Adored brother Kenneth Storrs Barrett Jr. Her life-long friend and father of her children, Bruce Gourley. Beloved children Kimberley, Tracey, Douglas and his wife Andrea; and stepchildren Jennie, April, Buffie, and Stuart Jr. Devoted grandchildren Kristen, Brittany, Trevin, Brian B, Alivia, Jacob, Lucas, Sophie, Sean, Ryan, Carlos, Geovanni, Xavier, Esilda, Nickolas, Sebastian, Matthew, Emily, Jimmy, Amanda, Maria, Henry, Jarniel, Tyler, Sarah, Brian M, Hannah. Many great-grandchildren, and her niece and nephew Melanie and Paul; all of whom will cherish her memory forever.

Gail was a very warm hearted, kind, and accepting woman. She never failed to make you feel comfortable and welcome in her presence. She always called her family members on their birthday to sing "Happy Birthday", and everyone looked forward to that special call. When she wasn't with her family, the ocean was her favorite place to be. She could sit and watch the waves for hours; frequently mentioning how the waves were her favorite sound in the world. Gail was a florist for many years and was able to create beautiful arrangements of flowers. To add to her talent, she was also an amazing painter and loved making many different types of crafts. Numerous paintings hang in the homes of her family and friends, as well as her own home. She adored her dog Zoey and all of the other fur babies she has had over the years. She was especially looking forward to being reunited with Zeena, who passed away last year. Gail will be missed beyond measure, but we are all grateful to have her as our guardian angel beside us always.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend a Memorial Service which will be held at The Original Congregational Church, 1 East Street WRENTHAM, on January 4, 2025 at 11AM with fellowship and a luncheon to follow.
