Text: Gail Romanow of Palm Beach, FL, and formerly of Newton, New Seabury,
Brockton, and Longmeadow, MA, passed away Thursday May 8th. She is
survived by her son Eric Romanow and her daughter Heidi Romanow, of
Boston, MA, by her nephew Jason Gipstein, as well as by her
granddaughter Sophia Romanow, whom she adored. She was preceded by her
father, Dr. Benjamin Gipstein and her mother Dorothy Gipstein, her
Uncle Charlie Weitzman, and her brother Dr. Robert Gipstein.

Gail was a proud graduate of McDuffee High School and Mt. Holyoke
College where she majored in English. She was an avid reader and
became a social worker in her early years before retiring as a real
estate broker in later life. Gail was also an extremely devoted
daughter to her own mother, who after becoming a widow in 1993 moved
to West Palm Beach, where she lived until her death at the age of
nearly 101.

Gail was a fighter who overcame many health setbacks yet never lost
her will to live or love her family. She was blessed to be supported
by the kindness and selfless care of Solaine Moise and Hilda Guzman.

In her later years, Gail maintained her sharp mind, reading books,
doing crossword puzzles, and playing bridge, canasta, and Scrabble
with her dear friends. She played Rummikub and gin rummy with her
family and recently had learned a new card game she thoroughly enjoyed
playing with her granddaughter. She regularly attended lectures,
theatre productions, ballet performances, and Johnny Mathis concerts.

Gail lost touch with many friends she loved but always rooted for them
and their families from afar. Some of the people she loved and was
able to keep in touch with in more recent years include:
Cousin Michael Miller and his wife Genevieve, Ruth Roberts, Arlene
Kurtis, Silvia Spier, Myrna Friedman, Roberta Nair, Sharon Cooper,
Robert Romanow, Ann Ruth Lipman, Larry Siskind, and Linda Radding.

Also, those she cared for greatly but are no longer with us include:
Judy Siskind, Alan Zaff, Ira Lipman, Edward Radding, and Carmela
