Gail A. Ackerman's Obituary
Gail A. Ackerman, 66, of Spring Hill, FL passed away Saturday, April 20, 2013. She was born in Barnstable, Massachusetts on March 13, 1947. Gail moved to the Spring Hill area in 2004 from Denver, CO. She was a member of Springs of Life Family Church on Mariner Boulevard in Spring Hill. Gail is remembered as a big-hearted person who enjoyed bringing joy to people, especially children. She could always make you laugh with a good joke, a funny poster she found online, or through her puppets and bears. She had a passion for photography, snapping pictures of everything around her from airplanes, to flowers, to family and friends. Gail was very fond of her large collection of teddy bears who shared her many adventures and were often seen posing for her camera. Tootsie, Iddy, Toodles and Frump are especially sad at her passing and will miss her dearly. She loved music and had broad musical tastes. One of her favorite artists was a local group named Runa Pacha, but she equally enjoyed listening to bands such as Pink Floyd, and singers such as Ernesto Cortazar. Gail is survived by her daughter, Dorene St. Germain; her loving companion of many years, Dwight L. Pendergraft; Mr. Pendergraft's children: Darren (Natalie), Karen, and Kory; grandchildren: Benjamin, Jocelyn, and Sarah; and great-grandchildren: Bridgette and Lilah. Gail will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A memorial service and celebration of Gail's life will be held at Grace Memorial Funeral Home Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Arrangements are entrusted to Grace Memorial Funeral Home 16931 US Hwy 19 Hudson, FL 34667, Phone: 727-863-5471. www.gracefuneralhomehudson.com
