Gisela Bronner Obituary

Bronner, Gisela Found peace on November 18, 2009, at the age of 71. Dear wife of Ralph for 50 years. Mother of Scott (Taeko), Mark (Amy), and Eric (Halli). Loving Oma of 11 wonderful grandchildren, including Eric's newborn son Titus, who was born just 2 hours after Gisela left for the Promised Land. A special heartfelt thank you to Gisela's sister Heide who flew in from Berlin, Germany and comforted Gisela and never left her side during the last 2 weeks of her life here on earth. She was especially loved by her sister-in-law Trudy and her 3 children, David, Michael, Lisa and their families. We will miss her blue eyes, her smile, her "Berliner" sense of humor, her love of singing, her service to the community and her passion for children. Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2009, AT ST. JOHN UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, N104 W14181 Donges Bay Rd., in Germantown, from 11AM until the time of the Memorial Service at 1PM. The family would greatly appreciate memorials to the church, in lieu of flowers.

Dear Ralph and Bronner Sons and Families,

Please accept my condolences on the loss of Gisela. It was a blessing for me to be able to celebrate her life with all of you at her memorial service. After moving from WI, it was always special for me to spend time with Ralph and Gisela at the East coast conventions here in the DC area. And, of course, all of my memories start with Muir parties and gatherings.
Gisela will live in my heart and memories. God bless you all.
Love, Barb

Dear Ralph,

I was saddened to hear of Gisela's passing. She will be greatly missed, especially her "Berliner's sense of humor." It was always a pleasure to see her. My condolences to your sons as well.
Sincerely,

Dear Ralph,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. My heart goes out to your boys, as well. Her soft, yet stern smile, with the blue eyed beauty within, will be forever etched in my memory. You saved my life with your soap once and I am here to help in any way during your grieving process and beyond.

Dear Ralph and Family:
Words simply fail to capture the essence of a person or to convey my condolences. I hope that the upcoming weeks and months will bring serenity and peace to both Ralph and family. I will remember all the many times both of you attended our shows and your continual support and graciousness. I am glad that I was able to break bread with both you and your lovely and very loving wife, Gisela.
With sympathy,

Dear Ralph & Family,
When we played Sheepshead and (sometimes worked) at Muir in the late 70's I can remember how fondly you always talked of Gisela. Never the jokes others of us often made about our spouses. I'm sure she will be missed but I have great faith in that indefatigable Bronner spirit. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Peace,

Oh, Ralph. Gisela will be so sorely missed by all of us who knew and loved her. We are hoping you are getting through this OK; thinking of you and sending you our warmest and most affectionate thoughts. I'll never forget how Gisela shyly sang "Heilige Nacht" for all of us at our Christmas music gatherings, how gracious and thoughtful she always was to all of us -- in the kitchen quietly helping with the food and dishes, always asking after everyone else's lives and needs. Her great sense of humor! And especially how her entire countenance would light up when she spoke of your children and grandchildren. We are so deeply sorry to miss seeing you on Saturday, as we will be in Portland, OR, with our sons. Sending all our love to you and your family.
