Marianne "Nancy" Brozena, 87, of Plymouth Twp., passed away Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, at her home.
Born Jan. 2, 1934 in Plymouth Twp., she always got joy out of people's reaction when she said her birthday was 1-2-3-4. She was the daughter of the late Andre Andrews and Theresa Malinowski Andrews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charles "Chike" Brozena; and brothers and sisters, Joan Bogart; Carl; James; and Richard Andrews; and Alicia "Alice" Buckley.
Nancy was a self-taught pianist from a musically inclined family. She loved to spend time cooking Polish recipes that had been handed down from her mother and was known to make the best chicken soup. She was devoted to her daughters and grandchildren and loved spending her free time with them. She had a passion for helping all animals and for decorating her home for every season.
Surviving are her loving daughters, Theresa Antolik and her husband, Bob, Drums; Marianne Wazenski and her husband, Paul, Hanover Twp.; Carolyn Klein and her husband, Mike, Nanticoke; and Sharon Gallagher and her husband, Matt, Tobyhanna; grandchildren, Robert Antolik III, Drums; Brent Antolik and wife, Jordan, Oklahoma; Michael Klein, Hanover Twp.; Charles Klein, Nanticoke; and Cristen Wazenski, Hanover Twp.; sister-in-law, Alieen Andrews; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to meet for a Mass of Christian burial at 10:30 a.m. Friday in All Saints Parish, Plymouth. Interment will be in St. Mary's Nativity Cemetery, Plymouth Twp.
Family and friends are invited to call from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at S.J. Grontkowski Funeral Home, 530 W. Main St., Plymouth.
