Abby was born in Pierre, SD, February 12th, 2002 to Randall and Brenda (Greer) Gilkerson. She was currently finishing high school at Yankton High School and working full time as Activities Assistant at Sunset Manor in Irene, SD.

Abby enjoyed her job, cooking, painting, and baking with her mom. She was just becoming the independent young woman she was raised to be.

She loved hanging out with her big brothers, Chinese take out, taking weekend trips with her mom, and was an avid collector of monster high dolls through her life.

Blessed to have shared her life was her mother, Brenda K. Greer, her father Randall S. Gilkerson (passed away when she was 5), her brothers, Daniel M. Gilkerson, and Samual J. Gilkerson.

 The family requests casual attire at the service as that is what Abby would have wanted.
