Gail Montgomery, 76, of Greenwich Connecticut passed away on Thursday, April 13, 2017, at Yale New Haven Hospital. She was born in Saint Albans, Vermont on April 24, 1940 to the late Harold and Shirley (Chapin) Montgomery. Gail received both a Bachelor’s and a Masters degree from Middlebury College and went on to earn a sixth year certificate.
Gail taught in the Greenwich Public Schools for over 40 years and had the honor of being named a Distinguished Teacher. In addition to being an outstanding French teacher, Gail worked as Program Administrator for the Language Department and was responsible for the hiring and evaluation of new staff. She became active in the National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Language. Gail loved teaching and mentoring teachers.
After retiring in 2003, Gail continued to pursue her love of opera, music, cooking and traveling back to her beloved Paris. She also had great fun testing recipes and editing a cookbook by a good friend entitled “Collection of Recipes from Scrumptious.”
She will be remembered by both students and colleagues as the crème de la crème of the teaching profession she loved so much.
