Gail retired from Grafton/Westborough State Hospital after 33 years of service as a mental health worker and in her last three years of employment was promoted to Mental Health Worker 4. She was a member of the local 1153 and recording secretary of the union for many years.

Gail’s love of her life, Bob, was her rock, best friend and soul mate. She was a friend, confidante and role model to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was generous, loving, supportive and unselfish when it came to her family. She will always be remembered for sitting at the kitchen table spending countless hours gabbing to her adoring family, her collection of pocketbooks and the mountain of couch pillows that adorned every chair she sat in.

She enjoyed going to Foxwoods, Hampton Beach and cherished her dearly departed dog Abbie and her kitten Peeps. In her spare time, she enjoyed crocheting, listening to the music of Johnny Mathis and playing cards with her family and close friends. Gail was always full of sass, always enjoyed a new hairstyle and more than willing to offer her advice. You could always tell the time by her daily customary Dunkin Donuts deliveries. She will be forever loved and missed by all.

All are welcome to gather with Gail’s family and friends on Wednesday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Roney Funeral Home, 152 Worcester St., North Grafton, followed by a prayer service at 12 p.m. in the funeral home. She will then be laid to rest at Pine Grove Cemetery in North Grafton.
