Story
Gail Paulus passed away in January 2022 after a 15 year battle with cancer. During her 64 years Gail lived a full life – a 35 year marriage to Steve, mother to Kirsta and Kyle, grandmother to John, “mother” to six golden retrievers and labs, world traveler. Gail’s personality and giving spirit could light up a room. An active church and community volunteer in any area in which her family lived, Gail became active in Pentwater when she and Steve purchased a home there in 2014. While she loved being outdoors and rarely missed a south breakwater sunset, her true passion was helping at risk children – those in and aging out of the foster care system, and those in elementary schools. The Gail Paulus Family Fund has been established in Gail’s memory to help these kids in Oceana County and to reflect her credo “Love God and Love People.”
