Abigail Grace Applegate

Abigail Grace Applegate was born April 11, 2017, in Galveston, Texas to parents Jacob and Kresha Applegate of Hitchcock, Texas. Abigail gained her angel wings on July 12, 2022.
Abigail will forever be remembered and loved by her parents, Jacob and Kresha; sister, Emily Finney (Troy Finney); grandparents, Adam and Jenny Applegate, Everett and Linda Viar, and Rebecca Mancuso; aunts, Addison Applegate and Chloe Mancuso; uncles, David Strength (Allie Knight) and Kaleb Mines (Lexi Miller).
Abigail was a beautiful little soul that brought smiles and laughter to all that were blessed to cross paths with her. Her beautiful soul will continue to live on as a beacon of hope that no matter the obstacle, happiness can still be achieved. Her wild and joyous spirit was as radiant as her grace and her personality was full of love and laughter. Her presence was a gift that will not be forgotten. She was unspoken but mighty, determined to always get her way, and would never turn down a late-night car ride with mom and dad. Anyone that was blessed to know "AbbyDabby" knew this was Abigail's world and we were all just living in it; Lotion in one hand, water bottle in the other, and tablet on the toes!
Abigail will always and forever bring a smile to our faces.
We find comfort in knowing that she was met in heaven by family members, Richard Applegate, Michael Applegate, Briar Cassada, and Alberta Waggoner. We hope they will take her under their wings and show her how to turn wrenches and ride the trails as she watches over her loved ones here on Earth.
We ask that everyone wear bright colors ????...We want to celebrate this in Abby's way so in lieu of flowers bring items that remind you of Abigail ????
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those that have been supportive during this most difficult time. We send enormous thanks to the Hitchcock Police Department, Hitchcock Education Foundation, the Team at Behavioral Innovations, Galveston County Fire Department, Local ILA 20, Family Practice in La Marque and all the supportive GISD co-workers.
Please remember to "Embrace the Spectrum" and "Define Normal"!
