After a long and courageous battle with illness, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Gail Ruth Derus.
Her loving sons Chris and Adam take great comfort in knowing that she has been
reunited with her beloved John. Cherished grandmother to Owen. Deeply missed by brother and sister-in-law Steve and Lilian Pieczora and nephew Stefan.
Gail will always be remembered for her kind heart, strength and love for her family. Gail had a strong passion for teaching and took pride in being a school teacher, retiring from St. Columba elementary school. Gail is loved very much by her children, and adored by friends throughout her life and the students she has taught.
Due to the current health restrictions, a private interment will be held at Eastlawn Cemetery, Hamilton, ON.
