Gail Louise Goodchild

March 19, 1951 - July 14, 2022

Gail worked for American Home and Hardware for twenty plus years. The people she worked with, weren’t just co-workers, they were also her second family who she loved very much. She took great joy in going on family vacation to Kure Beach in NC. Gail loved to do any type of crafts from crocheting to home remodeling and putting puzzles together. Her greatest joy in life was horseback riding with Kirsten, playing games with Aiden, and dance recitals with Alexis. If you knew Gail, you knew she always loved a good Christmas movie on the Hallmark and Lifetime channels.

Gail is survived by her two children: Richard Paul Shoemaker and his wife, Holly, and Jamie Lynn Ohl and her husband, Jason; three grandchildren: Kirsten Kehalani Whaling, Alexis Leilani Shoemaker, and Aidan Bryant Whaling; sister, Patsy Nixon; and two grand pups: Bentley and Moose.

In addition to her parents, Gail is preceded in death by her two brothers: Marvin Jarrell, Jr., and Larry Jarrell.

Per Gail’s wishes, she did not want any services. The family will be doing something privately with immediate family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made payable to “American Cancer Society” and send in care of R.T. Foard Funeral Home, 259 East Main Street, Elkton, MD 21921.

I am so sorry for you loss. Gail was my friend/ family. I've known her for 20 plus years from American Home and Hardware she took care of my account. When my dad passed in 2015 she was there as a friend. When my husband passed in 2020 Gail helped me get my husband ashes home. My condolences are with her family. ? She was a wonderful lady. RIP Gail Fly High my Angel.

I worked with Gail she was always the highlight of my day. She either made me laugh when I needed it or I made her laugh when she needed it. Rest In Peace Gail.

Miss Gail has been our neighbor for over 10 years. She was always a pleasure to see outside. When our young son passed away, she was there with kind words and I haven’t forgotten them. My heart is with those closest to Miss Gail. Much love to your whole family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
