Born on October 19, 1929 in Italy, Gabriella was known for her selfless heart and generous spirit, always placing the needs of others before her own and teaching those around her the true meaning of unconditional love. A devout Catholic, her faith was the foundation of her life and a lasting source of strength, compassion, and comfort to all who knew her. She was a gracious host to all those who entered her home sharing her culinary and baking specialties for all to enjoy!
Gabriella is survived by her brother Georgio Rosati, four daughters and their spouses, Anne & David Fein, Betty Hillen & Kevin Gelston, Phyllis Peppelaar & Robby Ritchie, and Roberta & Jimmy Seifert, as well as her eight grandchildren, Eric Fein (Ashlee), Megan Peters (Jeff), Laura Keralla (Darren), Sarah Furch (Brian), Kate Gelston, Julia Seifert, Dylan Peppelaar, & Nikki Seifert, and her five great grandchildren, Madelyn Peters, Dominick Keralla, Hannah Peters, Clark Keralla, & Dalton Keralla. She was preceded in death by her husband, Albert Petrino.
