Gail Morse
March 18, 1943 – February 7, 2026
Gail F. Morse passed peacefully on February 7, 2026.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ron, and is survived by her children, Shawn and Erin.
Gail was an interior designer with impeccable taste and a style all her own. Friends and family never failed to admire her eye for design—or eagerly anticipate what she might be wearing, as her fashion sense was as distinctive as it was elegant. She was an avid traveler, loved to read, and was most at home in her fabulous garden.
She was funny, thoughtful, and private, preferring a life well-lived over one loudly announced. In keeping with her wishes, no services will be held.
