Gail Evelyn  Degaust

With broken hearts we announce that Gail Evelyn (Dillon) Degaust was called home to be with her Lord and Saviour in her 67th year surrounded by her loving family. In those years she made the world a more beautiful place for all who knew and loved her.
Born in Glace Bay, she was the youngest daughter, of the late John and Evelyn (Peach) Dillon. Gail was employed by the Nova Scotia assessors and appraisers for 37 years until retirement.
A dedicated member of the Glace Bay Baptist Church, where she held several offices. She was a beautiful and talented rug hooker. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family.
Left to grieve are her loving husband of 45 years, Gary, with whom she had an extraordinary relationship built on mutual respect and deep unending love. Her two adoring children, Andre (Brittany) and Stefanie (Stephen) White, and her three wonderful grandsons, whom she loved deeply Matthew, Reece and Jesse.
Also left to remember her much love are her four brothers, Gary (Elsie) Dillon, Daryl Degaust, Brian (Dyan) Degaust, Andre (Brenda) Degaust; three sisters, Ruth (Garry) Smith, Ronda Degaust (Bob Clarke) and Denise (Derek) Walker, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins all of whom she loved.
Besides her parents, Gail was predeceased by her mother and father-in-law, Marie and Ronald Degaust who thought of her as one of their own.
