Gayle M Serino
January 1, 1945 — June 12, 2023
Gayle M. Serino passed away peacefully at home in Meredith, NH on Monday June 12, 2023, with her family by her side.
Gayle was born on January 1, 1945, in Boston, MA. Daughter of the late James H. and Mary M. (Gillis) Cranshaw. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sibling, aunt, and friend.
She is survived by her two daughters, Gayle Burns (Alan) and Lisa Cloutier (Kevin), her grandchildren Nicole Cloutier, Timothy, Christopher and Jonathan Burns, sisters Barbara Chionchio, Mary Bueler (Jack), Sandra Wiggin (Raymond) and brother James Cranshaw (Doris) as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Antonio J. Serino and first husband Frederick P. Krause.
Gayle had a long, successful career in country music performing as Gayle Wilson. She was inducted into the Massachusetts Country Music Hall of Fame as well as winning Single Artist of the Year in 2008. She also enjoyed being a real estate agent and an in-home caregiver for Alzheimer's patients.
She loved horses as her father owned and trained racehorses throughout their childhood. In 2016 she checked off a bucket list item and attended the Kentucky Derby with her daughters. She had fond memories of camping in the mountains and lakes of NH, PA and NY with her family. She attended many bluegrass and country music jamborees throughout the New England area where she often performed alongside her beloved bandmates and friends. She was an avid birdwatcher and marveled in getting hummingbirds to land on her hand. She also enjoyed gardening, painting landscapes and driving anywhere she could!
Graveside service will be held July 8, 2023 at 11 am at Village Cemetery, followed by a celebration of life at Grille 151, both in Weymouth, MA.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to nhaudubon.org or LRVNA.org.
