Obituary: Van Snick (O'Neill), Gail E.
Age 75, of Halifax, passed away October 8, 2015, in the VG Site, QEII. Born
in Amherst, she was the daughter of the late J. Warren O'Neill and Mona
(Duguay) O'Neill. Gail grew up in Amherst until she left for nursing school
in Moncton in 1958. Following graduation, she married Gary Van Snick. She
nursed in the Moncton Hospital, and raised her family in Riverview. In 1987,
she moved to Halifax to work as an administrative assistant/team leader in
the Dermatology Department at the VG Hospital, where she finished her
career. She was a very active woman her entire life and touched many people
through her involvement in the Kinsmen and Kinettes Clubs, Toastmasters, and
the Bedford Lawn Bowls Club as well as through her many activities and
hobbies over the years that included ceramics, photography, needlepoint,
quilting, sailing, traveling, darts, and bowling. Gail is survived by her
sons, Darren (Cathie) and their children, Dayna and Ian, Riverview, N.B.;
Blaine (Michelle), Bedford. She was predeceased by her brothers, John "Jack"
O'Neill and Rod O'Neill, and the woman she considered to be her mother,
Marie Boomer. Gail was happiest enjoying time with her friends and family,
including her pets. She loved her dog, Cookie, who passed away a few years
ago and since that time has been showering her affection on her cats, Max
and Molly. There will be a private Celebration of Gail's Life held for
friends and family. Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Pick of
