Dr. Gail H. Devoid
Boscawen, NH – Dr. Gail H. Devoid, 73, of New Hampshire, passed away
peacefully on September 15, 2025, after a long period of health
complications.
Born on October 24, 1951, in Bristol, Connecticut, Gail was the
daughter of Stinnard and Irene (Page) Harrigan. A proud graduate of
Bristol Central High School, she earned her master’s degree from
Phoenix University, and went on to earn her PhD from Capella
University, a reflection of her lifelong dedication to learning and
intellectual pursuit.
Gail had a successful and dynamic career in the technology sector,
serving as Chief Financial Officer for several innovative companies,
most recently serving as CFO with Labsphere.
In her spare time, Gail pursued her passion for jewelry design. She
served as past president of the Bead Society of New Hampshire, sharing
her creativity and inspiring others in the art of jewelry-making.
Her commitment to community service was equally notable. Gail was a
past president of the New London Rotary and a previous member of both
the Hanover and Concord Rotary Clubs. Her leadership and tireless
dedication were deeply valued by all who worked alongside her.
Highly intelligent, fiercely independent, and strong-willed, Gail had
a mind that set her apart. She famously scored off the charts on the
Mensa test, a clear testament to the brilliance and sharp wit that
those who knew her admired.
Gail is survived by her husband Ricky Devoid; her son Eric Castonguay
of Trumbull, CT; and her grandchildren Leo and Samantha Castonguay.
