Gail (Odegard) Robinson
Gail (Odegard) Robinson, 63, of Atlanta passed away peacefully on June 30, 2025, surrounded by her family. Gail was preceded in death by her mother, Carol Ann (Druml) Odegard. She is survived by her father LeRoy Odegard, step-mother Jo Odegard, brothers, Anthony (Cindy), Alan (Heidi) and Jason Taft (Lisa), her sister Audrey Thiault (Pierre) and her former, but still devoted husband, John Robinson.
Gail has always been a creative, charismatic and fun-loving person. She was very successful at leasing apartments in her first career and throughout her life was sought after to promote new properties. Later she started a second-hand and consignment clothing business in Lilburn called “What To Wear?”. With this store and her personality, she brought joy to customers by helping them put together attractive outfits in a fun atmosphere. About 15 years ago, Gail embarked on another career when she moved to Los Angeles, California where she earned a degree and launched her career in hypnotherapy. As a hypnotherapist, Gail helped and supported many clients by working with them to resolve unhealthy habits, fears and other life challenges. Gail’s skills as a hypnotherapist, along with her clear sense of caring, brought joy into the lives of many of her clients.
Gail moved back to Atlanta in 2023. These last two years were signified by a deepening of her bond with her father and step-mother (of 49 years) by spending a lot of quality time with them and the rest of her family. These last years were precious for Gail and the family, as the distance between her and them was closed geographically as well as spiritually.
Celebration of life and mass will be Monday, July 14 at 3:00 pm at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 2560 Tilson Rd., Decatur GA 30032

One day soon I’ll take your hand and we will walk along a star filled sky and plan to do all the things we missed doing in this life. The day will wake up, the birds will sing,and angels will sigh, for my love for you will never die. Look down on me now and please try to ease my troubled mind, extinguish the pain I am feeling, and let me experience your essence. For there are no words that can begin to tell the story of my love for you.
We are burying you next to your mother so I will not be able to visit you as much as I need to. I know it best for you but it really hurts me so. I have a special part of you in an urn and every morning when I wake up and every evening before I sleep we will talk to each other in my mind.
Please forgive me for every mean thing I ever did and remember all the good times we had shared. There isn’t a woman alive that could ever take your place because your place will always be first in my heart. I could go on and on because there are so many things I should have said and never did and there were so many moments we could have shared but never did. Just feel my love because it is pouring out of my heart. I have to go now but we will talk again later on. Stay as sweet as you are and know that there isn’t a soul that could love you more.
All my love and then some,
John
