Gail L. Eaton, 79, of Rensselaer Falls and formerly of Ogdensburg, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 27, 2026, at Canton-Potsdam Hospital with her loving family by her side.
She is survived by her three children, Robert Eaton of Colton, Tanya Eaton of Rensselaer Falls, and Wade Eaton of Ogdensburg; her four beloved grandchildren, Bradley Eaton, Daymon Eaton, Zack Eaton and Collin Parmeter; her siblings, Francis Brabant of Ogdensburg, Gerald "Pete" Brabant of Lisbon, Vickie McGaw of Ogdensburg, Denise Brabant of Ogdensburg, and Lori Brabant of Ogdensburg; along with several nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
Gail was predeceased by her longtime companion, Harold Palmer; her brothers, Gary Brabant and Wayne "Joseph" Brabant; and her sister, Lea "Diane" Ritchie.
Born in Ogdensburg, Gail was the daughter of the late Amos and Leda (Maloney) Brabant. She attended Heuvelton Central School and was later married to Robert Eaton Sr. Their marriage later ended in divorce. Gail dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker, finding happiness in caring for her children, grandchildren, and the animals she loved so dearly.
Though she will be deeply missed, Gail's family will forever remember her warm heart, her quiet strength, her generous spirit, and the unconditional love she shared so freely. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished and the many lives she touched through her kindness.
A Celebration of Life honoring both Gail and Harold Palmer will be held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at 420 Old State Road, Rensselaer Falls, New York.
