Gail knew she wanted to be a teacher from a young age, practicing on her little cousins and performing her own science experiments at home.  She shared her faith in Jesus through teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at Zion Lutheran Church in Hartland.  Her education included attending Arrowhead High School and earning her bachelor’s degree at UW Whitewater. Her first job out of college landed her at Hilbert Elementary, teaching 4th grade and science.  She enjoyed it so much she remained there for 38 years touching hundreds of students’ lives before retiring.  Gail enjoyed many sports including golf, playing league softball for many years and coaching girls high school basketball. She loved photography and traveling with her mother.  She was an avid collector of many items throughout her life.
