Gail was the beloved daughter of the late Joseph and Betty Zacharewicz. Gail was predeceased by her sister Josephine Zacharewicz. Gail's one-of-a-kind heart lives on through her family, she was a devoted wife to her loving husband of 55 years, Albert Frey, and a proud and caring mother to Kevin Frey and his wife Sharon of Goshen, NY; Allison Davidson and her husband Jay of New Hampshire; and Jennifer Frey and her husband Michael Gadwah of Campbell Hall, NY.

Gail is also survived by her dear sister Debra Jankowiak and her husband James.

For over 20 years, Gail dedicated her time and talents to the Goshen School District and was a passionate volunteer at the Goshen Library. She had a vibrant personality and a zest for life, enjoying simple pleasures like reading, having lunch with friends, and most of all, spending time with her family. Gail's heart was as big as her spirit, and anyone who knew her was touched by her generosity and kindness.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Gail's honor to causes close to her heart: The Goshen Library, The Humane Society, and The Goshen Generosity Challenge.
