Gaile Marie McGettigan

Gaile M. McGettigan passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the Mifflin Center where she resided since July 2026.

Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Marion (Gehris) Plank. She was a graduate of Wilson High School. Gaile married Edward McGettigan, with whom she shared a loving family and raised two daughters.

Gaile was a dedicated employee of Linnette's Candies, where she worked for 48 years. Above all, she cherished her family and especially loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed crocheting and plastic canvas and took pleasure in creating things for those she loved.

She is survived by her two daughters, Susan Moll, wife of John, of Great Falls, VA, and Cynthia Gunning, wife of Philip, of Sinking Spring; two grandchildren, Paula Heisler, wife of Seth, and Kathleen Gunning-Schaeffer, wife of Ronald, all of Sinking Spring; and six great-grandchildren: Grace, Evan, Benjamin, Zachary, Alexander, and Matthew. She is also survived by her niece, Sheila Gilberry, of Boca Raton, FL.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her former husband Edward, and her sister, Betty Scheetz.

Gaile will be laid to rest beside Edward at Gethsemane Cemetery in a private service.

The family would like to give thanks to the staff at Mifflin Center and Compassus Hospice for their wonderful care of Gaile.
