Gail Hettrick

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

I met Gail as a fellow Wisconsin Nurses Honor Guard volunteer. She was a friendly dedicated nurse and we shared many nursing experiences. I will miss her smiling face and her warm hugs.

Gail came into the Shamrock Club about the time my body pulled me out of participating physically in the activities. I was there long enough to be impressed with her volunteer spirit. Gail gave the Club all that she could to keep the scholarship program going. Last year when I showed up at the picnic and installation of officers she promptly indicated I should sit near her. We were thrilled to have her as a member of the Irish Roses. When asked how that membership happens, I usually respond that one needs to just work her butt off. That comment usually receives a chuckle as a response but the truth of the matter hasn't changed. Gail continued to work so hard for the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin.

I work in the nursing float pool at UW hospital and had the privilege of working with Gail a lot when I went to the oncology hematology floor. I always knew when Gail was there it would be a better day. I don’t ever remember her, not being in a good mood with a smile on her face. She loved what she did and was so skilled and talented. Rest in peace Gail. ❤️🙏

One of the best nurses I ever had the pleasure to work with, and to come from B6/6 says a lot! She was so steady and compassionate in her delivery and I believe one of the longest lasting RNs to work on a very challenging nursing units. I love 'What Would Gayle Do" RIP Gayle, you did some wonderful work!
