Please See MORE OBITUARIES B9, B10, B11 Gail E. (Oster) Frics Mom, 20 years ago now, God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. He put His arms around you, and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and fade away. Although we bear to lose you, we could not ask you to stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, your hard working hands rested on January 10, 2003, two days before your birthday.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. We love you Mom. Your loving sons, Paul and Chris Passed away on December 25, 2022 in Omaha, and was born in Yankton, SD September 8, 1942.

She had never met a person that was not instantly a friend. She loved her husband, children, grandchildren and furry friends with all of her heart. She gave to others. She loved color and clothes. She was always impeccably dressed in an entirely bright-colored ensemble and her signature pink lipstick.
Her motto was always better to be overdressed than She is survived by her six children: Lisa, Tony (Dynelle), Todd (Cindy), Troy, Ty (Lori), and Jennifer (Greg); 13 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
