GINA GALE THORNTON TOLAND,

39, of North Little Rock, passed from this life on January 20, 2021. She was born April 1, 1981, in Springfield, Mo., the daughter of Charles and Sara Payne Thornton. Gina was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her kind and loving nature carried over into her career as a Respiratory Therapist, where she treated every patient like they were family.
