Gail Lynn Chaffee, 65, of Norwalk, Ohio, passed away Friday, June 5, 2015 in the Stein Hospice Care Center, Sandusky, Ohio.
She was born October 26, 1949 in Norwalk, Ohio, and was a 1967 graduate of Norwalk High School.
Gail was a former resident of Riverside, California, where she worked for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for 23 years, and returned to Norwalk, Ohio in 2014. She attended St. Peter Lutheran Church, Norwalk, Ohio, and was a former employee of the Huron County Draft Board, and the State Liquor Store in Norwalk, Ohio.
Gail loved people and was known for her wit and zest for life. Her warmth and gift for joy drew people to her. She was curious, adventurous, game for anything. The friends she made were her friends for a lifetime, from kindergarten on up. She loved decorating, making a house a home. She enjoyed thrift store shopping for "treasures", traveling, and baking (especially cookies and cupcakes). She loved nothing more than sitting around her dining room table with her family and friends.
She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Dennis A. Chaffee of Norwalk, Ohio, by her loving daughters, Kimberly L. Adams and Shannon M. (Mark) Riley, both of Norwalk, Ohio. Gail is also survived by her devoted mother, Roseann (Stalnecker) White of Riverside, California, by her grandchildren, Brooke Ann Wright, Nicholas Lee Wright, Mitchell Scott Adams, Dennis Matthew Adams, and Lauren Kathryn Adams, by her great grandchildren, Kayden Scott Adams, Lana Gail Rose Adams, Bently Michael Wright, and Jacen Elliot Wright, all of Norwalk, Ohio, and by her loyal brother, Clyde (Linda) White Jr. of Huron, Ohio.
She was preceded in death by her father, Clyde White, and by her brother, William White.
