Gail Lynn (Bradow) Gores, 71, of Kingwood, WV, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, July 18, 2025. She was born on September 3, 1953, in Flint, Michigan, a daughter of the late John Ellery Bradow and Dilila June (Burge) Bradow.
Gail was a devoted mother and homemaker who poured her love into caring for her son, Robert—whom she affectionately called "RL." She found joy in the simple things: baking homemade treats, canning, and working through word search puzzles. Summers often found her doting on her nieces, but above all, her greatest joy was spending time with her son.
She is survived by her beloved son, Robert Laughlin II; her siblings, Liz, Hazel, Adam, and Heather; her companion, Danny Delling; her cherished extended family, including Aunt Tony, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Barb, and Aunt Regina; and many treasured nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Gail was preceded in death by her brother, Johnny Bradow, and her sister, Jodi Bradow.
Honoring her wishes, arrangements will be conducted privately. Terra Alta Funeral Home is honored to care for the Gores family during this time.
