Gail Jeanette (Bergen) Loveless was born in Bakersfield, CA on September 24, 1947, to parents, Jake and Vivian Bergen. She became a Christian at age 7 and was baptized at the age of 12 at Shafter Mennonite Brethren Church, where she remained a life-long member. Gail re-dedicated her life to the Lord when she was attending Hartland Christian Camp in Jr. High. She graduated from Shafter High in 1965 before moving to Kansas for her college education.
