Gail was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister and friend who loved her family dearly.  She enjoyed the simple things in life but her greatest joy was her family.  Being a diligent homemaker, Gail filled her home with love and welcomed all who entered.  No matter how busy she was or what was going on, she always put her children first and took great care of them. Gail was a hard worker, and having a big heart, she always took the time to see and meet the needs of others. Gail was a talented seamstress who made her girls clothes when they were small and she was also a great cook.  Gail loved flowers and enjoyed flower arranging.  Being a peoples person, Gail was always willing to take care of others in their time of need.  Gail will surely be missed but treasured memories of her will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

A celebration of life service will be held at 1:00p.m. on Saturday, July 1, 2023 at the home of Gail Bordeaux and Tammy Boone in Rose Hill. .
