It is with profound sadness that the family of Lena “Gail” Stevens announce her passing on Sept 20, 2024 at Charles Curtis Memorial Hospital at the age of 61. Throughout the last decade she had struggles with her health. She fought a long and hard battle to stay with her family to watch them grow and shower them with love- until the lord called her home.

Gail was married to her true love Tom for 20 years. In her good health when you would see one you would see the other- whether it was fishing, hunting, in the woods and on their evening drives. Throughout the last few years the sickness took over her body but her true love, Tom, was always by her side through sickness and health.

Left to mourn is her husband Tom; Sons: Ronnie Glenn (Amanda), Scott Stevens (Lorna); Daughter: Sherry Pilgrim (Tyson); Granddaughter: Sierra and Karen (Ge); Grandsons: Scott (Mackenzie), Tyrone (Jalyse), Devon (Shandi); and great-granddaughter Avery; Brother: Everton Patey; Sisters: Alma Hillier (Bryan), Leona Patey (Roy), Carolann Patey (Rob), Sandra Patey (Eric), Betty Patey (Overton); Special Niece: Joanne Strangemore (Sam); Special Nephews: Gabe and Parker; Homecare worker: Cathy Tucker; Lifelong friend: Marilyn Walker (who stood by her side during her last few days) and Richard Richards for all his visits and laughs. She also leaves to mourn a large circle of nieces, nephews, in laws, family and friends.

Gail is predeceased by her parents: Elizabeth and Thomas Patey & Sybil and Lloyd Patey; Brother: Kirby and Sisters: Rhonda and Pearl.

The family would like to thank the staff in the Dialysis, Intensive care and Palliative Care unit at Charles Curtis Memorial hospital who took such great care of her over the last few years.
