She was fiercely proud of her Irish heritage and was happy to visit the birthplace of her parents. Gail worked as a secretary and receptionist prior to starting her family. She later volunteered for Meals on Wheels and then worked as a volunteer coordinator. She was a special and compassionate woman who left a positive impact on everyone she met.The family wishes to thank the dedicated staff at Providence Villa for her care during the past few months.
