Gabriella DeVito Obituary

Gabriella Loren DeVito
Gabriella Loren DeVito, 35, of Norfolk, formerly of Westport, passed away on Friday, October 18, 2019. She is the daughter of Mary and Thomas DeVito, sister of Danielle and Brianna DeVito, Talia Silvestro, and loving aunt GG to Dominic and Rosalie Silvestro. She will also be remembered by the hundreds of people touched by her bright spirit and kind heart. Gabriella was abundantly kind, compassionate and sensitive. Since childhood, she was adventurous, goofy, and full of life.
Throughout the struggles she faced in life, she remained kind and gentle and always concerned with others. In recovery, she was appreciative of her life, her family, friends and her sobriety. She devoted herself for the past five and a half years to a career helping anyone she could in their own recovery, where she found purpose in helping others who struggled with addiction.
Her journey and the strength she carried was inspiring and exciting for everyone who loves her. Her heart cared deeply for everyone she met. She was an exceptional daughter, sister, aunt and friend and she will be missed dearly by us all.
A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, October 27th at 12:00 noon at Collins Funeral Home, 92 East Avenue in Norwalk. Friends may visit with the family from 11:00 AM until the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Operation Hope - www.operationhopect.org

I am so deeply saddened by Gabby's passing. She was a bright star in my day when I'd see her at Litchfield Fitness Center where I helped to teach her self defense and out on one of our day hikes. I will forever miss her smile. My condolences to you her family and friends. Leon Bouteiller.

Your smile and quick sense of humor were a great gift you shared with everyone you came in contact with. I'm heartbroken with this loss of your beautiful soul. I hope you can finally SIP my dear friend!! I will never forget you Gabby!!!

My God, does my heart ache. The only beautiful thing to come of this is that in my heart and soul, I believe that just the thought of you will bring the presence of your grace into our lives; a gentle touch of the mind, a feeling at the base of the skull that you are somehow still with us. Energy simply doesn't dissipate and yours certainly won't. You're our star, you get to observe and feel the relentless love we all have and ever shall have for you. We are all blessed to have had you weave through our lives and I will continue to believe and embrace the idea that if I simply think of you, you will somehow be there. I love you as I have always loved you, unconditionally and deeply and I know that we will cross paths again. I'll be looking for your star, knowing it's there, you unbelievably beautiful soul.
