Brooke R. Greenberg
Date of Passing:
Greenberg, Brooke R., 21, of Chapel Road, died peacefully on November 28, 2018 surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Chicago, IL, a beloved daughter of Gregory M. and Kathleen A. (Reilley) Greenberg of Barrington, she lived in Barrington for 18 years.
Brooke was a student at Marshall University in West Virginia. She had a lifelong passion for the art of dance and was a beloved student at Rosemary’s School of Dance.
Brooke lived an enormous life in her short 21 years. She had a gregarious personality that touched the hearts of everybody she ever met. Traveling was her passion and enabled her to touch the hearts and souls of many from Europe to South America.
The family would like to sincerely thank the entire staff of the Rhode Island Hospital outpatient cancer center, the 8th floor and the MICU as they became Brooke’s extended family over the last 16 months. Not only did they provide her with exceptional care, but genuine love and support.
Besides her parents she is survived by a sister, Paige R. Greenberg of Barrington; a brother, Kyle R. Greenberg of Barrington; maternal grandmother, Helen L. Reilley of North Providence; paternal grandparents, Michael and Barbara Greenberg of Harrisburg, PA; two aunts, Kerry Reilley Travers and her husband Brian of Bristol and Erin Reilley Brett and her husband Jay of Barrington and two uncles, Scott Greenberg and his wife Andrea of Corning, NY and Jeffrey Greenberg and his wife Raquel of Fort Myers, FL. She was the granddaughter of the late John Reilley.
Calling hours will be held on Tuesday December 4, 2018 in the W. RAYMOND WATSON FUNERAL HOME, 350 Willett Avenue, Riverside from 4-7 p.m. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Luke Church, Washington Road, Barrington on Wednesday December 5, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.
I’m so sorry 😞 about your daughter of yours and Happy Anniversary to my beautiful best friend Brooke and she’s always be there with me and she’ll keep me in memories and Love 💗 and Prayers!!!
My deepest condolences to the Greenberg family. It is with pain in my heart I write this message. Please know this was never Our Loving Father’s purpose for us to watch those we love suffer and die. He loves you a lot and wants to help you in this difficult time. The Bible explains in Job 14:14,15 “If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service. Until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.” In this scripture God’s servant Job expressed how the Creator has the Power to give life to all our loved ones who have passed. He was convinced that God not only has the power, but also by saying “long” he proves that God also has a strong wish or desire to resurrect our loved ones including our beautiful Brooke.
Greg and Kathleen, just wanted to pass along our sincerest condolences to you and your entire family. We did not have the pleasure of knowing Brooke but if she was anything like the two of you (which we are sure she was), she was a warm, kind hearted, friendly, caring and a very special young woman. Sending tons of love, prayers, and good thoughts to all of you. Thinking of you during this very sad time.
xoxo,
Jodie and Brad Foster
My deepest deepest sympathy for your family Greg . Prayers and thoughts are with you this day and the days ahead. Peace to you and family

Greg and family. My deepest condolences on the loss of your beautiful daughter. From reading the outpouring of compassion here, Brooke’s energy and passion for life clearly made a big impact on many people. A mark of a well lived life. I wish you strength during this time of sorrow – and eventual peace in her memory.
I am so so sorry to hear about this news. Such a beautiful girl inside and out, I wish I was home to be there for her services ❤️ Sending my sincere condolences to your family!
I didnt have the pleasure of meeting Brooke, but we had a lot of mutual friends and with that I remember so many memories and stories about her. Brooke touched the lives of so many people and she was so selfless and kindhearted. There wasn’t a more caring, thoughtful, loving person than her. Wherever she went she brought laughter and happiness and love. She was an amazing person, may the memories and stories of her flourish and continue everyday as a testimony to what a beautiful soul she was and how she impacted the lives of so many people. She will forever be missed but always in our hearts. My sincerest condolences to her family.

Greg and family did not have time for us to meet Brooke personally, but she was already part of our lives for the friendship she developed with our daughter Bruna, we realized how happy, happy and smiling she was, facing very naturally what was happening , transmitting only good things, we are very sad at his premature departure, we keep praying all these days, asking God, to command his angels to lead Brooke to paradise and to be at peace without suffering.

Dear Family of Brooke,
We remember Brooke as a great friend, after that magnificent summer we spent. The first day we remembered that we did not know how to express ourselves very well but with her we already understood and explained things to us. Let’s remember those moments in the pool or on the beach so funny by throwing us photos, videos and making our products mad. We would have liked to see it again and be able to repart all these times. La Brooke steals our hearts and we always remember her for that great summer that she gave us. We give condolences to all his family and his friends.
Your friends from Barcelona. We love you very much Brooke. We will always take her to the heart.
Bad news that from Barcelona we remember the Brooke as our family, and therefore from here in Spain we want to give our family condolences.
she was my American sister, as we said, I remember that summer as one of the best where thanks to her I could learn great things and spend fun moments. He also took a circle of friends who from here all want to give his family condolences.
We love you Brooke and we miss you.
Oh, dear. I am so, so sorry to hear. Sending all our family’s love to you all.
May her memory be a blessing.
Leslie, Jim, Jamie, and Charlie Goodwin
