As a teenager, Huckabee was known for her love of video games, purses, Hello Kitty and "SpongeBob Square Pants," even getting a SpongeBob tattoo. 

"Abigail’s signature and heartwarming smile was ever present when she was surrounded by family and the things she cherished and loved," her obituary says. 

She later worked at Walt Disney World as a merchandise hostess, reads her obituary.

"Abbi was such a sweet, funny person," reads a tribute on her obituary. "Truly one of the funniest people I’ve known throughout my entire life. I will always remember her for her love of cartoons and slime. A kid at heart, forever and always. It will always be a pleasure to have known such an upbeat, bubbly and bright human being. Now she rests, as a reward from a long, tiring fight. She will be missed, dearly."
