Gabrielle Alexandria Lopez was born on July 28, 1994, two days late and asleep to Simon Lopez and Teresa Wass. Gabby, or Gabba as she was lovingly called, graduated Louisa-Muscatine High School in 2012. After graduating, she obtained her certified nurse assistant certification and went on to complete her certified medication aide certification. Gabby loved caring for her residents. On October 14, 2023, she married the love of her life, Kyle Pritchard. They were each other’s peace and, at times, annoyance. No matter what, Gabby was the boss! She loved to roll her eye at “KYLE LINN!” Gabby was an avid concert goer, loved going to JBL for her mani pedis, hitting the casino with Kyle and Becky, singing karaoke and, occasionally, on stage with the band, spending time with her many friends and family, and as Kyle would tell you, she was an amazing baker! She loved spending time with her bonus niece, Lucia Gradert. She had a sense of humor that was unmatched. Her amazing personality was contagious to everyone she met and if they didn’t like her they could, well, you know…
