Gail Darpel
Gail Bess (Murray) Darpel, 77, of Edgewood, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 2, 2017 at her residence surrounded by her devoted family. She was born in Montgomery, WV then moved to Kentucky where she graduated from Villa Madonna Academy and then in 1961 from Mt. Saint Joseph as a Registered Nurse. She worked at Good Samaritan in Cincinnati and the Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis in which she opened the ICU nursery. Gail was a member of St. PIus X Church in Edgewood for 51 years, where she was a Eucharistic Minister and was instrumental implementing the school's computer lab and kindergarten program in addition to various other volunteer jobs at St. Pius X. She also volunteered visiting parishioners in nursing homes and at St. Elizabeth Cancer Care. Gail served as the BOTCE President and was an avid gardener. With all her accomplishments, she considered her only "claim to fame" to be a wife, mother and grandmother.
