Gabrielle Augusta Hartwig Obituary
Gabrielle Augusta Hartwig "Gabby" received the crown of life on Sunday, July 28th surrounded and comforted by her family at home. She has, at last, been fully healed by her savior Jesus - The Great Physician. Gabby was a proud big sister to Greta and Charles and the beloved daughter of Chuck and Janeen. She will be dearly missed by her gracious and loving grandparents Mary (nee Wiberg) and Kirk Springer who she knew by "nana" and "pa". Gabby loved her aunts, uncles, and cousins who surrounded her with much love and support. Gabby's faith in Jesus and trust in God's good and gracious will was nurtured and upheld by her church family at Peace Lutheran Church in Sussex, WI where she loved to sing in the children's choir. Gabby was an inspiration to all who knew her or knew her story. While her life was filled with great suffering and tribulation, she maintained a love for life and always made the most of her days, whether they were healthy or challenging. Her days were filled with many creative pursuits - drawing, painting, cooking, and other crafts as well as learning at home with dear tutor Miss Maria. She loved to work on her dance skills and work toward annual recitals as much as her body was able thanks to Miss Julie at DanceTracks. The Hartwig family is grateful to the care team at the MACC Fund Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and the Pediatric General Surgery team at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for the superior care provided during her nearly six years under their care. Many thanks are also given to integrative care partners at Zuza's Way Integrative Care (Thiensvile, WI), Naturopathic Specialists (Scottsdale, AZ), and Mobile IV MKE who all provided critical supportive care to Gabby and her family.
Be Thou my consolation, My shield, when I must die; Remind me of Thy passion When my last hour draws nigh. Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfod Thee. Who dieth thus dies well.
Visitation on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at Peace Lutheran Church, W240 N6145 Maple Ave in Sussex from 9AM until time of the Funeral Service at 12PM, followed by procession to Lisbon Merton Union Cemetery for burial.
