June 25th, 1945 in Winnipeg, Man., Gail is survived and deeply missed by her daughter Lisa (Bill) Leir of Coldstream, B.C.; her son Michael (Shannon) Weir of Coldstream B.C.; and her pride and joy grandchildren: Christopher and Brady Leir, and Tyson, Mya and Jace Weir. Gail is further survived by her niece and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 39 years, Ron; her parents Raymond and May Letts; and last year, her 'baby sister' Donna Fetter.
Gail (mom) loved spending time at her cabin on Okanagan Lake, watching her grandkids play and splash. Then, as they got older and tubing was 'the new thing', I'm sure she would hold her breath until they were all accounted for and safely back on shore. She made such wonderful friends out at the cabin and really enjoyed them. She also enjoyed listening to karaoke in the evenings. Back at home, she loved baking, tending her flowers, and watching the quail, which she tried, unsuccessfully, to keep track of as the babies temporarily got lost in the blades of grass and then she lost count...
Thank you to the staff at Carrington Place, staff and Dr.'s at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and the wonderful people at Hospice House. The care and support you gave mom as well as us will never be forgotten.
As per mom's wishes, a small family service will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Friday, February 19th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Friends wishing to pay their respects may do so during the visitation which will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
I lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to do so may make a memorial contribution in memory of Gail to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
