Pauline Ann Gabb
It is with great sadness and much love that we announce the peaceful passing of Pauline Ann Gabb, née Maruk, 64, on August 5, 2025, at the Wind River Hospice House in Whitehorse, Yukon after a prolonged battle with cancer.
Pauli, the youngest of six, was born January 24, 1961, to Margaret (née McMurphy) and William Maruk at Whitehorse General Hospital in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Survived by her husband of 30 years Gregor, her daughters at heart Trista and Kara and their families, her siblings Mike (Linda) Maruk and Len (Glynis) Maruk and beloved family and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents, and siblings Irene, Adele, and John.
Pauli was a positive, caring individual who saw the brighter side of all situations. People who knew her and her outgoing personality quickly became a friend as she shared her enthusiasm for life.
She loved camping and gardening throughout the Yukon summer months, the magic of the Christmas season and winter vacations visiting family and friends.
Pauli will be remembered as a kind and generous spirit, an avid reader with a passion for cooking, who comforted those around her with good food, humour and fun.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all the health care professionals and practitioners who provided support, care and compassion to Pauli during her treatment.
A private celebration of life will be held in the summer of 2026.
In lieu of flowers, Pauli requested that donations please be made to Karen’s Room by way of Yukon Hospital Foundation at https://yhf.ca/donate

I met Pauli when I was 16 years old and finished high school at FH Collins with her. She was loved by everyone who knew her. Her smile and laugh was infectious. Gregor my heart goes out to you.
