She is survived by her daughters Kim Greco and Pamela Briand and her granddaughter Shannon Greco. Lovingly remembered by her sisters Cheryl Lines and Jackie Fossler. She is predeceased by her son Micheal Briand, and sisters Patricia Duguay and Eileen Chamberlain.Most of her working life she was a cake decorator, baker and chocolate maker. Gay was renowned for her cake decorating skills and helped many families celebrate special moments and events for generations with her beautiful works. Many times we heard the words “this cake is too beautiful to cut”.
