Walter

Gail A. Walter, 76, of Sturgeon Bay died unexpectedly at home on Thursday, November 5, 2026. She was born in Algoma on August 20, 1950, to Allen and Clara (Soquet) Jenerjohn. She started school in Algoma, then after her freshman year the family moved to Forestville and opened Al & Clara’s Tavern. Gail transferred to Southern Door High School and graduated in 1968.

After high school she worked for a short time and then in 1969 became an Army wife. She married Jerry Walter, and they lived in Germany and traveled Europe for approximately one year while Jerry was in service. Upon returning home they settled into married life and had four children whom she is survived by: Troy (Bonnie) Walter, Tracie (Jeff Ladwig) Walter, Travis Walter, Trent (Kayla Nooyen) Walter.

She is also survived by her grandchildren and the loves of her life: Ali (Nicole) Walter, Austin (Erica) Walter, Tristan (Eliana Schroeder) Walter, and her very, very adored great-grandson, Casey Walter. She adored that little boy and would often say that we need a “Casey” fix. We also can’t forget her little fur babies, Axel and Winnie - she had such a special relationship with them.

She is also survived by her especially loving siblings Gregg & Jane Jenerjohn, Jilaine Tlachac, Kay & Ken Virt (Preceded in death by three amazing brothers-in-law, Ken Tlachac, Glen LeCloux, and Ruben Walter).

She is further survived by Steven (Vickie) Walter (brother-in-law) and many nieces and nephews and friends whom she all truly adored.

Gail was preceded in death by her father and mother, husband, Harvey Walter, father-in-law, Bernice (Vandertie) Walter, mother-in-law, Roger Walter, brother-in-law.
