By the time she'd started her business, Gina had married her high school sweetheart, Gaetan Gouraige. They tied the knot in 1988, and they went on to have four children: Guylaine Marie-Rose, Gabrielle Marie-Therese, Emmanuel, and Etienne. Their son Emmanuel sadly died (via Amo Mama), but no details have been released as to how old their child was at the time of his death.
On May 27, 2018, Gina unexpectedly died. Her family has not revealed the details of her death, but as is detailed in her obituary (via Northside Chapel) it's "a gross understatement to say that she will be missed." It continues, "If there ever was a sweet angel, ready for heaven it was Gina."
Her memory lives on through her parents, siblings, and children. Seven months following her death, her eldest daughter, Guylaine, graduated college and gave a touching tribute to her mother on her cap which read "Mom, this one's for you" (via Instagram).
