GAIL ANN WIELDRAAYER
Gail Ann Wieldraayer, 59, of Oak Harbor went to be with our Lord on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 due to injuries sustained in a single-car automobile accident near Anacortes.

Gail was born in Coupeville on June 9, 1955 to Marinus “Tients” and Lorna (Bauman) Wieldraayer. She attended Oak Harbor schools, graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 1972. Gail then attended Skagit Valley Community College and went on to Seattle Pacific University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Performance. Gail also attended Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa where she received her teaching certificate. Gail taught at the Oak Harbor Christian School in the early 1980’s. She also worked at Island Title in Oak Harbor and Anacortes.

Music was Gail’s passion. She served as an organist and hand bell choir director at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California for a number of years. Gail later became one of the organists and pianists at the First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor and other churches.

Gail shared her love of music by starting “Miss Gail’s School of Music” for young children. In addition, she was involved in the Prayer Shawl Ministry and was the Good News Club coordinator at the First Reformed Church. She enjoyed many genres of music, Celtic music was a favorite. Gail loved to take photographs for scrapbooking and shared all with family and friends. Like her mother, she loved to sew and craft and always had a project in the works. Many friends and family benefited from her handiwork.

Gail is survived by her siblings Roger Wieldraayer (Carole), Richard Wieldraayer (Ling), Carol Sorg (John), Robert Wieldraayer (Anne) and Ryan Wieldraayer (Cheryl), eight nieces and nephews and their spouses, nine grandnieces and grandnephews and her two aunts Ruth Honcoop and Marlene Winkleman. Her father, Marinus “Tients” Wieldraayer, preceded Gail in death in 1983. Her mother, Lorna Wieldraayer, passed away in the same accident.
