Gail Newton Kingsboro

Gail was born May 14, 1922 in Deland, Il to Newton Broze and Zula “Fern” (Borton) Kingsboro.

He was raised on a farm between DeLand and Monticello, Il. In his early years he raced motorcycles and stock cars, but had to settle down eventually.

Gail married Patsy Ruth Maden in Wilmington, Il and they moved to Washington State in 1951. He worked in the Bremerton Shipyards, the Hanford site and a few other places before settling in Yakima and working for Borton fruit. He then worked for West Valley School District retiring as head of maintenance in 1984. He and Patsy worked part time for Pepsi for several years before retiring completely.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family and friends. Gail lost his best friend Patsy on March 4th 1998 and only bided his remaining time on earth until he could join her in eternity. Gail is survived by a son, Gary (Pamela) Kingsboro and a daughter Renee Kingsboro; two grand daughters Gina Catron and Heidi (Johnny) Martinez and a grandson Paul Kingsboro; and one great grand daughter Haley Kingsboro all of Yakima; one brother Leland (Bonnie) Kingsboro of Monticello, Il and numerous nieces and nephews.

Gail was preceded in death by his wife, Patsy (Maden) Kingsboro, brothers, Merwyn (Mildred) Kingsboro and Karl (Florence) Kingsboro and his sister Esther (Claud) Cody all of Illinois.

The family would like to thank the staff at Good Samaritan Rehabilitation, the Wynwood Staff and the staff at Crescent Healthcare for their care while he was at each place.
