After retiring, Bob and Gail enjoyed several winters in Arizona always returning to Black Diamond for the spring and summer. Bob died in 1994, after fifty years of marriage. Gail eventually moved to Maple Valley and continued to spend the winter months in Arizona.

Gail will be remembered for many things. Including her love for her grandchildren and taking them on many adventures in their motor home. She enjoyed entertaining, playing cards, gol ng, bowling and gardening. Some of Gail’s happiest times were spent in the motor home traveling to Alaska, down south and many trips to Reno with her sisters-in-law and several friends. These were fun times for Gail!!
