Gail Elizabeth Ohly
Gail Elizabeth Ohly was born on December 17, 1953 in Kansas City, Missouri to Thomas J. Angold and Rita K. Angold (Mulcahey). Gail met the love of her life (Paul Ohly) in 1968, and they married six years later in 1974. Gail and Paul were blessed with three children who, along with their grandchildren, were the joy of her life. The great work of Gail’s life was raising her children. Gail earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Winona State University in 1995 and dedicated many years to Ohly Law Office. She gave herself the title of “bookkeeper,” but those who worked with her understand that a title fails to encapsulate her many contributions.
Gail died on August 13, 2022 after a brief illness. She was constantly surrounded by family during the last weeks of her life. Gail was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Rita Angold, and her sister, Carol Andreason. Gail is survived by her husband, Paul Ohly; her children, Travis Ohly (Josie), Rachel Ohly (Dain) and Zachary Ohly (Danika); her eight grandchildren: Isabelle, Tristan, Lennon, Eleanor, Olive, Juniper, Charlotte and Harrison; and her brother, Jeff Angold (Leah).
A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 PM (Visitation at 1:00 PM) on August 19, 2022 at St. Pius X Church, 1315 12th Ave NW, Rochester, MN 55901. Gail will be interred at Oakwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gail’s name to either of the following:

My deepest sympathies to all of the Ohly family, this is beyond devastating and such a huge loss. My heart goes out to all of you.
Dear Paul and Ohly Family,
So sorry for your loss! While I know many family members through working with Ohly Law, I never had the opportunity to meet Gail. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of grief. Cherish the memories to give you strength and comfort. Prayers to the Ohly family!
To the Ohly family my deepest sympathy. I worked with Gail many, many years ago at Norwest Bank, now Wells Fargo. She always came to work with a smile on her face and made our days very enjoyable. She was fun to work with and I loved her quick wit. Keep all your memories of her close to your heart in the days ahead. She was a wonderful person.

Paul and Ohly Family,
David and I are saddened having heard of Gail’s passing. We were fortunate to experience her beauty and grace in our shared participation and support of Lourdes High School and during our visits to the Ohly Law Firm.
We pray for Gail and each of the Ohly family members as you honor her life and feel her loss.
God Bless
Teresa and David Silker
I will miss Gail’s unique talent of being the glue to keep the extended Ohly family together. She REALLY stepped up while Mom & Dad Ohly were aging. She always treated Lou & Bev with such kindness and respect. She happily put up with the rest of us Ohly’s! On top of being a wonderful Mother, Wife, & Grandmother she was an awesome Sister-in-Law. RIP GAIL! You will be greatly missed.
Sending Lots of my love the to My Big Brother Paul, Travis & Josie, Rachel & Dain, Zach & Danika, & The eight grandkids!
Love Mary Anderson- Ohly

Paul and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss of such a beautiful soul. I know you will miss her and it is so hard to believe she is gone.
She was such a dear friend/my other sister growing up. We had such a wonderful childhood and great memories from grade school throughout college. She was one in a million and I will treasure my memories of her forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Her love will be a part of you forever until you meet her again.
Kathy and Dennis McKee
Our family felt blessed to be a part of your family traditions for 30+ years. Even though she had the largest family in town, she always pulled the extended family together whenever the opportunity. Gails generosity will be remembered and cherished.
Our heart is heavy and aches for your loss.
Love,
Judy and Louie
