Gabrielle Haley

1937 - 2021

Gabrielle Haley, 83, died on March 1, 2021 with her family by her side. Gay was born October 2, 1937, in Westford, MA, the 10th and final child to Rosaire and Marie Brule. It was in the little town of Forge Village that she met her lifelong love, her husband Steve Haley. Steve and Gay married on April 12, 1958 and moved to Enfield, CT. With Rev. Francis Kerwan and members of the community, Steve and Gay were founding members of Holy Family Parish in Enfield. Gay was passionate about protection of the unborn and her service to the church community; as a lector, a Women's Guild member, and volunteer for The Society of St. Vincent dePaul. Gay was predeceased by Steve in 2003, her loving husband of 45 years. Gay's children and their spouses, Steve Jr. & Lori, Maureen & Dan, and Katie & Mark, are forever grateful for her love, support, sense of humor, and the deep faith in God that she and Steve instilled in them. Her grandchildren Amanda, Stephen, Megan, Jack and Henry remember their Grammy as their best friend, their confidant, their favorite babysitter. Gay was never happier than when her home was filled with her grandchildren - they were the true joy and light of her life. Gay is survived by many nieces and nephews whom she loved so much, and too many special friends to name. A Mass celebrating Gay's life will be held on Friday, March 5th at 11am at Holy Family Church in Enfield, CT. Please meet at church. A livestream will be available at https://sjjenfield.org/hf-live-stream Burial will be at a later date, at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to National Right to Life/Birthright at https://facts.nrlc.org/donate/ or St. Vincent de Paul Society, c/o St. Jeanne Jugan Parish, 23 Simon Rd., Enfield, CT 06082.
