In Loving Memory of Sandra Gabriel

Dear Family, Friends and Community

With heavy hearts, we mourn the untimely passing of our dear daughter, sister and friend Sandra Gabriel who passed on September 1, 2024 from a massive stroke. Sandra was 45 years young with an unmatched vibrant energy, enthusiasm, and praise for God. She embraced life with her infectious spirit and her passion to use her light to help others.

Sandra's passing leaves an immense void in the hearts of her family, Celia Baptiste-Gabriel (mother), Philip Gabriel (father), Wayne Gabriel (brother), and three nephews Jayden, Isaiah, and Noah Gabriel], extended family members, many friends, sisters' in prayer, colleagues and all who knew her. She was born and raised in Montreal, and moved to Toronto in 2002 where she devoted the following 22 years to building an entrepreneurial career in marketing and communications, a life of praise and worship, and supporting the Black community in many ways. Sandra was also a Stage 4 Cancer Warrior who courageously embraced life fully.
