Gabrielle Weisberg Obituary

Gabrielle Weisberg passed away suddenly after a brief illness. Beloved wife of Donald; dear mother of Danielle (Adam Heller), and Jordyn; daughter of the late Gabriel and Pierre Aprati; fond sister of Michael, Jeffrey (Sue), and the late Danny (Michele) Aprati; loving aunt of Brittany, Gabe, Tyler, and Amanda. Gabrielle was a force of nature. She was the light of her family and lit up every room she walked into - and you would know she was coming because of her dogs who lovingly tailed her. She and Donny are an example of true partnership and love. She was beautiful, kind, fiery and left an impression on everyone she met. She loved fiercely and we will all remember her fiercely in return. Gabrielle took pride in being a Top 1% Realtor of Baird and Warner, Board of Director at Gold Coast Neighbors, and a Board Member of Service Club of Chicago. Visitation Friday, April 13, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. with Funeral Mass to follow at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Name Cathedral, 735 N. State Street, Chicago, IL 60610. Donations to Northwestern Memorial Foundation, foundation.nmh.org/weisberg to benefit lung cancer, a cause near and dear to Gabrielle's heart. For further information please call 312-421-0936 or www.michalikfuneralhome.com.

There are no words, which have not been spoken about lovely Gabrielle, I am sure. I am stunned she is gone. I loved her. We shared many a laugh together, Gabrielle with her spot-on observations, her rapier wit and her bright beautiful mind and heart. I pray God will comfort her family.I am certain she is in the loving arms of the Angels, because they would welcome an Angel such as Gabrielle. Trudy Adair Kaplan

We are so saddened over the sudden loss of Gabrielle. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. May her soul rest in peace and may your family find peace and comfort in the love and support of all who new and loved Gabrielle.
Our heartfelt sympathies, Gail and Steve McMillan

Gabrielle contained a light that illuminated any room she entered, a warm glow that encircled those fortunate enough to be in her company. That was never more apparent than when she was talking about her two girls-Proud and protective. She loved her friends and a night on the town, but all stopped when Danielle, and or Jordyn came home-Family came first. All of you that loved her understood her priorities, and loved her more as a result.

To spend time with Donny and Gabrielle was to reinforce your belief in the institution of marriage. They were one of those couples that are always a delight to be in their company. It was clear they felt comfortable and confident independently, yet were stronger as a unit. Whether at a parent party at Latin, a charity event, or any other social gathering, they seemed to always be center stage, as if the part radiated out from them.

Our family joins those that are devastated by this sad and shocking news. Our thoughts go out to all that loved her, and will always keep her light inside our hearts.
