Gretchen passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at home in Mexico. She lived a full and joyful life traveling the world, laughing, helping people and animals in need, and loving this wonderful planet. Her greatest happiness was spending time with her grandchildren.

I had the privilege of working with Gretchen on the Board of the PV SPCA. I was inspired by her regal presence and her love of animals. I was so sad to hear of her passing. My sympathies go out to her family and her many many friends.

I lost a long time friend but Puerto Vallarta lost one of the most hard working advocates to make this a better place. Her commitment to helping animals in need was outstanding and truly made a difference.
I will always miss you my friend.

My amazing pal. Always positive, generous and gracious. I’ll miss June 2nds when I would remind her we were the same age again. I’m truly saddened.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Gretchen's passing. I worked with Gretchen for a brief time in the SPCAPV. She was truly one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. My sincere condolences to her family and many many close friends.
