Becka Freed I wish I had better pictures of Gail, but this one I do love because it sums up what I loved about her. We were needing to clean out my aunt's house and weren't sure best process/cleaning agents to use to clean appliances that were a grade or 10 better than what we had. Upon asking her, her response was "here, let me just show you". And just like that the Bar Keeper's Friend came out and we witnessed a real pro. I was so lucky to have Gail and Jack host me for several days over a couple of years as I helped get their friend/my aunt move. Fresh baked cinnamon rolls and freshly squeezed orange juice were always a delight. But most of all I so appreciated Gail's support talking me through difficult family times, and sharing laughs and loves about our dogs. She was an incredible woman and will be missed.

I read of Gail's passing today in the paper. I am sorry for your loss...for all our loss. Gail was Chair of the Board of Mercy Housing Northwest for many years and guided us through difficult times with grace. She was a good friend to our mission and residents. She will be missed!

I met Gail later, sometime after she had retired, when I was called to Providence 2015. Gail was a force of nature. Her insights and opinions in board meetings and on the occasional phone call were energetic, passionate, often fiery. Gail did not speak her mind. She spoke her conscience. You always had the sense that, in conveying her observations...

Maddy Metzger-Utt I feel so thankful to have known Gail. She was a strong, intelligent, hard working and funny woman. She was part of our "Leadership Ladies" group and was role model for many of us. She was also a very dedicated member of the Everett Rotary Club. She will be greatly missed.

Gail was grace and fire wrapped into one person. She was one of the first people with whom I met upon moving to the area, and I could tell from the beginning that I had found a mentor and friend. She was no-nonsense, straight forward and would tell you the truth you needed to hear but also extend you the grace you needed to grow. She was sharp and ...
