Gail Maclary Chickersky, age 70 of Newark, DE died on May 1, 2019. She was born on March 8, 1949 in Wilmington, DE to the late Harry Maclary and Anne (Richards) Maclary Munyan.
A lifetime resident of Newark. she graduated in 1967 from Newark High. She received her Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Virginia Tech in 1971 and later earned her MBA from the University of Delaware. After more than 30 years in automotive retail as a controller and general manager at several Delaware dealers, Gail became a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, retiring in 2016.
Gail never really retired in the traditional sense. She was always active in the community, serving on the boards of the Newark Senior Center, the Newark High Alumni Association, the Newark Historical Society, the Pencader Heritage Museum and many other worthy causes.
Along the way, Gail developed many deep friendships with people from all walks of life. She always had time to lend a hand, listen to a story, help mentor someone who needed guidance or bring a group together to better serve a common cause. Gail was a master at organizing and delegating responsibility. Her departure has left a void that we hope will be temporary. Her life is an example of how to pay it forward and make the world a better place.
Gail is survived by her brothers Harvey Maclary and his wife Tina; Ed Maclary and his wife, Rita Shapiro; nieces Rachel Maclary, Emily Maclary, and Una Kim; nephews Andrew Maclary and Kevin Maclary. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Charles Chickersky.
Gail preferred celebration over mourning. A gathering of friends celebrating her life will be held Saturday, May 25, 2019 from 2pm to 5pm at the Newark Country Club, 300 W. Main Street, Newark, DE 19711. If you wish to honor Gail’s legacy the family suggests contributions to The Newark Senior Center or the Newark Historical Society be sent in care of R.T. Foard & Jones, Inc., 122 West Main Street, Newark, DE 19711. As an alternative, consider honoring her by volunteering for a cause that is important to you and remember her as you serve.

When I did not receive a Christmas card this year, I searched on Gail's name, hoping not to find an obituary, hoping she was traveling somewhere over the holidays. So sad to hear of her passing. We were at Virginia Tech together. She was real homesick and thinking about leaving when I suggested she come work in the Cafeteria. There were 18 guys and 2 girls. She joined the team and as others have said, made friends easily, worked hard, made us all laugh and stayed and graduated. She wrote me a thank you card when she graduated. Pat Jolicoeur Stanley.

Gail was the daughter of one of my mother's closest friends and one of my favorite teachers who sat with my father on the night that he passed away. Whenever I came to Newark for whatever reason Gail would find a way for us to get together and visit. When I bought a house in Fairfield for my daughter to attend the UD she acted as a surrogate mother for my daughter and even donated her grandmother's dining room table for my daughter to use. I joined the Newark Historical Society as a Life Member due to Gail's enthusiasm and attended several Newark Senior Center events at her invitation. Always a delight and a force in everything that mattered in Newark, Gail will be seriously missed by all. I will save my best wishes for her family until my coming trip to Newark in her honor. Rest in Peace my friend.

As the senior member of the Dutton family I want to extend our condolences to Ed and Harvey Maclary and to all of her cousins, nieces, nephews and other members of her extended family including the Chickerskys and Munyons. The Maclary and Dutton/Rittenhouse families go back a long ways in Newark. So much so that one could think of Gail and I as brother and sister........ (She was always relieved that my extensive research into family history was never able to show that we were actually related.) Gail was born March 08 1949. I was born February 20 1949. Our mothers were life long best friends. We were, always have been, and always will be virtual sister and brother. We always greeted and departed with a heart-felt hug and a kiss. Grief still has a firm grip on my heart even as I hear Gail's laughter and see her smile; I know full well that she wants that grief to let go of me and allow me to smile and laugh along with her. That's the best solution for getting through all of this. I am blessed to have known Gail; her spirit will live with me forever.

I've been fortunate to have been a friend of Gail's since 7th grade. She was funny, smart, loyal, industrious and had a mind as sharp as they come for remembering people, events and all things Newark. One early memory I have of us is lying on her bed in her home on Kirkland highway as she identified all the cars passing by by the sound of the motors! I'd pop up to confirm but since I didn't know cars, even by sight, I'm not sure how accurate she was! Not a surprise that she spent so many years in the auto business.

But her great gift to us is that she left us in much better condition than if she had not shared her time and talents with us. Gail was impressive and inspirational in so many ways and on so many levels

Gail seemed to be involved in everything; no matter where we went, we ran into Gail. I don't think she ever missed a Class Reunion at the Deer Park or Newark Country Club and loved seeing her at the Senior Center. Thank you for all your kindness, enthusiasm, leadership. RIP, Gail. Peace to her family.

Gail was one of The Money School's most dedicated advocates and volunteers. She gave so generously of her time working to help our students become more financially capable.

The City of Newark and all of it's residents lost their biggest cheerleader and I lost a stalwart friend on May 1st. The world is a better place for the work Gail did and the memories she left with behind.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so sad as I will miss this lovely lady. My husband Jim and I had the pleasure of knowing Gail and taking wonderful vacations with her. He was so kind and sweet and such a caring person. I thank God that I had the privilege of knowing and loving this wonderful person. I will miss you so much. Love you forever

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I think of Gail very often even though I have not seen her in a long time. She had a profound influence on my life and I will remember her always.

Gail was one in a million! I will miss her so much. She was such a caring and generous person. I won't ever forget her. Hope she is having her Appletini in heaven with her husband right now and looking down on us and wondering why we are all so sad. She would never want anyone to mourn her I'm sure.

Gail was a fellow NHS 67 alumnus and Hokie and we shared many trips between Blacksburg and Newark. Those trips were full of great conversation and laughs and are the source of many great memories... especially when we were married during a breakdown at the Park Motel in rural Virginia. Gail always had nice things to say about everyone and she will be very much missed by Yellowjackets, Hokies, Newarkians and most of all by her family and friends.

Gail was a force,I leaned on her many times for guidance,advice and friendship. To say I will miss her would be a huge understatement. Wow just wow, way too early.

Gail will surely be missed by all that knew her. I worked with Gail at Nucar for a number of years. She was kind, caring, funny and always had great advise. She was helpful to me many times as I used her as a sounding board for something going on in my life. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Gail was an original and larger than life. I was privileged to have know her and will miss her.

Gail's absence is a tremendous loss to many individuals and organizations. Ours is no exception. We will truly miss her sage advice, experience, resources, stories and humor for some time. But her great gift to us is that she left us in much better condition than if she had not shared her time and talents with us. Gail was impressive and inspirational in so many ways and on so many levels
I have a deep respect and appreciation for her diligent, selfless and amazingly wonderful volunteer service. It was not only that she performed this service with thorough expertise but that she did it with such dedication and loving kindness. We were all so fortunate to have known her.
