Priscilla Weinberg Memorial Fund
Donation protected
On Friday July 3, 2020, we lost a beloved wife, mother, and friend. Priscilla Weinberg passed away due to a hemorrhagic stroke that happened suddenly and without warning, thankfully without pain. Priscilla would have been 72 years old on August 8th.
Priscilla is survived by her husband of 36 Years, Robert "Bobby" Weinberg and her daughters Andrea Rulka and Gretchen Pilzer.
Priscilla was the most kind, loving, supportive, and beautiful soul, a gift to this world. She was born in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands of Puerto Rican heritage, as her father was an evangelical preacher throughout the Virgin Islands and Caribbean. She spent her early childhood in Cuba, and at four years old after her parents split up, her father placed her in a children's home run by his church in Cleveland, Tennessee. When Priscilla became pregnant with her first child (Andrea), she moved to the Bronx in New York to live with her mother. Shortly thereafter Priscilla met Steven Pilzer, converted to Judaism and they were married. Steven adopted Andrea and three years later Gretchen was born. Steven moved the family to Putnam Lake, N.Y. and in 1978 Priscilla and Steven were divorced. (Steven died in 2009). Her and the girls then moved to Brewster, NY.
Bobby met Priscilla one night at a disco in Lake Carmel, NY near where he lived, only a few miles from Brewster. They fell in love that night and had been together ever since. They married five years later (also at a disco) and in 1985, the family moved to South Florida. Bobby is ever so eager to tell in detail, the tale of how they met, to anyone who will listen.
The only other thing that matched the love Priscilla had for Bob and her family and friends, was her love of Blues music. Anyone who has ever been to Bob’s and Priscilla’s home knows that as soon as you step through the door you are going to be greeted by the sound of Blues music playing. You will also be surrounded by CDs, photographs, posters, books, and memorabilia celebrating the Blues throughout the house.
As you all know, Bobby with Priscilla by his side, the two were inseparable. They were true soulmates who were two sides of the same coin. Bobby & Priscilla have had a profound influence on the Blues scene in South Florida. Bobby would be the first one to tell you, that knowing that Priscilla always had his back made it truly a labor of love and driven by her love for him.
Hemorrhagic strokes make up about 13 % of all stroke cases with a survival rate of only about 25%. Every year, about 800,000 people in the United States have a stroke with 140,000 of those being fatal. In lieu of flowers, we ask you to help and honor Priscilla Weinberg by donating whatever you can to our GoFundMe . 100% of monies received will be donated to the American Stroke Association (a division of the American Heart Association). Your contribution will help fight stroke and heart disease, fund research, educational programs and advocacy efforts in our communities.
Thank you and God bless.
