Gail was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She loved spending her time painting, crafting, fishing, a night out at the casino, but most of all being with her grandchildren and family. Gail was a nurse and enjoyed working at Terrebonne General Neurology Care with all her amazing coworkers. Even during her fight with cancer she was beautiful, graceful, and strong. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
