Help Honor Gabriela Macias' Memory

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Gabriela Margarita Macias on May 18, 2025. Gabriela was a cherished member of our dance community - a warm, giving soul who brightened every social event she attended.

Gabriela had the biggest heart and a passion for life that touched everyone around her. Her love for dance was infectious, and her willingness to help anyone in need showed the depth of her character. She had a quirky sense of humor that could light up any room and a keen eye for makeup that showcased her incredible attention to detail. Gabriela loved to travel and experience new cultures, always bringing back stories that delighted us all.

At just 27 years old, Gabriela's sudden passing has left her family and our entire community heartbroken. She was only one year short of completing her master's degree, with such a bright future ahead of her. As the only daughter in her family, her loss has created an immeasurable void.

We're asking our community to come together during this extremely difficult time to support Gabriela's family. All funds raised will go directly to her loved ones to help cover funeral and burial expenses. Any support you can offer, whether financial or through sharing this campaign, would be deeply appreciated.

For those wishing to pay their respects to Gabriela and support her family during this difficult time, the funeral services will be held as follows:

Funeral Service Details:

• Tuesday, May 27, 2025

• Cristo Rey Church (2301 Colston Dr, Silver Spring, MD 20910)

• Viewing: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

• Mass: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

• Burial: 2:00 PM at Gate of Heaven Cemetery (13801 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD)

Important Note: The cemetery does not allow flowers. The family kindly requests that no flowers be brought to the service as they won't be able to transport them throughout the day.

Though Gabriela is leaving us too soon, she has left an undeniable impression on our lives. We will forever cherish the memories we shared with her and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us honor Gabriela's memory. Your support means everything to her family during this time of grief.
