Gail M. Pendl

Gail M. Pendl, age 74, of Chilton, died on Sunday, December 10, 2023 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton.  She was born January 12, 1949, daughter of the late Eugene & Margaret (Heyn) Miller.  Gail graduated from high school in 1967 and furthered her education at school for cosmetology.  

She married Vernon Rick on November 9, 1968 and together raised three devoted daughters.  She later married Walter “Skip” Pendl on October 25, 1997 at Hickory Hills Country Club in Chilton.  

Gail was an active member of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Sherwood where she enjoyed her time with her church family and moments spent with her friends in the church book club.  She enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in her yard and was well aware that she was completely responsible for all of the overweight squirrels in the City of Chilton because of all of the peanuts she fed them.  She was an avid quilter and crafter who cherished moments with her family, especially her grandchildren.  Above all else, Gail was blessed to be a devoted and loved child of God.
