It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I must report the loss of our beloved “office manager” Gaile Ball. After valiantly battling some health issues for the last couple of years, and progressively worsening over the past few months, last night 04/23/2024 around 7:30pm she suffered a massive heart attack that ultimately took her life shortly after. As big as it was, her heart could only take so much.
Gaile was not only the one who answered the phones at heating/cooling services inc., while she did an excellent job at that, she was much more than that to us. It’s extremely difficult to put into words how much she means to me and my family dating back 4 generations. Gaile has been with us for as long as I can remember (I think 35 years but I’d have to ask her and I can’t anymore🤦♂️), she literally was at my grandfather and grandmothers bed side at their passing, my uncles bedside at his passing, changed my diapers and my children’s diapers. Gaile has been through everything with us, and was always there whenever you needed her, no questions asked and never even thought twice about it. It’s hard for me to imagine a world without her in it because I’ve never experienced it and I’m sure it won’t be a better place. We will persevere through it but it will be difficult, please bear with us through this transition period.
To anyone who has ever had the pleasure of being in the same room, or other end of the phone, with her knows that she never met a stranger. She would listen and be genuinely intrigued and invested in conversations with others, never once thinking about herself only about others. Gaile had the most genuine heart full of love, grace and compassion.
Gaile will be sorely missed by many, please keep her life mate Jesse Ball in your prayers as he has to learn to navigate life without his “one and only”. Please keep her daughters Gena Ball and Karen Ball Carithers in your prayers. Her grandchildren Kaci, Doug and Will. They are going through a difficult time right now without their rock and matriarch. Please keep all the many other family members and friends, including us, in your thought and prayers. The Good Lord needed another Angel more than we needed her, it’s a hard pill to swallow but it is in His time not ours.
Thank you Gaile for the decades of dedication and for being who you are, we miss you and we’ll see you on the other side.
