Gail was born on January 19, 1934 in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada, the daughter of David Robertson and Edna (Robinson) Robertson. She grew up in Clarkston, MI and attended high school there as well. On November 1, 1952 she married Stanley Nivelt in Clarkston, MI. Gail was an only child and was very proud of the fact that her four children were able to create a gigantic family, nearly 30 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, for her to love. Family was everything to her and she was enthusiastic to go on any adventure that the whole family could engage in. Over the years those adventures included snowmobiling, swimming, camping, tobogganing, boating, four-wheeling, amusement parks, listening to music and dancing. Gail also loved sweets, reading, drama, and debate. She had an amazing zest for life and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
