Margaret Gail Kittrell Gunter joined her husband Bill Gunter in heaven on December 31, 2022.
Gail was born April 23, 1945, in Pensacola Florida to Frank and Maggie Kittrell. She graduated from Chipley High School in 1963 and obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Miami. She would become one of the first ARNPs in the Florida panhandle working alongside Dr. William Bruner, Sr. in Marianna for 36 years.
After retiring, she enjoyed fishing, camping, and spending time with the love of her life, Bill, and their dog, Penny. An avid nature lover, she enjoyed spending time on the lake and watching her birds, the fish, and squirrels.
Gail always put others’ needs above her own. Even as she battled breast cancer for 8 years, she was a kind and gentle presence, nurturer, and caregiver to all who knew her, especially her family.
She was preceded in death by her father, Frank Kittrell, mother, Maggie Kittrell, brother Robert Kittrell and husband William “Bill” Gunter Jr. She is survived by Bill’s daughters who she called her own, Canita Gunter Peterson, husband Casey of Panama City and Mini Watson, husband James of Tallahassee. She was overjoyed to be called GiGi by four grandsons, Will Watson, wife Emily, Trent Watson, Chase Peterson, and Colt Peterson. She was also loved, cared and supported by her best friends Roxanne and Jerry McDonald.
A memorial service will be held at Fellowship of Christ Church located at 5717 Highway 77 in Chipley, Florida on Friday, January 6, at 11:00 am (Central Time) with visitation an hour before.
