Birgit will be fondly remembered for her unwavering generosity and deep love for her family. She was always looking out for her loved ones, offering guidance, care, and help whenever it was needed, often putting others before herself. Her kindness and willingness to support her family financially and emotionally left a lasting impact on all who knew her.
