Gail A. (Palazzo) Bochner

67, of Cranston, passed away on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at Kent County Hospital. Born in Cranston, she was the daughter of the late Evelyn (Lisi) and Cagney Palazzo, and the daughter-in-law of the late Ceila and Samuel Bochner.

Gail graduated from Cranston High School West, where she was a cheerleader for all four years and was voted "Best Personality" and "Most School Spirit."

She began her career at the former Old Stone Bank, where she rose to the position of Head Teller Trainer. Gail later married Morris Bochner, and together they became successful entrepreneurs, owning and operating Hydra Klean Carpet Care, Providence Window Cleaning, and New England Janitorial Supply.

Gail was known for her zest for life and the warm smile that never left her face. She loved family gatherings, entertaining, and making others feel welcome. If her life could be summed up in one sentence, it would be this: everyone loved Gail Bochner.

Her greatest pride and joy was her son, Marc, of whom she was endlessly proud. She cherished visiting his studio and watching him carry forward the values of compassion, kindness, and positivity that she instilled in him, sharing them with his students and the community.

Gail is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Morris, and her son, Marc; her brother, Steven Palazzo; her sister, Paula, and her husband, Anthony Manzi; her sister-in-law, Ida Bochner-Brown, and her husband, Thomas; and her nephews Anthony and Michael Manzi and Stephen Palazzo, and her niece, Stephanie Palazzo. She was the sister of the late Joyce Palazzo.
