Gail’s life was one of care taking to her family, friends, and her church. She cherished her childhood summers spent in Eastport, Maine and traveling with her husband. Her love of music was varied and shared with her children and grandchildren. Quick to laugh and slow to judge, she faced all of her challenges with strength, courage, faith, and humor. 

She was a Hospice Volunteer for All Care Hospice, a Eucharistic Minister and member of the St. Vincent De Paul Society at her beloved St. Patrick Parish. Gail felt very strongly that it is our duty to “do what you can”.
