Gail M. Barth
Gail Mary Barth, age 62, of Belmont, WI, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous nine-year battle with breast cancer. She was born on December 10, 1962, to Paul and Mary Kay (Schrobilgen) Barth.
A proud graduate of Belmont High School, Class of 1982, Gail was known for her strong work ethic and warm, friendly personality. She held various jobs throughout her life, including working in the garden center at Farm & Fleet for over 10 years, and as a cashier at the former Belmont Travel Center, and the First Capital Mini Mart. She also enjoyed bartending at Gracie’s Point, where she made lasting connections with many.
Gail is lovingly survived by her children: Chelsea (Brandon Tesack) Galloway, Chiyo Galloway, Christian (Halli Austin) Galloway, and Chantel Galloway. Her cherished grandchildren—Livvi Penniston, Tanklynn and Ray’vion Tesack, and Riviera Galloway, all of Platteville—were the light of her life.
She is also survived by her siblings: Carol (Dan) Ellerbach, Bonnie Hammes, Paula (Ron) Digman, Steve (Sue) Barth, Anita (Ken) Kohout, Gerri Barth, Gene Barth, MJ Dachelet, Brenda (Kris) Enright, Karla (Bob) Stoney, and Ann (Matt) McDowell. Gail leaves behind dear friends Tonja Thomas of California, Cindy Hettinger and her family of Taft, Texas, her Aunt Patricia Hough, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Gail was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Mary Kay Barth; her grandparents, Emil and Mary Barth and Joseph and Margaret Schrobilgen; her brother-in-law, George Hammes; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; her dog Toby; and most recently, her beloved dog, Mocha.
In accordance with Gail’s wishes, no formal services will be held. A private family burial will take place at a later date.
