As a seasoned seamstress, Gail spent many professional years working for Katz's, as well as other factories-she enjoyed sewing at home-creating clothes and costumes for her family. She enjoyed quilting for the elderly and making care boxes for our local shut ins. She enjoyed doing puzzles at home and with other puzzlers, she golfed and played cards and enjoyed weekly lunches with many of her friends.
Gail is survived by her baby brother Lynn Simons (Bonnie) PA/FL and her baby sister Betty Jane Bussa (Jack or John) FL, as well as an abundance of nieces and nephews around the country.

She was preceded in death by her husband William H Brill(1998) and parents Marion & Dean Simons. Her sister Lois Hiller & brothers Sonny, Claude and Gerry Simons. As well as many other loved ones.
Gailsy Wailsy was an avid bowler for most of her long life. So much so that we wonder if God knows that they will have a fierce opponent at Heavens Thunderstorm Bowling Ally, when we all hear the thunder roll we will picture Gail stepping up to bowl a strike or throwing her hocus pocus whammy directly at her opponent so they throw a gutter ball! Gail cherished the many friendships that were created during the decades spent at the ally. She was game for almost anything her kids suggested. She enjoyed traveling our country whether by buses, ships or planes, trains and automobiles. She had her spunky free spirit right till she made her exit. She was brave, courageous, and a rock for her kids. She instilled all those attributes in them!
She was loved by many & will be missed by all.
