Gabriele "Gaby" Gudde, age 64, passed away Saturday, April 13, 2024 at Lee's Summit Medical Center.

She was born March 21, 1960, the daughter of Alfred Biewer and Gertrude (Rau) Hays, in Speicher, Germany.

She loved animals and all things nature. Spending time with her family and friends brought her joy. She worked as a med tech for many years and cared so much for all her residents and coworkers. She traveled to many places and took plenty of pictures to show for it. In her memory, she would have loved it if anyone would buy or plant a tree or any kind of plant.

Gaby is survived by her children, Jessica (Justin) Hammerli, Steven Gudde, and Jamie (Tim) Brown; her sisters, Monika (George) Pfannschmidt and Heidi (Dave) Tors; her partner, David Benwell; her mother, Gertrud Hays; and five grandchildren, Adeline, Morgan, Natalie, Kirsten, and Jon.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Garry Gudde; her father, Alfred, Biewer; and a granddaughter, Sophie Tucker.
