She grew up in Bradford County, surrounded by close-knit generations of loving grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The home base of her rural childhood remained an important touchstone to her throughout her life.

While working as a young secretary at Florida National Bank, she met her future first husband, George Q. Bishop, Jr. They were married in 1962. Their children, Michael L.

Whitehead. She is also survived by her sister, Charlotte Durrance, and by many loving cousins, nieces and nephews. Marge was a strong, beautiful and vivacious lady, with a bright and ready smile and a gift for conversation. She never met a stranger. She adored and enjoyed her friends and extended family and she could always be counted on to bring laughter and fun-loving sparkle to any gathering. She was profoundly committed to her Christian faith and that faith guided and sustained her throughout her life. Marge's determination and resilience were an inspiration to everyone who knew her, and especially to her children. She was for many years an active member of the First Baptist Church of Jacksonville and, later, the First Baptist Church of Orange Park, where she was a member of the Joyful Servers Sunday School class.

They made their home in Chicago, where their firstborn, Erin Kathleen, came into the world. Subsequently, they moved to Minneapolis, MN, where their second child, Thomas Edward II, was born. Amidst job changes and a desire to be closer to family, they relocated to Tom's hometown, LaCrosse, WI, and welcomed their third child, Sarah Elizabeth.

In the early 1980s, after relocating to Walkerton, IN, she returned to school, earning her Associate's degree in nursing from Purdue University. When the family moved to Grand Rapids, MI, she continued her educational journey, obtaining her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Western Michigan University. Her calling emerged later in life, and in her late 40s, Gail became a child psychologist, guiding her patients through life's challenges with compassion and expertise. In their retirement, after being snowbirds from Shipshewana, IN, for several years, she and Tom settled in the Jacksonville, FL, area to be closer to their youngest daughter, Sarah. They enjoyed golfing, playing cards, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends. She developed a passion for quilting and made quilts for everyone she loved. Gail was known for a smile that could light up a room, quick wit, and kind heart. Gail is survived by her husband of 61 years, Thomas Houlihan, daughter Erin (Robin) Harper, son Thomas Houlihan II, and daughter Sarah Firpo.
