Gail Preller

Gail Preller was born in New Haven, CT, January 26, 1945, just two days after her husband Fred, in the same hospital. Gail passed away on February 3, 2024, in Reno, NV, surrounded by her loving family. She had just turned 79.

Gail retired from teaching and technology and moved to Reno with Fred. They travelled the world, cruising in Europe, South America, and beyond, visiting Hawaii as often as they could.

Here’s what we learned from her death: do your cardio and hug your family, early and often.

Here’s what we learned from her life: TRAVEL, explore, connect with people, tip generously, eat drink and be merry, celebrate the little moments, feed the birds, decorate your nest, do the things that make your life easier, be productive, find your tribe, adopt people who make you happy, say what you think (but watch your language!), drink coffee, watch the sunrise, gaze at the stars, collect rocks, take lots of photos, crochet like crazy, have fun, never miss an opportunity to laugh or to make someone laugh, be brilliant. Life is for LIVING, so live it

Gail is survived by her loving husband Fred, her two daughters Mary and Margaret, her sisters Donna and Holly, and her brother Howard. She joins her parents, Frances and Howard, and her brother Frank who predeceased her. Her grandchildren, Zoe and Owen, will treasure the precious time they had with their Gigi.
