Their loved remained strong for over 51 beautiful years. Gail was a faithful, life-long member of the Crown City Wesleyan Church where she was the pianist for over 50 years. She loved Southern Gospel music; singing in the church choir, and singing with the Holley quartet. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and quiet demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many, due to her love and faith in God.
