She is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Nicholas Spillane, and by her 3 children of whom she was so proud: Alex, David (Sonya) and Lisa. Gail was the beloved daughter of Elizabeth and the late Arthur Latter, much adored sister of Jane, her twin brother David (Sharon), Robert (Ann), and the late John Latter and very loved aunt of Marc (Nikki), Michael, Scott, Sarah, Robert, Thomas, and Jake.
Gail attended McGill University and was a graduate of the Faculty of Education. She was also a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
Gail will be sadly missed by her many friends and colleagues. She spent most of her adult life in the field of education both as a teacher and then later as a Vice-Principal. She touched the hearts and minds of her students, from whom she received, over the years, many heartwarming letters thanking her and explaining just how she gave them the self-confidence and strength to succeed.
The family is very grateful for the extremely kind and compassionate care that Gail received from Dr J. Wong and nurse Mandeep, both from the Lac Saint Louis CLSC; they were enormously sensitive to Gail and to the entire family.
Friends may attend a visitation with the family from 1pm to 3 pm on August 11 at Collins Clarke Funeral Parlor, 222 Autoroute 20 (corner Cartier Ave.).
Due to Covid 19 restrictions, a private family funeral will be held immediately following the visitation.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the West Island Cancer Wellness Centre, 115 Rue du Barry, Kirkland, QC H9H 0C4, or to the charity of your choice.
