Gail Elizabeth Torgerson (Nee: Murrell)
June 13, 1943 (Montreal, QC) - July 15, 2025 (Aldergrove, BC)
Gail embraced life with untamed energy and a profound appreciation for beauty, nature, and dance. Adventurous and spirited, she delighted in competitive dancing, hiking, exploring the outdoors, and savoring life’s finer pleasures. Her radiant presence, sharp wit, and generous heart touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Gail was the proud mother of Scott Williams and Michael Williams, mother in law to Beth, and a deeply loved grandmother to Jonathan, Richard, Mark, Shaylene, Kathryn, and Susannah (Scott’s children), and Jenah and Calee (Michael’s children). Gail had 3 siblings: Bob, Donna, and Billy.
Gail had several unions in her life: including to Terry Williams, Case Scoutin, Max McLaren, and Brent Torgerson, before meeting her final love. Each union marked a unique chapter in her richly lived life. In the end, Gail was lovingly cared for by her husband Brent Prettigrew, who remained steadfast and devoted through her final years. With his compassionate care, Gail was able to remain at home throughout her journey with dementia, surrounded by comfort and dignity.
A longtime member of Emmanuel Pentecostal Church, Gail lived her faith with quiet strength and worked with dedication and integrity as a government employee for several decades. Her joy, resilience, and fierce love will be remembered always.
