Gale was a very wonderful woman who loved her family, animals, nature and fall/Christmas season very much. She always had decorated her home beautifully. She would always have a nice garden in the yard with beautiful flowers. Her favorite thing to do was spending time with her grandkids going on day trips to an orchard or farm for pumpkin picking, going to the zoo, and aquariums, or just to walk around the mall.
She also loved to bake cookies, play board games, nail salon, and have bubble shows in the backyard. She always cherished every moment she spent with them.
