Gail Francis Gallup Reed

March 12, 1940 - April 9, 2022

Gail Francis Gallup Reed, 82, of North Troy, Vermont passed away quietly April 9 ^th , 2022.  Gail was born March 12, 1940 in Newport, Vermont to the late Walter Gallup and Ethel (Sargent) Gallup.  Her childhood was spent in North Troy where she was heavily involved in her studies, school activities, and her church community. She went to Newton Jr College, in Newtonville, Massachusetts on a scholarship and attended Otterbein College in Columbus, Ohio.

Gail adored a great tube of lipstick and a fantastic hairdo.  She loved watching Jeopardy (often knowing every answer) and drinking a coke.  She loved her cats and always found solace in a church service.  Gail was the oldest of three children, a loving and protective older sister who always knew how to keep her younger brothers out of trouble. To her nieces and nephew, she was an adoring Aunt, who always knew the perfect gift to give and that a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich and Necco Wafers were healthy foods.

She is survived by her brother Gary Gallup, her sister-in-law Carole (Douglas) Gallup of Clayton, Ohio, nieces and a nephew, and several great nieces and nephews.

Gail was predeceased by her brother, Gaylord Gallup, her father Walter Gallup, and her mother Ethel (Sargent) Gallup.

The family would like to thank the staff and caregivers of the Bel-Aire Center of Newport, Vermont for all the loving attention and care that was given to Gail. Gail was so fortunate to be a part of a very caring community that added value to her remaining years of her life.

Graveside services will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dementia Society of America, https://www.dementiasociety.org/donate .
