I am very sorry for your loss! Gail was always nice to me and correct a very good listener! She will be missed here in the hills! Who didn’t know Gail! She was a little lady that didn’t require attention! I enjoyed seeing her! God Bless Robyn Varland

Our sincere sympathy goes out to Eddie and his family, Gail's brother and her many friends. Remembering how happy Gail and Joe looked when cruising on the motorcycle and the delight and love in her eyes when she shared the news of her pregnancy with a group of high school friends, are my memories to share. Gail, peace be yours.

Gail will be missed. She always had a great smile and had good conversation. Eddie and Family we are so sorry of your loss. I always enjoyed seeing her at hamburger night with my sister and mother having a drink then enjoying the burger later on. She was a kind lady and we are so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you all during this time.

I’m so sorry to hear of Gail’s passing. She was a loyal client of mine for years. I always enjoyed our visits together while she pampered herself with a monthly pedicure. She had a passion for the color purple, which was the only color she chose for her toes! They always matched her sweatshirt or top she was wearing for that day. She loved her family and always spoke of how proud she was of her grandson. She loved her camping adventures too. When growing up, Gail lived right across the street from my Grandparents, Horace and Irene Palmer. My grandma and her mom were friends. Her brother was in my dad’s Boys Scout troop. Gail was one of my babysitters when I was young, and I will admit that was no easy task with my sister and I! She was a great and smart person, I loved her and I will miss her. Condolences to all her family.

Eddie and family, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. It's a loss to many of us! I was looking forward to seeing her after the covid thing tamed down. We kept in touch by phone, but it's not the same. I'll always remember the fun we had when we traveled to our custodial workshops. Your Dad would sell raffle tickets for us while we went to class. Your Mom was a true inspiration to us all. She was the only one that I know that took all 3 of the housekeeping certification tests on the same day, and aced them all! I was so proud of all she did when she worked at the hospital in Deadwood. She definitely knew her craft. I was just thinking about calling her, as I needed a few more Tupperware citrus peelers. I gave a couple to a friend and 2 to Brian. I was going to get some for my daughter as well. I use mine all the time! Please accept our deepest sympathies on behalf of my family and myself. She was a dear friend and will be missed!

Dear Ed and family, I was saddened to hear about Gail's passing this morning at the Deadwood Rec Center. I feel so blessed that she touched my life. We met at the pool and enjoyed visiting, often about your dear son whom she loved so much. She introduced me to the Lotus Up coffee shop. I have missed her during this time of COVID and was looking forward to getting together. She was a special lady and I will miss her.

Ed & Family it sadness us to hear about your moms passing she was the sweetest person I knew. She would remember you by name anytime she seen you. I also have thought of her recently as my granddaughter was born and how she helped me out with my first born son and memories of your parents with Dennis & Sandy Osborne. May her memory live on through you..

Eddie and family, I’m absolutely heartbroken! Your mom was such an amazing lady who adored her family, cherished her friends, and defended her beliefs. I was literally thinking about her as I was using a Tupperware citrus pealer moments before I read tonight’s newspaper! She replaced mine because I accidentally threw it away. Another Tupperware gadget she carried around in her purse knowing she would see me soon. What a lady! ???? I will miss her.....rest well, Gail....until we meet again...

Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to all of Gail's family, her greatest joy. The world has lost a beautiful light. During her retirement Gail worked with me cleaning Sanford Lab Admin Bld. She was not only the best of the best employees, she was a true friend. She was a blessing and made us better people just by knowing her.

So sorry to hear of Gail's passing. She and Joe were such nice people to visit with. I would meet them now and then when they were shopping in Spearfish after enjoying a motorcycle ride. After Joe's passing, I would see her now and then. She was such a nice, friendly person who always had time to visit. May she rest in peace.

Gail was my friend and first sweet heart. We went to a school dance together when we were in 5th grade. We spent a lot of time together when we were growing up. When my dad died Gail was the only person from my highschool class to attend his funeral. She was a special lady and she will be missed!
