O’Neill (Steve) from Glocester, RI, Sandra J. Davis (Steve) from Mansfield, MA and David R. Schlageter (Terri) from Atlanta, GA and the late Robert T. Schlageter.

Gail was a member of the Cranston Christadelphian Ecclesia in Cranston, RI, and was baptized into the saving name of our Lord Jesus Christ on August 26th, 1984. Gail had to deal with many health issues throughout her adult life but through all the doctor visits, hospital stays and surgeries, she never complained and spent most of her free time helping others. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:6.

Gail was an avid Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins fan and could be heard cheering from most any room in the house. She loved the Schlageter Thanksgiving where she would be able to see all the people she loved most in one place. Gail was always there to support her niece’s and nephew’s sports games, performances, and graduations; and went above and beyond to plan trips and outings with them, creating special memories they will hold on to for the rest of their lives. Gail was loved by all.

Her visitation will be held on Tuesday June 25th from 4-7 pm and her funeral will be held Wednesday, June 26th at 11 am in the Thomas & Walter Quinn Funeral Chapel, 2435 Warwick Ave, Warwick, RI.
