Gail Marie Matthews, age 55, resident of Albuquerque, passed away on Friday, October 29, 2010 of natural causes. Gail is survived by brothers, Wayne and his wife, Lien and Gary, sister, Debra Prendergast and her husband, Kevin and nephews, Peter Pavenski, Michael, Matthew, and David. Gail was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Millie Matthews. Gail was born in Lynn, MA and moved to NM when she was 22 years old and fell in love with the sky. That is the start and the finish, but how to describe such a passionate life? Gail inspired, frustrated, loved, irritated, pushed, mentored, and deepened the lives of everyone in her orbit. Gail could make you laugh until it hurt, make you believe you were capable of scaling mountains. Gail was completely and unapologetically unique. Gail was beautifully human with all of the flaws and magnificent glory that entails. We who are left behind found that our first day without her was less bright. Our evening lacked music, and yet, we know she is dancing, she is full on no holds barred, dancing among the stars that so often tickled her soul. Gail will ride the first comet she can catch, and she will howl at the moon. We are her family, and we love her. Memorial services will be held on Friday, November 5, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. at French - Westside Chapel. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to team Hayley Estrada at www.jdrf.com, or the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, www.aafa.org.
