MAY 18, 1947 – JUNE 18, 2023
Gail Frances Campbell (nee Goad) passed away peacefully at Sunnyside long term care facility at the age of 76, surrounded by her family.
Gail was born and raised in Preston, Ontario. After high school, Gail, started her work career at K-Mart on Highway 8, where she met her lifetime friend, Julie Sebben (nee Featherson). She then did the bookkeeping for her brother's law firm, Goad & Goad. While on vacation, in Barbados, with Julie, Gail met the love of her life, Doug, whom she later married. They have been married for 47 years and built a beautiful life together. Gail left her mark through her family, church and community. Gail was known as the unofficial greeter at daily mass. She would circle throughout the church dispensing hugs and kisses to everyone she knew. The absence of her greeting will leave a void in the church community. Gail was a Member of the St. Clement's Catholic Women's League for 62 years.
Gail is survived by her husband, Doug, and her three children, Scott, Chris (Lindsay) and Michelle (Aaron). Gail, is predeceased by her parents, Stephen (1956) and Ivadell (2013) Goad (nee Kimpel), as well as many aunts and uncles. Gail will be missed by all of her siblings, Gary (Liz), Terry (Jane), Jim (Pauline), Judy (Fran Isley) and Tim (Claudia), along with her sister-in-law, Marilyn McKay (Art) and brother-in-law, Larry.
The family would like to thank the amazing care provided by the PSW's at Gail’s home and the PSW's and nurses at Sunnyside.
