Murphy; a daughter, Kim Kappler and her husband, Michael and their children, Christofer, Ryan and Kaitlyn of Broomfield, CO; a son, Tim Murphy and his daughter, Bryanna of Oakland, CA and a sister, Linda Smathers and her husband, Phil of Canton, NC. Gail was born in Worcester, daughter of Herbert and Carolyn (Bell) Mason and graduated from Auburn High School.
Gail worked as a loan officer for many years, retiring from the Great Western Mortgage Company in Braintree. She had a deep love of reading and her favorite subject was history.

The family would like to thank the staff at UMASS 7 ICU for the wonderful care they provided her and also to her long time friend and doctor, Plutarco Castellanos who was always there whenever she or her family called.

I'm so sad to hear of Gail's passing. I know that she was the light of your life Denis. There will come a time that you will be with her again. Until then keep her memory close.

My thoughts are with you Denis and your family. Gail was a wonderful woman. I knew her well since Jr. High school and had a million laughs and long talks with her. Though geography distances us, the heart stays forever close to those you love. Glad the three of us had a good get together at the 50th reunion. I am writing this from Ushuaia, Argentina, the bottom tip of the South American continent. Again geography divides but my thoughts for you and your family are loving. Bill Van Hunter New York City

Gail knew her Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ and is therefore in heaven. We will see her again in heaven if we confess that Jesus is our
Lord and Savior. Since no one comes to the Father except through Jesus, it is essential that we confess Jesus as Lord and Master and seek to follow him in our daily lives.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to Denis and the family. Gail was a lovely woman and I was blessed to have the pleasure of knowing her. She was not only the best boss I ever had but a wonderful friend. We enjoyed many times together over coffee or a few glasses of wine discussing politics and solving the problems with our world. I loved her intelligence, wit and sense of humor. RIP Gail till we meet again...
