Information via Spear-Miller Funeral Home

Taylor Jenée Breitbart, 37, of Fairfield, Connecticut passed away peacefully on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020 at St. Vincent Hospital in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Her passing was a result of her lifetime struggle with juvenile diabetes.

Taylor was born in Houston, Texas on Aug. 26, 1982. She graduated from Fairfield High School and attended Sacred Heart University where she studied sociology and art. Taylor is survived by her beloved 12-year-old son Shane Gilbertie, her mother Karen Varga, her father Kerry Breitbart, step-parents Jay Varga and Lillian Breitbart, her brothers Gregory and John Breitbart, her grandmother Gloria Willer, ex-husband and good friend Tyler Gilbertie and devoted and loving partner Julien Bernier as well as her wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins.

Taylor’s greatest joy was being a mother to her precious son Shane, who has been blessed with her heart, compassion and friendliness. She loved her time with family and friends. She was a talented artist, writer and equestrian who loved all animals but none more than her horse Bugs who provided her so much comfort and happiness.
