    My condolences to the Tucker family. I’ve known Gail since 1999 when she took a chance on me and hired me for my first posting as a Forest Officer in Rainbow Lake, Alberta. Over the next few decades Gail became a mentor to me and friend and a beloved sister in Christ. I will miss her greatly until we see each other again. Blessings. Jeff

    My very sincere condolences to Gail’s family, and from my wife as well. Gail and I were colleagues in forest management and silviculture. She was a dedicated, knowledgeable and practical professional in all aspects of her work, and, I remember, in her off-work life also, especially her dedication to the Girl Guides of Canada. When Gail moved away from Alberta, I was struck that we probably wouldn’t see each other again, but all of the work in forest management she did up here in northern Alberta was valuable for the future of the Forest Service and she made a very positive mark while she was here. Rest in Peace, my friend.

      Well said Marty. I have many fond moments working with you and Gail during my tenure at the Clearhills Ranger station. We formed a great team as you both showed me how to navigate the rocks and shoals of all things silviculture in the NW corner of Alberta.

    Sincerest condolences to all of Gail’s family and friends. I knew Gail both through work with in Northern Alberta with the government and more through our involvement in Girl Guides. I truly got to know her when we took a group of Girl Guides to an International Girl Guide camp for 10 days in 2006 – all the planning, prep work and the time at camp. She was a mentor to me and many who crossed her path. I appreciated her patience, wisdom, calm presence and willingness to always have a great chat (even if it was late at night around the campfire!)!

    One of the sweetest, kind and caring people taken far too soon. When I worked as a wage Forest Officer outta the East Peace Ranger District from Nov 1990 – March 1991, Gail was my supervisor. She was the Lone Ranger working out of the McLennan Ranger Station. Gail, You were always nice to me and had a ton of patience as you shared your wisdom with us young up and coming forest officers. Your kindness also always
    showed with your love for your pets.

    My sincere condolences to the Tucker family. I remember meeting Gail on one of my first fires in the High Level area. From a Timber management perspective I was grateful to have work with her. She was helpful, knowledgeable and committed to maintaing the forest environment as part of the many hats she wore as a forest professional! Albertans and the government were lucky to have her on their side!

    I was shocked to hear Gail had died. We worked together in Alberta for many years. She was kind, smart, wise and tough when necessary. My condolences to the Tucker family. I am happy she got to return home and enjoy family on the east coast.
