Gail A. Long, 78, died peacefully at home in Pennsylvania under Hospice care on April 28, after a long and brave battle with breast cancer. Gail grew up in Los Angeles but spent most of her life in Sandy Hook, Conn. where she raised two children; Madison and Jennifer. She was a psychiatric nurse for many years at Danbury Hospital, Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital, and Shands Hospital in Florida. Gail had a passion for caring for others and adopted into her heart numerous neighbors, children, and patients over the years. Her greatest joy was being a grandmother, “Emma,” to seven beautiful children; Christopher, Nicholas, Olivia, Zachary, Connor, Caitlin and Emily. In addition to her grandkids, Gail is survived by Daniel Long, Madison Long, Elizabeth Long, Jennifer Hughes, David Hughes, and her brother Bruce Ackley.
