She was born April 25, 1916 in Santa Paula to Agustin "Papa Tin" and Cresencia "Chita" Guevara. She was the eldest of eight children and was preceded in death by her brother, Charles "Nino Charlie" Guevara.

Gabriela was also known as "Nina Gay" to a vast extended family as a tribute to her character and respect that she earned. During WW II, Gay worked like "Rosie the Riveter" on fighter planes; it was a story she loved to tell. She also worked roughly 20 years at Briggs Lemon Association in Santa Paula.
During more than 40 years of retirement, Gay enjoyed being a homemaker, gardener, and traveling to her second home in Durango, Mexico. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Gay prayed daily for loved ones. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, listening to music, and watching TV. She also loved to sing and dance. In her leisure she enjoyed crossword puzzles and playing solitaire. Gay was an amazing woman who made all those close to her feel her dynamic spirit and will never be forgotten.
