Conchi Urriolabeitia Obituary
Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, to Eugenio Urriolabeitia and Ana Zatica. Conchi and her family emigrated from The Basque Country to Caldwell, Idaho, when she was 9 years old. Conchi went through the school system in Caldwell. From there, she obtained a Bachelors Degree in Bible and World Missions from Puget Sound Christian College in Seattle, Washington. After college graduation, Conchi worked with children in the public school systems in Seattle and Caldwell. Later, she worked at Micron Technology for several years where she met her husband, Christopher Gambee. Conchi and Chris were married in February of 1997. Their son, Josu, was born in February of 1999, and their daughter, Leoni, followed in September of 2004. Josu and Leoni were bright spots in Conchi's eyes. She was a very proud mother and loved staying with them, homeschooling them at times, and taking them on adventures. Chris and Conchi enjoyed many trips to Oregon with their family. She loved walking in the Boise Foothills and practicing martial arts at the Caldwell Shaolin Center, where she eventually achieved and received her black belt. Conchi enjoyed a number of artistic endeavors, especially pottery. She always acquired new friends wherever she went. While we will miss her but we rest assured that we will meet her again, as she claimed Christ as her personal Savior earlier in her life.
Conchi is survived by her husband, Christopher Gambee; Son, Josu Gambee; Daughter, Leoni Gambee; Mother, Ana Zatica Urriolabeitia; Brother, Aitor Urriolabeitia; Sister; Izaskun Urriolabeitia Valdez (Reynaldo), and nephew Reynaldo Valdez. (Nicole), and all of the members of the Gambee family.
She was preceded in death by her infant brother Javier Urriolabeitia and her father Eugenio Urriolabeitia.
A Memorial Service followed by a reception will be held at 3:30 PM on Friday, June 7, 2019, at Boise Funeral Home, Aclesa Chapel (8209 W. Fairview Ave., Boise, Idaho 83704 (208-322-3999).

Conchi was the most wonderful outgoing people I have ever met. She had contacted me to clean her home 4 years ago and i had been cleaning her home since we had just clicked very well. and she became my favorite person to be around i always sat with her and talked and exchanged our stories. She was always there to help me through my struggles as i was there for her she had even comforted me when my dad passed in August a year ago. I will miss her dearly she was so amazing kind hearted and loving.

Dear Chris and children and family members. I was very close to your Conchi during our PSCC days. She was a dear woman and friend in my life. I loved her sense of humor and her energy. She had the most beautiful smile to me and I was very close to her during our Bible College years. Her graduation into Heaven makes me sad for myself and all her loved ones, but so happy for her. You are all near my heart during this time of grief.

Dear Chris and family, I got to know Conchi when she came to Puget Sound Christian College. She was bright and funny and since I was also from Caldwell, we shared lots of memories from growing up there. Love and prayers as you walk through the grieving process, may your memories be filled with love and laughter and although tears will often come without warning, be assured that God holds all of you close together.

Dear Chris and family,
My sincere sympathy to you over the loss of dear Conchi.
So grateful to have spent time sharing with her and to have had her as a friend. I will miss her funny and kind spirit.
Sending prayers for comfort to all of you.
Lovingly,
Jayne Arbon
P.S. I was on my way to the memorial and got stuck in the awful traffic so ended up missing it. Please know that my heart was with you all.
