Irene J. Gall's Obituary
Irene J. (Wells) Gall, 92, of Woodbridge, VA, formerly of Stafford Springs, CT, returned to her heavenly home on Sunday, May 3, 2020. She was born in West Brookfield, MA, on May 7, 1927, to the late Harrison and Ella (Perry) Wells. She was predeceased by her brother, Emory, and her sister, Ina. Irene retired from Johnson Memorial Hospital in 1987. She was known for her incredible kindness, generosity, and her love of people. She enjoyed playing bingo, word puzzles, card games, coffee, music, singing hymns, and shopping the day away with her friends. She was an avid “gallivanter” and road trips to visit friends and family were a passion. She made friends everywhere she went. Irene and her husband John moved to Virginia in 1998 to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. Irene is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, John Gall, Jr.; her four children, Georgianna Lee (Millard) of Harmony, NC, William Bryan (Marie) of Tolland, CT, Kathy Hodgson of Sarasota, FL and Jo-Ellen Benson (Granger) of Woodbridge, VA; ten grandchildren, Fawn, Chrystal, Robert, Sonya, Dawn, Stephanie, Susan, Joseph, Samantha, and Scott; 18 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. A graveside service will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 2 P.M. at Willington Hill Cemetery, Tolland Turnpike, Willington, CT. Introvigne Funeral Home, Inc., Stafford Springs, CT, has care of the arrangements. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff of the Birmingham Green nursing facility for all the wonderful care and support they gave Irene during her stay.
