Please join us this Sunday, Oct. 27, at 5:30 p.m. at the Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church, 617 S. Main St., Lexington, as we come together to honor Gail’s life and share our memories.

Gail will be remembered for her tough independence, courage and determination.

She fell in love with the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley and moved here from New Hampshire five years ago with her beloved horse Abe. Gail loved the beauty of the mountains. But her heart always longed for the seashore of Cape Cod where she was born.

Arrangements are being handled by Bolling, Grose, & Lotts Funeral Home and Cremation Services. NG
