Gail Williamson joined the Saint Cecilia Parish Staff in August of 2022. She has enjoyed two career paths in life, split between property management and church management. Gail holds two college degrees – a B.S. in Information Technology and an MBA from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute. She comes from a Protestant background but has become increasingly curious about the Catholic way of life and theology over the years, particularly interested in the deep teachings of men of God like Bishop Robert Barron and theologian Dr. Scott Hahn.
Gail has a 36 year old daughter, Alia, who has been married for 17 years and who has a 12 year old daughter Gracie. She also has a 21 year old son, Britt, who lives with her currently. They also have a furry member of the family, Kweechud (Salish for Elk Dog). He is a 14 year old Norwegian Elkhound, who is super furry and friendly. Gail is a big fan of author J.R.R. Tolkien and can watch the LOTR and Hobbit movies any day. In her spare time, she dabbles with painting in different mediums – acrylics, pastel, mixed media, and alcohol ink.
