Faye Weisgal's Obituary
Faye Weisgal passed away peacefully after a bravely fought battle with cancer on May 27, 2022 in Wesley Chapel, Florida. She was 73.
Faye was born on April 11, 1949 in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York to Sylvia and Leonard Rothberg. She graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1967 and earned an Associate of Fine Arts Degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Faye married the love of her life, Leo Weisgal, on September 15, 1968 shortly before he deployed to Vietnam.
After moving to Levittown, Long Island in 1977, Faye held various jobs while raising her family. Her last career before retiring in 2006 was as an accomplished personal banker. Faye began retirement with Leo after building a home in Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club in San Antonio, Florida. She was thrilled to be closer to her grandsons and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Faye was a supremely generous individual who loved helping others. Numerous friends and family have benefitted from both her extraordinary ability to listen and provide timely and meaningful advice.
