Gail worked for many years as a waitress at the Italian Kitchen. She was a member of Our Lady of the Rosary Church and was previously a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  She enjoyed traveling and was blessed to have the opportunity to visit Aruba seven times.

Her greatest accomplishment and pride were her children and grandchildren.  She was sure to attend all their events, from ball games to recitals.  Throughout her life there may have been challenges along with victories, but she made certain by the grace of God, that her family experienced the joy and love she shared.  

A special thanks to the wonderful people at Jewish Healthcare Center for their care, compassion and dignity shared with Gail.

A Memorial Mass will be on Saturday, June 24, at 10 AM in Our Lady of The Rosary Church, 25 Fales Street, Worcester.
