Mary Jo Gale

Board Member-at-Large, Gish House Committee

I’m a Roanoke native, and grew up in the Raleigh Court area of the City. I have a degree in Medical Technology from James Madison University and worked in local hospitals until I left Roanoke to work in the medical (laboratory) device manufacturing industry. After retiring, I moved back to Roanoke from Delaware and now rent the upstairs apartment in my sister Julie’s house on Washington Avenue in Old Southwest. I am really enjoying getting to know the OSW neighborhood and its residents. I love the old houses and especially love Highland Park. Since moving back to Roanoke, I have started watercolor classes at the Studio School. I also enjoy making jewelry and going for hikes in the beautiful part of the world where we live. I previously served on the OSW Board as its secretary.
