Gail enjoyed reading novels, especially Danielle Steel and James Patterson.  She had recently purchased the newest James Patterson book which completed her collection.  She loved to crochet and found great joy in creating hand made gifts for family and friends.  Her most recent project was newborn baby hats that she donated to the Immanuel Lutheran Church (Mount Horeb) mission project.

Her true passion was her grandchildren!  Her true joy was bragging on each and every one of them!  Anyone who spent more than 10 minutes with her recognized the names; Caleb, Brandon, Austin, Caitlyn, Hunter, Jordon, Harmony, Kaley, Hudson, Logan, and her two great grandbabies Carter & Giddeon.
