Gail J. Jackson, 73, of Hudson passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at UMass Medical Center in Worcester, MA surrounded by her loving family.

Born on August 21, 1951 in Lawrence, MA, Gail was the daughter of the late Herve R. and Evelyn B. (Russell) Beauregard. She graduated from Marlborough High School, Class of 1969, and earned her undergraduate degree from Northeastern University.

Gail spent most of her career at Data General working as a marketing specialist and project manager. She retired in 2013 from Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA.

Gail is survived by her daughter Melissa M. McLaughlin and her husband Sean of Lowell; her son, Daniel R. Jackson and his wife Kimberly of Hudson, MA; and her sister, Karen Searles and her husband Duane of Hudson, MA. She is also survived by her two granddaughters, Dylan and Ashlee; her niece and nephew Karley and Eric; and extended family and friends.

Gail found joy in tending to her garden, placing her toes in the sand at her favorite beaches, and setting off on trips to Cape Cod, Florida, and California, where the ocean breeze always seemed to follow her. But most of all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends, whose laughter and love were the true tides that carried her through life.

Following cremation, a private service will be held at a later date.
