Gwynneth "Gay" Lucile (Wenberg) Bronakowski
March 12, 1939 - January 20, 2023
Gwynneth "Gay" Lucile (Wenberg) Bronakowski, 83, of Batavia, IL (and many, many other places) died peacefully on January 20, 2023 at her residence, Chapel View Care Center in Hopkins, MN. Beloved mother of Cathryn (Chris) Kasic of Saint Louis Park, MN, and John (Molly) Emerson of Glen Ellyn, IL; adored grandmother of Nicholas and Aaron Kasic, Katy (Brent) Anderson, and Anna and Ella Emerson; cherished sister of James (Marilyn) Wenberg and sister-in-law of Thomas Bronakowski. She also leaves nieces and nephews and cousins whom Gay loved dearly. Gay’s dear Richard preceded her in death and was waiting for her with a red rose as she arrived at her heavenly home. She joins her mom Margaret (Rush) Wenberg, her dad Carl Wenberg, and beloved friends and family who traveled before her. Gay loved to play piano and stringed bass, listen to all kinds of music, hug her grandkids, read poetry, and discuss philosophy. Her family has been warmed for years by the afghans she crocheted throughout her life. We already miss her bright smile and adventurous spirit.
