Gail was raised in Providence, where she attended elementary and high schools at St. Charles Borromeo Parish before attending Ladycliff College in New York. She then went on to be trained as a laboratory technician, a field in which she worked in parts of Providence, Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Gardiner, Maine for many years.
A wonderful and devoted mother, she leaves her three children: Christopher Leake, his partner, Kristine Johnson, and his daughter, Milana of Gardiner, Maine; Elizabeth Duschang, her husband Mark Duschang, and their children Michael and Peter of Pawtucket; and Jennifer Moody, her husband William Moody and their children Jane and Matthew of Winchester, Massachusetts. She also leaves her sister, Dr. Louise Paquin of North Kingstown, and the family of her late brother William F. Paquin Esq.: his wife Elizabeth Paquin of Warwick, and his children: Michael T. Paquin of Essex, Vermont and wife Paula Palermo, and Susan K. Tyszkowski of Warwick, husband Dr Ronald Tyszkowski, and their children Ava and Zane.
Her family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Kent County Hospital and the VNA Hospice for their compassionate care.
