She also completed her Gateway Training certification in 1999. For many years she taught technical writing, composition, creative writing and speech courses at local community colleges. Gail served as Project Coordinator for the Supplemental Instruction Program and tutored writing at Project Success for Penn Valley Community College. Gail enjoyed teaching and helping others to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. In 2000, she met her soulmate Richard Doray.  They were married on May 21, 2004, in Arkansas. Many wonderful memories were made traveling in the United States and Canada. She loved nature and especially owls, a highlight was visiting the Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre in Moose Jaw and adopting an owl named Peanut.  She enjoyed staying in touch with her friends thru Facebook, sharing her intuitive gift reading tarot cards and always giving credit where credit was due. If she received good service, she would call the manager over and praise the service.
