*Email and phone numbers will NOT be displayed online


I met Gayle in 2014 or 2015 while taking a colored pencil class at Stevenson. We exchanged phone numbers with a couple of others in the class, and met outside of class at Starbucks in Long Grove to color. Gayle was a great organizer of these coloring sessions. We also went to the Chicago Botanic Garden often, whether it was to see the Orchid Show or walk around the gardens and get inspired by the beauty. We went to the Art Institute, too.Through our classes together and through frequent coloring sessions, I got to know Gayle and really admired her work and accomplishments. I was also impressed that she was taking courses through the Spertus College. She had a quest for knowledge!

Gayle enjoyed talking about all of her grandchildren. I was impressed at how often she saw her AZ grandchildren since it’s a long plane ride. We liked to share milestones since my grandchildren are close in age to hers.

Last fall and winter, I met Gayle several times at Sky Fitness for afternoon workouts. We worked out in the Move Strong area of the center which was always empty in the afternoons. We both diligently wore our KN95 masks. During our workouts, we talked about the challenges in caring for our aging mothers.

I wish I had known Gayle for a much longer time. She became a close friend and I will miss her very much.

Mark and I worked at Inteliquent and so I met Gayle several times at different work functions and events. Mark always smitten with her and proud of her achievements, would introduce Gayle as Doctor. Mark and Gayle soon became fixtures on our invitation list for parties. Her demure approach always in contrast with my imagined trials and tribulations of a woman achieving a Doctor of Dentistry in the 80's. She had to have enormous drive and ambition yet carried herself with such calm and kindness. I will remember her with respect and grace.
