Gabriele Kallenborn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 20, 2024.
Gabriele Kallenborn, 70, of Westport, passed away on September 16 after a heart attack.

Gabriele was born on August 15 in Germany. She lived in Switzerland, Peru, and Argentina before settling in the United States.

After graduating with a degree in Naturopathic Medicine from The National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, she started her practice in Westport as a Naturopathic Doctor, a successful career she loved for over 30 years.

Gabriele is survived by her daughter Anna. She was preceded in death by her husband Goran, father Josef, and mother Johanna.

She was a Renaissance woman whose interests included bee keeping, making wine, watching opera, learning new languages, biking and painting. She loved sharing her talents and knowledge with her large group of friends.

Services will be held at Compo Beach in October. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Friends of Culebra Animals, Inc., a non-profit organization that helps re-home dogs and cats from Puerto Rico. It's an organization she cared about and contributed to over the years.

She will be remembered as someone who lived life to the fullest.

I first met Gabriele KALLENBORN over 10 years ago when my wife, Jenni, recommended I seek less traditional treatment for several physical ailments. Over the years that ensued, the care I received from Gabriel´s multiple skills were often miraculous. Whatever the outcome of a visit to Gabriel´s practice, I always left in a better emotional state. Her commitment to a mysterious energy to help the body heal made me feel more open-minded and more optimistic about our world.
Thank you for that, Gabriele.

Dr Kallenborn was truly one of a kind and leaves behind such an amazing legacy of intelligence, caring, kindness, versatility, and professionalism. I´ve known her for just about fifteen years, and during that time she quickly became so much more than my doctor, she was my very good friend. I talked to her monthly and she always had such insight and perspective that would leave me feeling so much better when we concluded our calls. She helped me deal with health issues over the years, as well as dealing with all kinds of life dramas, including a year-long time of stress on my job before I retired. There were so many people my sister and I referred to her over the years, and they all walked away knowing what a precious gem she was. I have been deeply rocked by the news of her passing, and still finding it very difficult to believe. Even though many of our appointments were virtual, I am so blessed that I just met with her in Connecticut on September 4th, and she was so gracious as usual. As we were leaving, my sister and I both got this big warm hug from her, like we always did when we visited. I will always cherish it! I was further blessed to speak with her on the phone 5 days later on September 9th, not knowing that was actually our farewell. My prayer is that her legacy of kindness, compassion, and generosity will live on forever! There is so much that she has taught me over the years so I know she will always remain in my heart!

I met Dr, Kallenborn nearly 15 years ago. The relationship quickly blossomed into a close friendship because of her deep compassion for people. She was invested in her clients, and leaves behind a legacy of kindness and benevolence. I will never forget that she was able to give us a little more time with our Mom who was battling lung cancer, and then helped us through the grief process. We talked about so many things down through the years and she always had an intelligent, clear and fair perspective to offer. I'm still reeling from the sudden loss of a precious friend that I talked with once a month for nearly 15 years. Her passing leaves a very real void....she will be greatly missed. Take your well deserved rest, dear friend. Deanna Lee

Gabriele will be sorely missed by all who knew her. I know I used to say if the end of the world was threatened I would go to her as she would know how to survive. That is why her passing came as such a shock.

For many years we have enjoyed her company. Trips to China Town in New York City with her and Anna, Sundays at Compo Beach, with home brewed wine and of course venison that she marinated in her special sauce. She was a special person and I will have long lasting memories of the times spent with her. Rest in peace my friend.

I was fortunate to meet Gabriele through her daughter, Anna, in 2019. That year, she welcomed me into her home for Thanksgiving, and it remains one of the most memorable and beautiful holidays I´ve ever experienced. I´ll never forget, sitting around the table long into the evening, laughing so hard as we shared stories over bottles of her homemade wine.

During the early days of the pandemic, Gabriele didn´t hesitate to come to New York City to pick Anna and me up, making sure we were safe and cared for during such an uncertain time. That´s what I´ll always remember about Gabriele-putting others first, especially her daughter who she helped shape into one of the most thoughtful, bright, and joyful souls I know.

Gabriele's strength, generosity, and unwavering care for those she loved will always be remembered.
