Four years later her daughter Karly was born, and this fulfilled the family she wished for. When the children were in elementary school Gail was employed by the Scappoose School District at Otto Petersen Elementary. Miss Gail, as known by the students, spent 25 years as a Teachers Aide until she retired in 2020. Gail cherished every moment she had with all the students that came through Otto Petersen School.
