They raised their family in Idaho until 1989 when an employment opportunity came to Frank that moved them to Battle Mountain. Gail was employed with Newmont (Carlin) for 13 years until her retirement in 2010.
Gail enjoyed spending time with her family, traveling, painting, drawing, ceramics, sewing and she was always willing to share her talents with any of her kids or grandkids that were interested.
