Hancock -- Beloved family members and cherished friends mourn the sudden passing of Gail Peterson on April 5, 2017. She died of natural causes at her home in Hancock, ME. She was born June 29, 1946 in Wakefield, MA to Stetson Turner of Hancock, ME and Margery Turner (Morgan) of Wakefield.

She was predeceased by her parents; her brother Thomas Turner; and loving husband, Robert “Bob” Peterson. Survived by her brother, Hugh Turner; and daughters, Lisa Puopolo, Pamela Peterson, and Monica Donovan.
