Gabrielle Cross

Gabrielle Elizabeth Cross passed away Aug. 15, 2024, a beautiful and kind-hearted soul who left us too soon at the age of 32. 

Gabrielle Elizabeth Timmons was born April 30, 1992, in Cody, Wyoming to Susan Jolley and Randy Timmons. Throughout her childhood, Gabby and her family, which included six siblings, lived in Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Despite her travels, she always said that Wyoming was her home. Growing up, Gabby enjoyed spending time with her family doing anything fun outdoors and helping to care for her four younger siblings. As a teen, she was active in the church, held church callings, played volleyball and worked as a lifeguard. She loved joking around and playing tricks on people all for a good laugh. In 2010, Gabby graduated from Brownwood High School. 

In 2013, Gabby was blessed with her beautiful daughter Blayden and was thrilled with her entrusted calling of being a mom. Gabby worked a full-time job and went to school both during and after her pregnancy to obtain her training and certification as a certified surgical tech. She juggled the intense education, her job and being a new mom without complaint or hesitation, so she could provide a stable and loving home for her new baby girl. 

Upon obtaining her certification after many long, tiring hours, she began working full time at the hospital in Brownwood, Texas. She found new opportunities for growth in her career by becoming a travel contract scrub tech at various hospitals and centers. She found a love of gaining new knowledge with her job through these travel jobs. All the surgeons Gabby worked with loved her strong work ethic, how smart she was and encouraged her to continue her education. 

In 2019, Gabby met her soulmate, Justin Cross. 

Not long after, Gabby moved to the Big Horn Basin where she was close to many family members and quickly became a well-loved member of Justin's family. Gabby and Justin embraced being a family and loved spending time with friends in Powell where they resided. More than anything, they cherished spending time altogether as a family. In 2021 they were blessed with their sweet son Slade. He completed their loving family. Justin and Gabby married in Powell on Nov. 16 of 2022. 

After her son Slade was born, Gabby was thrilled to be able to stay at home and care for him and his sister. It was clear that being a mother and a wife meant more to her than anything else. She devoted herself happily to her family of four. Gabby also enjoyed being her husband's business partner, supporting him in building a company that supported their family. She kept up on all the necessary administrative and organizational tasks for their business. 

Gabby's favorite things to do included following her daughter in all her activities, playing with Slade, family barbecues and trips to the mountain. Her beautiful, dimpled smile, kind heart, and giving nature will be forever missed. 

She is survived by her husband Justin Cross, children Blayden and Slade, mother Susan Jolley, father Randy Timmons, mother-in-law-Val Cross, sister-in-law Kori Cross, stepfather Dave Barrett, siblings Alex Timmons, Quintton Timmons, Vanessa Timmons, Arrianna Timmons, Gatlin Barrett, and Remington Barrett, grandparents Gary and Julie Jolley, and Martin and Elane Timmons. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as her dearest friend Sara Davis. 

A celebration of her life will be held Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, 10 a.m. at the Nelson Performing Arts Building at Northwest College.
