    Gabby was a kind and thoughtful person who dedicated herself to everything she did. She loved her family—especially her mom, dad, and little sister, Lauren—and loved to visit her extended family in Beardstown. Gabby loved her boyfriend Connor, and they were planning to get married and build a life together. Gabby was a wonderful “dog mom” and took excellent care of her beloved rescue dog, Nala. Gabby graduated 7th in the Jennings County High School class of 2016. She then went on to earn a degree in nursing from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) in 2020, realizing her dream of becoming a NICU nurse. She also traveled to Nicaragua with the Medical Brigade, caring for the less fortunate in the communities she visited there. Gabby was a devout Christian. She was active in her church youth program for many years, often sang on the worship team, and served on several mission trips. Gabby was a light to those around her, and the legacy she leaves behind is impossible to put into words. She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
