Gail Lee Evans Obituary (2023)

Gail Evans (Badger) was born on March 13, 1951, and went home to our loving Lord in heaven on October 16, 2023. She was born in Fargo, North Dakota, to Miles Harmon Badge and Esther Marie Badger (Bertch). They soon after moved to Yakima, Washington, where Gail would graduate from Eisenhower High School in 1969. She attended college at Yakima Valley Community College, where she took forestry. She later went into cosmetology, which would become her profession of choice. She worked in cosmetology until the mid 1990s. She had quite the clientele that only went to her, even after her departure from the salon. She was very strong and survived breast cancer. She was most at home in the mountains next to a cozy campfire. She is survived by her husband, Ken Evans, sister, Patty Smith (Badger), and her children, Broderick Smith and Ashley Hauser (Smith), brother, Neal Badger, son, Darby Headding (Michelle McDowell Headding), daughter, Torie Headding, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. There is no service planned at this time. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.brooksidefuneral.com.
