Gail was a devoted member of Briceville First Baptist Church, where she was active and loved by many. She was a kind and generous person with too many good qualities to mention, always willing to help those in need. She had a beautiful voice and sang at her church, never turning down a request to sing at funerals. She sang at a funeral just two days before being hospitalized. She will be deeply missed but leaves behind many fond memories.
The family wishes to thank the ICU nursing staff and 4 West at Methodist Medical Center for their excellent care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Briceville First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 102, Briceville, TN 37710.

A graveside service was held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025, at Oak Grove Cemetery.
