Worcester: Gayle M. Arduini, 69, passed away on February 18, 2026 at St. Mary Health CareCenter. She leaves her sisters Karen F. (Arduini) Lavallee, Andrea Arduini, and Robin L.(Curtis) Sandman; a brother Gary Curtis; several nieces and nephews; her beloved aunts AnneMarie Tremblay (Lafountain) and her husband John Tremblay of Vermont, and Sylvia Warner(Arduini) of Shrewsbury; many cousins; and her beloved companion, Fluffy the cat. 

Gayle was born in Worcester in 1956, the daughter of the late Joseph Arduini and Patricia(Broadbent) Gosselin. After growing up with her siblings in Charlton, she made Worcester her home for over 50 years. She enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought her the most joy — a good game of solitaire, the company of her cherished cats, and the sounds of rock ’n’ roll drifting from her radio. Gayle had a passion for Hollywood films and built an impressive library of movies and DVDs over the years, delighting in her encyclopedic knowledge of actors and actresses. But perhaps what she treasured most was the time spent with the people around her. Her warm and genuine personality won the hearts of family and neighboring friends alike, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff and friends at St. Mary’s Health Care Center for the compassionate care they provided. 

A memorial service and burial will take place in the spring at Mountain View Cemetery, Shrewsbury. Nordgren Memorial Chapel, 300 Lincoln St., Worcester, is assisting the family with arrangements. To leave an online condolence message, please click guestbook link.
