Gail was a caring and dedicated health care provider. As a Q.M.A., she worked at Miller’s Merry Manor for the past 25 years. She dearly loved her patients and her loving care will be sorely missed by them and the staff at Miller’s.
An angel to many who knew her, she delighted in collecting them.
Gail enjoyed sewing, cooking and all related activities with her grandchildren. She loved traveling, particularly in the state of Kentucky.
Gail is survived by four daughters and their families. They are Deborah G. and Doug Whaley, Rochester, and their children: Jacob and Matthew Whaley; Belinda F. and Ron McNeal, Donaldson, and their children: Josh, Kristen and Kara McNeal; and Angela G. and Brian Smith, Plymouth.

Gail’s brothers are: Pete and Marsha DeClark and Ernie and Wendy DeClark. A brother-in-law, Ivan Lusardi and numerous nieces and nephews survive also.
A special friend, Carl Brock, Argos, also survives Gail’s death.
Gail was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Deloris Lasard.
