LeDREW, Gaille
Born Louisburg, Cape Breton Island, January 17, 1945. Died Uxbridge, Ontario, January 7, 2003. Gaille had an indomitable spirit. She took on every project in her life with verve and enthusiasm. She had a quick wry wit and made many friends. Probably more close friends than most. She seemed to win a year-long battle with breast cancer, only to succumb very suddenly to lung cancer. Even in the worst moments of her crisis, she was still able to crack a joke to calm us all. A Wake will be held at the Uxbridge Legion, 109 Franklin St., on January 17th, 2003 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Enquiries 905-852-3625. Gaille is survived by her brothers, Gary LeDrew and Jack Boone.
