They relocated to beautiful Providence, Utah after retirement. Gail centered her life around her family and loved ones. Her favorite thing to do was to spend time with her 83 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and beat all of us in card games. She was the most loving and giving mother and friend to all, never knowing a stranger.
