Gisela S. Guerra

“Shelly”

March 1, 1957 – October 16, 2026

With profound sadness and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of Gisela Silvana Guerra Lamboglia, affectionately known as Shelly, who departed this life on October 16, 2026, at the age of 69.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we find comfort in celebrating the beautiful life she lived, the love she shared, and the countless memories she leaves behind.

Shelly was a truly remarkable woman whose loving, caring, and compassionate soul touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. She possessed a wild spirit, a heart of gold, and an extraordinary zest for life. She embraced every moment with passion, laughter, and an unmistakable light that made her presence unforgettable.

Wherever she went, she brought warmth, happiness, and joy, brightening every room she entered and making others feel welcomed, valued, and loved.

Above all, Shelly was an amazing mother whose love knew no limits. She was a source of strength, comfort, wisdom, and unconditional support, giving so much of herself to those she held dear. Her love was constant, her heart was generous, and her devotion to her family was immeasurable. She was not only a mother but also a trusted confidante, a guiding light, and a source of inspiration whose influence will live on through the lives she nurtured.

As a grandmother, Shelly was adored beyond measure. Her three granddaughters held a special place in her heart, bringing her immense pride and happiness. The love she shared with them created precious memories that will forever be treasured. Her laughter, affection, and loving spirit will remain a beautiful part of their lives, carried in their hearts for generations to come.

Shelly was also a wonderful friend, a cherished family member, and a beloved soul whose kindness and vibrant personality left a lasting impression. She had a special way of making people feel connected, turning ordinary moments into treasured memories and bringing people together through her warmth and generosity. She lived life on her own terms, with courage, character, and a free spirit that could never be contained. She reminded those around her to embrace life, love deeply, laugh often, and appreciate the beautiful moments that make life meaningful.

Gisela leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory, including her children, Raul A. Guerra Jr. and Dayanara Isabel Guerra; her three beloved granddaughters; and her siblings, Celestino Lamboglia, Marco Lamboglia, and Xio Mara Lamboglia. She will also be remembered with deep affection by her extended family, dear friends, and all those whose lives she touched along the way.

Although Shelly’s physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit will never truly leave. She lives on in the stories we share, the laughter that recalls her, the love she planted in our hearts, and the countless ways she made life more beautiful simply by being herself. The void left by her passing is profound, but so is the legacy of love, joy, and compassion she leaves behind.

Shelly was one of a kind—a beautiful soul, a fierce spirit, a loving mother, an adored grandmother, and a friend to so many. She was loved by all, and she will be missed more than words could ever express.

May she rest peacefully, free in spirit, surrounded by eternal love. May her light continue to shine through everyone who knew her, and may the beautiful memories of her life bring comfort to those who mourn her.

Forever loved. Forever cherished. Forever in our hearts.

Rest in peace, Shelly. Your love will never fade, your light will never be forgotten, and your spirit will live on forever.
