Gabriele Ullian, born on February 26, 1947, in Kandel, Germany, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2024. Gabriele was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, known for her vibrant spirit, honesty, and dedication to helping others.

Throughout her diverse working life, she was a property leasing agent, youth activities director, defensive driving instructor, driver’s licensing examiner, and small business owner, running an online business with great enthusiasm and commitment. Her professional journey was marked by her exceptional ability to connect with people and her unwavering work ethic.

Gabriele’s life was a testament to love and family. She was married to her devoted husband, John, for 54 wonderful years. Together, they raised their son Richard and welcomed Diana and Audrey into their family. Gabriele was a proud grandmother to grandsons Channon (married to Erin) and Conner (married to Justine). She is also survived by her brother Peter and sister Karina. Her very special friend, Marianna Buerger, held a cherished place in her heart, a testament to the deep bonds she formed in her lifetime.

Gabriele’s warmth, kindness, and vibrant personality will be deeply missed by all who know her. Her legacy of love and service will continue to inspire and guide her family and friends.

A memorial service to celebrate Gabriele’s life will be held at Tahoma National Cemetery on June 11 at 1:30 PM. Family and friends are invited to join in remembering and honoring a life well-lived.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to individuals’ favorite charities, honoring Gabriele’s spirit of generosity and care.
