In her younger days Mrs. Gavel was an ardent worker for her church and in lodge matters and when they lived in the Leeton district their home was a congregating point for those interested in those organisations.

Eight children also survive: Irene (Mrs. De Mamie of Narrandera), Dorrie (Mrs. Fisher, of Sydney), Sidney (lllabo), Peggy (Mrs. O'Sullivan, of Wagga), Florrie (Mrs. Heritage, of Illabo), Daphne (Mrs. Shoemark, of Wagga), Robert (Narrandera), and Jean (Mrs. Corbon, of Illabo). Mrs. Gavel had been ill for a considerable time.

      Her remains were taken to Illabo on Wednesday afternoon last for a church service and interment took place in the Junee cemetery.
