Gabriella passed away peacefully on April 20th after a courageous battle with Cancer. She had her family and friends by her side during her last days at Ponderosa Lodge.
Gabriella will be forever missed by her devoted and supporting spouse Jan Ross and son David Cole and her stepsons Brock and Dakota (Jessica) Ross. Her many blessings include her Granddaughter Brooklyn, Courtney, and daughter in law Cherie Bitz.
She also leaves to cherish her many memories her father Pasquale Tulliani (Mila), her brothers and sisters Claudio (Lynn) Tulliani, Emilio(Colleen)Tulliani, Anna Cechinni, Franco Tulliani, Maria (Robin) McKay, Pamela Tulliani(Nick) along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews from Kamloops, Vancouver and Italy.
She is predeceased by her brother Enzo Tulliani and her mother Raffaella Tulliani.
Gabriella was born in Sicily, Italy moving with her family at five years old to Louis Creek, then to Barriere and finally Kamloops where she spent many of her years working and raising her son David.
Her life’s work has been as a care aide in Kamloops for 20+ years working at various locations including Pinegrove, Ponderosa and Royal Inland. She loved her clients and coworkers, and it was returned 10-fold. The family’s appreciation of the loving care Gabriella received during her last months can never be repaid. Sending a very special thank you to all the nurses and care aids.
In her spare time, she loved staying active, boating, and relaxing in the Shuswap, spending time with loved ones, laughing and dancing whenever she could. She was truly a special spiritual beautiful lady and although she is gone, she will not be forgotten.
A service will be held for family and friends at Summit Drive Church at 1975 Summit Drive in Kamloops on May 14th at 11am.
In lieu of flowers a donation box will be available for her favorite charity, The Mustard Seed Foundation.
