BRENZALL, Marie (Amodeo) - 1925-2021 - Sadly, Marie passed away on February 1, 2021.
Along with her husband Charles ‘Chuck’ Brenzall, Marie was a long-time resident of Richmond Hill.
Marie and Chuck were married for 62 years before he passed in 2005, building a life full of love, laughter and, most importantly, chocolate cake.
Marie grew up with four brothers in an Italian-Scottish immigrant family.
Out of necessity, she developed a feisty and determined personality along with a zest for life, which she maintained throughout her 95 years.
Charleen was her only daughter, and a more devoted mother-child relationship seems impossible to imagine. Marie was so proud of Charleen and all that she accomplished as a lawyer.
When Charleen married John he too became an important part of the family. The only thing Marie loved more than teasing John was feeding the family dogs table scraps over his objection.
Marie was a committed, fun and kind grandmother (aka Nanny) to Luke (Danielle Koehn) and Maggie. Luke and Maggie continued to enjoy an incredibly close relationship with Nanny well into adulthood. Marie was thrilled that she lived long enough to meet her great-grandson Hudson, who also loved her very much.
Marie was predeceased by her brothers Richard, Joe and Jimmy. Sammy, the baby of the family, carries on the family legacy.
There won’t be a funeral service. Arrangementgs with Marshall Funeral Home.
