Gayle enjoyed quilting, cross stitching, sewing, and making coloring book bags for young children who were patients at the University of Minnesota Cancer Treatment Center. She especially enjoyed traveling and visiting with family and friends. She was a member of First United Methodist Church and was an avid Minnesota Twins fan. Christmas was a special time for Gayle. She kept the Christmas spirit for the entire year as she had a Christmas room in her home. Gayle is survived by her husband, Terry, of Watertown; one son, Paul (Leslie) Satterlee of Minneapolis, MN; one daughter, Susanne (Troy) Langer of Dewitt, MI; six grandchildren: Christian Langer, Carrson Langer, Cameron Langer, Catherine Langer, Beo Satterlee, and Avery Satterlee; and one sister, Toni (Tom) Skaff of Norfolk, NE.

| Terry and family, words can't express how much Gayle will be missed by all of us, I am so very sorry that she lost the battle with the cancer but I know she was a fighter so she gave it everything she had. I will miss her very much and will always remember her with such a warm loving heart and a wonderful person. Our prayers are with all of you at this very sad time. |

| Terry, I was just thinking about Gayle last week, thinking she should be about due for a haircut. I was so sad to read in the paper tonight that she had passed away. I enjoyed her so much! You were very lucky to have such a wonderful wife, and I know she was the best Grandma ever, and so proud of her kids. I will always have great memories of her! I will be praying for your family. One of my favorite quotes is...Never put a question mark, where God puts a period. Take care, Cami |
