Gail Anne Stine

Gail Anne Stine, 81, of Vernal, UT passed away on February 4, 2021. Gail was born in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Gail was vivacious and had a great zest for life. Her fun-loving personality drew people to her throughout her life. From very early on, Gail was a daredevil - starting with climbing and jumping off of trees, houses, or whatever she could find. As she got older, her adventurous approach turned to things like skydiving and SCUBA diving. She loved to travel and have new experiences, and she always wanted the people with her to have plenty of fun too. In her early years she was a great singer, often having the lead in school musicals and sang in a variety of choral groups. She was always very caring and loved helping people. This approach made her shine in a variety of jobs which all had the common theme of supporting others, and she regularly devoted much time and energy to caring for friends and family. In her later years, as she faced health challenges of her own and needed more assistance, she remained sweet and always grateful for family and friends who helped and cared for her. She is fondly remembered and missed by her family and numerous friends. Gail is survived by her children, Mark Ryle (Sharon) of Vernal, UT and Scott Ryle (Ingrid) of Los Angeles, Ca. Her grandchildren Amanda Gavin (Michael) of Vernal, UT and Charles Ryle of Vancouver, WA. Her great grandchildren Reese and William Gavin of Vernal, UT. Her sisters Patricia Martin (Dewey) of Tylertown, MS and Vicki Gray (Paul) of Taylors, SC. Her nieces and nephew, Brenda Hrivnak (Dave), Wayne Martin (Laura), Aliesha Kingsman (Paul) and Morgan Plant. Gail was proceeded in death by her parents, Charles Leo Southern and Dorothy Margaret Southern and her sister Mara Southern. The family would like to thank the staff at Beehive Homes of Naples and Canyon Home Heath and Hospice for the wonderful care they provided and the love, compassion and dedication they showed to Gail. There will be no memorial services. Her family and friends will have a private gathering to celebrate Gail's life at a later date.
