She had an unmistakable spirit — resilient, compassionate, intelligent, and deeply alive — and she showed up for others with sincerity and heart, even if it sometimes took hours for her to get there. To know Gabi was to feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Gabi loved good food, travel, spending time with friends, and the finer things in life. She had a keen eye for clothes and jewelry, a deep appreciation for beauty, and a natural affinity for her home, her plants, and the spaces she nurtured.

She was a huge and vital part of her community and a friend to many. Gabi had a rare ability to connect people from all walks of life, bringing warmth and humanity wherever she went. She carried herself with courage and resilience through life’s challenges, maintaining a positive and hopeful spirit even in moments of uncertainty. Her laughter, sense of humor, presence, and loyalty will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to share life and space with her.

Gabi was a beloved daughter, friend, community member and radiant presence in the lives of so many.
