Carlson, Gail Jean Age 82. Formerly of Brooklyn Park & McGregor, Minnesota and Apache Junction, Arizona. Gail was born in Minneapolis on December 30th 1935. Gail died peacefully in her sleep at home on October 13, 2018. Gail was married to Wendell G. Carlson for 50 years and missed him terribly for over 10 years. She will be deeply missed by her three children Lane (Marcia) Carlson, Laura (Scott) Miller, and Lisa (Nick) Petersen and her grandchildren Audrey, Jacob, Justin, Carolyn and Wendy. Gail was preceded in death by her parents Duane & Isabelle Shephard and stepfather Walter Shubert, her sister Marcia Donnelly and grandson Peter Wendell Carlson. Gail loved all animals and was the neighborhood "nurse" to any critter that needed help. Gail was a stay at home mom until her kids were older, then she worked at Homeward Bound in New Hope for over 15 years until she and Wendy retired and traveled around the country in their R.V. before settling in Apache Junction, Arizona. Gail will be remembered for her "spunkiness" and kept that trait until the very end! At the request of Gail there will be no immediate memorial ceremony. She just requests that the family get together to share stories and remember her when the weather is warm!
