Belmont, NY – Gail Marie Molin (Bazinet) passed away
Wednesday, May 6, 2020 in the care of her family. Gail was born July 22, 1940,
in Clayton, NY, to Lawrence and Jane Bazinet. She spent a lot of her youth in
the Thousand Islands area of Clayton and would visit there often, even into her
later years in life. It was one of the places she loved most in all her travels
and travel she did! Most knew Gail for her wanderlust; moving from place to
place always searching for a place more beautiful and fulfilling than the last.
Some of the places that she called home were Niagara Falls, NY; Manchester, New
Hampshire; Snow Hills, Maryland, eventually settling in Belmont, NY. Gail also
loved literature, music, long haired men with beards (smelling of wood smoke),
Cowboys, and Native American art and culture. She had a great passion for
making jewelry, crafts of every kind, and reading books (several a week). She
was a drummer in a local band in the 60’s and 70’s; her first drum solo was “In
A Gadda Da Vida” by Iron Butterfly. In her later years she was referred to as
“Grammy Gail” because of her 16 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She
was recently predeceased by her oldest son, Richard Burke. Gail is survived by
her brother’s, Richard and Michael Bazinet; her sisters, Linda Bowker and
Michelle Bossert; her sons, Patrick, Thomas, Stephen, William, Michael, and
Christopher; her daughter, Erika. A Celebration of Life memorial will be held
with her family later this Summer. “Body of Ink, Heart of Gold”- Andrea Burke.
Arrangements were handled by Estey, Munroe & FaheyFuneral Home.
