Gabriela was born on March 29, 1963, in Sereye, Eritrea to Webet Gebregziabher (mother) and Fitwe Asres (father). They had a total of 6 children. At an early age, she was adopted by her uncle Kibrom Asres (also known as Aboye/dad) and Meheret Gebrekiristos (Emaye/mother). They had a total of 7 children including Gabriela. The Kibrom family brought her to Addis Ababa to give her access to educational opportunity. Gabriela attended Amha Desta Primary School for the Deaf in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Gabriela moved to the United States of America in 1990. She attended Camden Community College in Camden, New Jersey. She was awarded a lifetime membership from the Pennsylvania Society for the Advancement of the Deaf in 1994.
Gabriela moved to Hazleton, PA after marrying Hailu Yesuneh. She gave birth to her beautiful daughter, Sophie Yesuneh, in 1991. She was a devoted and doting mother.

She later moved to Glenolden, PA in 2001 and continued to raise her daughter as a single mom, holding more than one job at any given time. Gabriela found her community and became a member of the Deaf Christian Philadelphia Church. Gabriela was a devoted Christian, who loved fellowship and to sing the gospel. She was ever so sweet and always gave selflessly to all kinds of community service with love. She always had the biggest smile and enjoyed life to the fullest through laughter. She moved to Washington, DC in 2018 to be closer to her daughter and family due to her health condition.
Gabriela is survived by her father Fitwe Asres, her mother Meheret Gebrekiristos, daughter Sophie Yesuneh and siblings Mehret Fitwe, Equba Fitwe, Fekerte Fitwe, Mahlet Fitwe, Askale Kibrom, Rozina Kibrom, Alem kibrom, Samson Kibrom, Tedros Kibrom, Helen Kibrom.
