For her many years of charitable work, Archbishop Phillip Hannan awarded Gabie the Saint Louise de Marillac Medal in 1984. She received her Paralegal degree from Tulane University (Newcomb) in 1990 and was a Notary Public for the State of Louisiana. Gabie had a passion for life and for serving others. From an early age, Gabie volunteered hundreds of hours at East Jefferson General Hospital (EJGH), raised funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), was an active member of different chapters of the Junior League, and was active at her childrens' school.

Huber. A Funeral Mass celebrating her life was held on January 3, 2011 at the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla, NM with the Most Reverend Bishop Ricardo Ramierz, C.S.B. and Father Richard Catanach, officiating.

I worked with Gabie at a New Orleans Law Office when she was a very young girl. I give credit to Gabie for informing me about the insulin pump. I'm sure without it my husband would not be here today to enjoy our two beautiful grandsons. I think about Gabie often and will always be eternally grateful to her. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Gabie and I attended summer camp at Whispering Pines. Over the years, I have thought of her often. Most recently, my son began school at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau. I remembered Gabie went to Sacred Heart in NO.
I will keep you in my prayers. Ella Crochet(Lafayette,LA)

I am so sad to hear about Gabby's death. My son Kevin Braud was friends with Gabby. She was at our home quite often during their High School days. I will always remember her constant smile, positive attitude towards life and her loving personality. She will be missed by many friends.
