Gail had many interests and hobbies, including sewing, painting, and crafting. Always creative, she made all of her family’s Christmas gifts this year by hand.

She was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Gail is survived by her children, Sheila Donaway Warrington (Wayne) of Bridgeville and Shane Donaway (Rachel) of Austin, TX; her grandchildren, Beau Warrington (Jenna), Ali Warrington (Kyler LeCates), Bret Warrington, and Sydney Donaway; her great-grandchild, Case LeCates; her brother, Geoff Cropper (Kathy) of Long Neck; many nieces, nephews, cousins and her loyal canine and service companion, Trixie Doodle.
Services will be private. Arrangements have been entrusted to Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Hardesty Chapel, Bridgeville, DE.
