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

Gail was born in Coupeville June 9, 1955, to Marinus and Lorna (Bauman) Wieldraayer. She attended Oak Harbor schools, graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 1972. She attended Skagit Valley Community College and went on to Seattle Pacific University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music education. She also attended Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa. Gail was periodically employed at Island Title in Oak Harbor.

Music was Gail’s passion, and she served as an organist and hand bell choir director at Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif., for a number of years. She also was organist and pianist at First Reformed Church in Oak Harbor. In addition, she was involved in the Prayer Shawl Ministry and was the Good News Club coordinator and teacher. She enjoyed Celtic music as well.

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 two aunts, Ruth Honcoop and Marlene Wieldraayer. She was preceded in death by her father, Marinus “Tients” Wieldraayer, in 1983, and an uncle, Arlo “Bud” Bauman. Her mother, Lorna Wieldraayer, also passed away April 8 in the same auto accident.
