Gail became a grandmother in 1977 and became a great-grandmother, affectionately known as Mimi, in 2000. She was very proud of all of her family. She was an avid listener of Southern Gospel music. She loved traveling and really enjoyed taking day trips to the mountains, just enjoying the beauty around her from behind the wheel. She would always have her bags packed for a weekend getaway with anyone! She loved worshipping the Lord at The United Pentecostal Church of Douglasville GA, and then later at Living Water Ministry of Dallas, GA.

We will be having a Celebration of Life gathering at Woodstock Funeral Home (8855 Main St, Woodstock, GA 30188) on Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 1:00 pm with Pastor Russ Moore officiating. Interment will follow at Rolling Hills Memory Gardens in Acworth, GA.
