Peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by family on November 18, 2022 in her 58th year.
Mother to Adrian and Jordan Marceau and her precious best friend “Cozy”. Daughter to the late Evelyn and Steve Taraschuk. Loving sister of Stevie (Pauline) Taraschuk, the late Linda Bloye, the late Michael Taraschuk, the late Jimmy Taraschuk, Mary Anne Taraschuk, Stephanie (Darryl) Morin, the late Brian Gardiner, the late William Gardiner, the late Mike Gardiner, recently united with sister’s Patti and Barbara. Loving godmother and aunt to Douglas Bloye, aunt to Melanie James, Chris Taraschuk, Tyler Taraschuk, Justin & Nathan Briglio, Nicholas & Ryan Morin, Cheryl Hernden and Shaun Gardiner. Great Aunt to Madison, Benny & Emily.
We want to acknowledge the compassion and care given to her from the Sault Ste. Marie Cancer Clinic at Sault Area Hospital, most especially Dr. Spadafora and her nurse Louise, Dr. Booth for her compassion and honesty allowing Gail to find closure with everyone she cared and loved for, Bayshore nurse’s, especially Cindy who made herself available around the clock when needed.
Gail lived most of her adult life in Niagara Falls but returned home for her final days to be with family. She was so brave in her final days and her beautiful soul shone bright in how she wanted to be remembered. She was thoughtful in who she left her final gifts to, remembering those who were most in need. She lived a simple life, and always cared for those in need. She gave generously even when it meant she did without. Her precious fur baby Cozy was her best friend for 13 years and even when it was financially challenging to care for his diabetes she sacrificed. He will be laid to rest with her. Our Lord and Saviour was Gail’s rock and in the end she felt at peace because she knew He would grant her eternal rest & peace.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations can be made in her name to any animal shelter, homeless shelter of your choosing.
