Gail P Borton (Boerner) of Lansdale, PA passed away peacefully at home on Monday, September 23, 2019 after a long and courageous battle with FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia). Raised in North Jersey, she was the youngest daughter of Walter F and Ann M Boerner (Mulligan) who preceded her in death. Gail lived in Melbourne, Florida for twenty-eight years where she was a faithful parishioner of Ascension Catholic Church. Gail and her husband, Brian, moved to Lansdale, PA six years Ago.
Gail will be remembered for her deep love of family and friends. She had a joyful and generous heart, and she was always willing to lend a helping hand. She had a quick and unique sense of humor, and her smile would light up a room. Gail loved to read, and she also enjoyed attending her children’s softball and soccer games, family vacations, dining out; but most of all, spending time with Brian and her family.
Gail is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Brian Borton. She was the wonderful, loving, and supportive mother of Pamela Lamaina, and her husband Peter, Christopher Devine and his wife, Amanda; step-mother to Keliana and Marcus Borton; cherished grandmother of Ryan, Evan and Jackson Lamaina, Drake and Luca Devine, and beloved sister of Mary Ann Deus and Judy Bishop.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Gail’s Funeral Mass on Friday, September 27, 2019 at 11:00 AM at St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church, 752 Big Oak Rd, Morrisville, PA 19067, where the family will receive friends Friday morning from 10 to 11:00 AM in Church prior to Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or to the Caring Hospice Services, Fort Washington, PA. In Gail’s memory; please share your love with family, friends and someone in need.
Gail will always be my beloved sister-in-law. I will always remember her laughter, quick wit and loving heart. Tom and I extend our sympathy to her children-Pam and Chris, husband Brian, and all of her family. Rest In Peace my friend. Love, DAR
I was thinking about Gail last night, both crying and smiling at the same time. Everyone here knew and loved Gail. I knew her as one of my best friends. In fact, she was my “best” best friend. I still remember the day we met in 1985. She had moved across the street from us a few weeks earlier, and she was standing in her garage going through some boxes. I went over to introduce myself, and we clicked immediately, bonding over a box of books (Gail so loved to read). From that day on, we were the best of friends. We did so many things together. We walked, we rode bikes, we learned to roller blade, we laughed, we cried, we shopped, we ate, and we spent countless hours talking about everything and anything over a cup of tea. In the 25+ years that we lived in the same town, there was rarely a week (sometimes a day) that went by where we didn’t get together. I have so many wonderful memories of Gail that I will always treasure. She has always been and will continue to be in my heart. I love you Gail, and I will never forget you.
