LINCOLN

July 8, 1943 - December 5, 2025

Gail A. (Kukulka) Goff, 82, of Lincoln, passed away peacefully on Friday December 5, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.  She was the beloved wife of Edward M. Goff for 37 years.  She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Blanche (Tonelli) Kukulka, and sister of the late Muriel Golden.

Born in Pawtucket and raised in Lincoln, Gail's vibrant spirit shone through in her love for dancing, shopping, music, the beach, summers on West Island, living in Florida, her love for cats (especially Whiskers), and the color pink.  Everything she had was pink.

She lived several years on Boston's North Shore and later spent fifteen years on Florida's west coast before returning back to Lincoln in 2019 to be closer to her family.

Gail enjoyed a fulfilling career with WGBH-TV's sales department in Boston, Job Placement Manager at the Goodwill Boston Career Center and a recruiter for Olsten Job Services.

She was known for her infectious personality and quick wit.  She brought laughter wherever she went.  She will be truly missed by all.

In addition to her husband, she leaves her son, Louis Najjar Jr. of North Providence, her two daughters, Lisa Melkoun and her husband Joseph and Melanie Turcotte and her husband Patrick, both of Lincoln; her brother Joseph Kukulka II of Smithfield; her grandchildren; Alicia, Nathan, Nicholas, Rebecca and Shalyn, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to Gail's Life Celebration to be held with Visiting Hours on Thursday, December 11, 2025 from 5 to 8 PM and continue on Friday, December 12, 2025 at 9 AM in the J. J. Duffy Funeral Home, 757 Mendon Road, Rt. 122, Cumberland.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 AM in the St. Jude Church, Front Street, Lincoln.  Burial will follow at the St. Ambrose Cemetery, Albion.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Rhode Island Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
