Gail passed away peacefully after a brief illness, with her family by her side at the Meaford Hospital.
Her daughter Lynn (Lawrence ‘Larry’ Kerst), sons Don (Bonnie Rose) and Chris, and her grandchildren Alex (fiancée Karly), Cady, and Lauren Eddy (fiancé Alex), were a constant source of pride for her, and she loved to listen to their adventures and encouraged them in their dreams.
After graduating from Wellesley College with a degree in Mathematics, she had a lengthy career in systems analysis and accounting. Her consulting jobs ranged from managing a warehouse in Toronto to teaching in Sierra Leone. She learned from them all and always had something positive and thoughtful to convey to her family and friends.
After travelling around Canada and the world, she settled in the Clarksburg area. She was involved with the establishment and fundraising for the Marsh Street Centre. She enjoyed using her professional skills and abilities to help the community including serving on the Thornbury Library Board.
Thank you to the Meaford Hospital nursing staff for their care and compassion.
A private celebration of Gail’s life will take place at a later date.
As your expression of sympathy, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated and may be made through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford, ON, N4L 1B9, to whom arrangements have been entrusted.
