Gabrielle D. NEVISON
(nee SKENE)
Gabrielle D. Nevison (nee Skene) passed away peacefully at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air, MD, where she resided with her husband, Gordon, after a long, hard battle with ovarian cancer.
Gabi, or Gay as she was known by her many friends and family, was born on May 5, 1947, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto to Douglas and Nelly Skene, who predeceased her. A longtime resident of Toronto and Tottenham, Ontario, Gabi and her husband immigrated to the United States in the late 1980s living in Boston, Buffalo and most recently Bel Air, MD. Gabi's professional career included a long tenure in travel with Calladine and Baldry Travel, as well as real estate with Royal Lepage and Remax. In addition, she was a restaurateur owning a small seafood restaurant in Tottenham. Most recently she worked with her husband in their own business and together they travelled the world. Gabi was also very active her community Home Owners Association in Bel Air and was active as a watercolor artist for many years.
Intimately involved in her cancer treatment choices, Gabi became a fierce advocate for herself and others facing this terrible disease. Given but two years to live in 2012, Gabi soldiered on with treatment at Mercy Hospital, Johns Hopkins Sidney Cancer Institute and recently Roswell Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY. She turned every stone on every path in this journey.
Gabi is survived by her husband Gordon of 40 years and her children James Massey of Brampton and Paula Goulding of Kitchener; and her beloved grandchildren, Hunter Massey, Jessica Massey and Sarah Goulding. She is also survived by her sister Jackie Bowles (Doug McKay), niece, Andrea Robarts (Simon), nephew, Jeffery Bowles (Nancy) and their children. Gabi will also be missed by her extended family in Winnipeg, Manitoba including her many cousins.
A celebration of life for Gabi will be held on November 5th at the Waterside Inn, 15 Stavebank Road, South Mississauga, Ontario, from 2:00 until 5:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to your local cancer institute to further cancer research.
