I worked with Gale at Oceanfront Library. She was a wonderful co-worker and friend, who knew so much and will make you laugh. She will be missed.

Gale was a wonderful lady who loved being around family and loved the beach. I will truly miss her, she will always be in my thoughts. May she swim with the dolphins

I first met Gale in 1981 when I started working at Oceanfront Library. I looked up to Gale and she was a true Librarian in every way. She taught me a lot and was a dear friend and as years went on she became family. She was always thoughtful of and very giving to her friends and family. We had a lot of great times and I will miss her dearly- my love, prayers and condolences to Lindsey and the family.

Gale was a wonderful colleague and friend. I would see her over the years at craft and jewelry shows. We were both doing some retail therapy, I will think of her every time I attend in the future. I will miss her.

I worked with Gale at the Oceanfront Library, where she was a respected member of the library family and community. I will remember Gale for that little twinkle in her eye, her sense of humor, and her fab collection of Birkenstocks. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

We met Gale through her cousin Andrea, who I have known since I was 5. Gale came camping and to dinners with all of us. It truly was a pleasure to spend the time we had with her. I will miss "Auntie Gale " a name we called her. Her laugh and smile will be missed. Gone too soon and never to be forgotten.

Today and always, may loving memories bring the family peace, comfort and strength.

I met Gale through one of my best friends Elaine Kenny over 30 years ago. She was a wonderful person and a treasure to her friends. I particularly remember she her mom and Aunt Betty at the annual Christmas Ornament Exchange. Rest well Gale your journey is done. you will truly be missed.

I just heard the news tonight about Gale. I am in shock. I haven't seen Gale lately, but have run into her from time to time since we worked together at OF library many years ago. My husband Karl and Gale were classmates at W.T. Cooke Elementary School. Gale loved my girls, Kara and Kate, and used to shower them with gifts when they were very young. They are all grown up now with kids of their own. Actually, Gale came over in the wee hours of the morning to take care of Kara when I went to the hospital to have Kate. She was very special. I will miss her. So many fond memories. Prayers for Lindsey and others in her family. Rest in Peace, Gale.

Gone too soon, my dear Friend. Rest in Peace. I will miss seeing you at various places and events, I send my condolences and love to your family.

When I first started working for the library I worked with Gale at Oceanfront. She was kind and helpful and will be sorely missed by all who know her.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Gale. We lived just down the street from her when she was a small child. Many was the time I saw and spoke to her at the oceanfront library. She was a very sweet woman and will be missed.

I have known Gale for over 30 years. We worked together every day and Gale was a part of our family. My sons adored her. She will be greatly missed. We have so many great memories to sustain our broken hearts. Our prayers are with her family and we share your grief.

I worked with Gale for the past 13 years at Oceanfront Area Library. Gale was a very caring person who sincerely enjoyed coming into work and being with her work family. She accepted people for who they are and not for any other reason. She welcomed people with open arms and she will be missed a lot! I am so sorry for the family she is leaving behind especially for Yvonne. May God comfort you in knowing that she lives on inside of you. Peace be with you. Sherry

Yvonne and family, I am so sorry to hear of Gale passing. I worked with her at the Oceanfront Library for 9 years. She was a gem, one of a kind woman. She was kind hearted and had a heart of gold. She would do anything for anyone. She will definitely be missed by so many people. My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this time of need. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. God Bless.

Gale had a wealth of knowledge about the Oceanfront community and library. I learned much from her about VBPL. I will miss her sense of humor and hearty laugh. She gave so much of herself to her library family. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
