Gail Wilson Obituary

My daughter, Morgan, and I were fortunate enough to spend a week with Gail and Harlan on a mission trip to Belize with John Wesley a number of years ago. It provided some of the best memories that still make me smile and it made us forever friends. It always made my heart happy to see Gail and Harlan in church on Sundays, always just one or two pews behind us. It took my breath away when I learned that I would never see her smile or feel her hand in mine again here on Earth. She will be so missed by everybody who knew and loved her. I am praying for her family as they adjust to life with her watching down on them from Heaven. Gail was such a special person who exuded the love of Christ to all she met.

I am one of Harlan's colleagues who came together for study and fellowship that led to Dr. of Ministry (dmin) degrees in 1991. But it was much more than that. We continued to gather almost annually as friends over these 30 plus years. Harlan and Gail exuded southern charm and personality. Gail was very dear to us. In recent years we have gathered monthly by zoom. When Gail couldn't be in the room she was very much missed. We love her and now celebrate her transition into the heavenly kingdom of God.

Gail welcomed us to John Wesley UMC in 2012 with a personal note. She was a kind and loving person and always asked how we were doing. She will be missed by many.

I first met Gail when I joined John Wesley Church. Over the next months, we became friends. Over the years I have treasured our friendship. I will never forget having Sunday lunch in a park in Mt. Pleasant with Gail and Harlan along with several others during Covid. When I moved back to my hometown, we stayed in touch. I will always remember her smiling face and loved our visits over the phone. I was shocked when she passed away suddenly. Harlan and Cherie, my heart breaks for your loss. She will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of Gail´s passing. Harlan and Gail usually sat in front of me and my family at church. She was always so lovely and kind to everyone. She will surely be missed.

Cherie please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother best to you and your family Vic

What a very sad loss for all of us. Gail was an amazing human being who radiated joy and love and peace to everyone she encountered. She had such a giving and caring spirit, and I just don't think they make many like her. She leaves a beautiful imprint on the world, and it will take a while to adjust to how all those who loved her will carry on except by cherishing all the loving memories that she brought to so many and knowing that she is safe in God's hands. Sending prayers and love to the family at what I know is a difficult time
