Gail (Martinelli) Rossetto, 68

Gail (Martinelli) Rossetto, 68, died Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017, at her home in Kalispell, where she lived a life filled with love.

Gail is survived by her husband, Bennie Rossetto; two loving daughters, Carrie Dahlman (Brock) and Kelly Rossetto Isbell (Matthew); grandsons, Kellen and Bryson Dahlman; sister and best friend, Alison Meehan; brothers-in-law Tony Rossetto (Mary Lou) and Tom Meehan; and wonderful cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. All love her dearly and will miss her nurturing spirit. Gail was preceded in death by her mother and father, Mabel and Kieth Martinelli, brother Richard Martinelli, and nephew Richard Martinelli.

Gail grew up in Roseville, California, and graduated from Roseville High School in 1967. She graduated from UC Davis in 1971, where she also began her life with Bennie (married in 1971). After four years in Salt Lake City and Seattle, they moved in 1977 to Kalispell, where she raised her two daughters and created a wonderful home. Gail was known for her amazing cooking, holiday traditions, bringing family together, and love of games — football, cards, and even pop trivia. She loved traveling and cherished the time she spent back in California with family; in Europe and New Orleans with her sister and brother-in-law; meetings and hunting trips with her husband; and visits to Austin, Boston, New York, and Coeur d’Alene with her daughters. Nothing made her happier than sitting at the dinner table talking with the people she loved and quiet moments with her springer spaniels. She will always be remembered for her sweet smile, laugh, and unconditional support.

Family and friends will forever celebrate Gail’s life and share in all the memories they made with her – a wonderful mom, grammy, wife, sister, and friend.
