Gail Ann (Welby) Condon of Hanover, and formerly of Peabody, passed away peacefully at her home, with family by her side, on Saturday, November 10, 2018.  Gail fought a courageous battle with COPD and Kidney failure. She was 75.

Gail was born on March 26, 1943, in Boston at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. She was raised in South Boston and was the daughter of the late John F. and Eileen C. (Fitzgerald) Welby. Gail graduated from high school in 1961, then went right to work and enjoyed serving in her community. Gail enjoyed her time spent working at Fidelity Investments.

Gail enjoyed lunches and movies with her friends, reading and traveling. She especially loved her trips to Las Vegas with family and friends playing video poker and appreciated all the support she received from Cardinal Cushing residents.

Gail was a loving, kind, strong willed, proud Irish Catholic woman who lived her life in accordance with the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love.  Her family and friends were important to her and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for the people in her life.  She will be greatly missed by all the lives she touched.
