Mary Francis Brenzel, 85, passed away Saturday afternoon from complications due to COVID-19 at Regional Hospital of Scranton. Her husband is James R. Brenzel and they would have celebrated 64 years of marriage on May 12, 2020.

Born in Carbondale, she was the daughter of Francis and Mary Munley of Archbald.

Mary, known to her friends as "Snooky," worked for Supermarket Service in Dunmore for many years and was a member of Teamster Local 229. Mary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Mary was a faithful Catholic and lifelong member of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Archbald. Mary volunteered for several years for the Charismatic Renewal Conference for the Scranton diocese. She enjoyed traveling with her senior group, where her favorite trip was to Rome, but also loved the trips to the casino in Atlantic City. Mary was a hardworking woman but always found time for friends and family. She enjoyed getting together with the family every Sunday for dinner.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Mary Munley; daughter, Elizabeth Delicati and infant son, James Robert Brenzel; and brothers and sisters, Robert, Francis, Margaret "Peggy" Kastawa and Gerald.

The family would like to thank the staff at St. Mary's Villa Nursing Home in Elmhurst Twp. where she had been a resident for the last four years.
