Hanninen
April 10, 1944 — May 25, 2025
Gail passed away after a short battle with cancer. Gail was born in Kellogg, Idaho, and raised on the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River.
One of her favorite pastimes was fishing in the “fishing hole” on their property. After graduation, Gail joined the Peace Corps and absolutely loved Jamaica. She came back to the States and pursued her doctorate in education. She was a dedicated employee of various school districts and even taught at several Universities during her retirement years.
Her favorite activities were traveling with friends and golfing. She had so many stories to share about both adventures.
Gail is now pain-free and dancing with her parents!
Her memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at the Community United Methodist Church, 1470 W. Hanley Ave., Coeur d’Alene, ID 83815.
