Marilyn Braychak

Marilyn (Slutak) Braychak, 80, of Middletown CT beloved wife of 55 years to the late Robert F. Braychak passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 19th, 2022. Marilyn was born in Yonkers, NY, on December 30th 1941 to the late John and Veronica (Ludian) Slutak. Not long after, the Slutak's moved to Milford, CT and, in 1959, Marilyn graduated from Milford High School. Following high school, Marilyn worked at Avco in Stratford, CT. There Marilyn met the "love of her life", Robert, of Monroe, CT. They were married on May 7th, 1966 and brought into the world two sons, Louis (predeceased on March 6th, 1984) and William of Middletown, CT. Shortly after the passing of her husband, Marilyn moved to Middletown to be closer to her son, daughter-in-law, Marie, and the rest of their family. Marilyn is survived not only by her son and daughter-in-law, but her grand-dogs (Robinson & Gatsby), her grandchildren and their spouses (Matthew & Allison and Samantha & Joe), and her recently born great-grandchildren (Abby, Teddy, and Sully). All of whom she loved to brag about! In life, Marilyn most enjoyed spending time with her friends and family members, sharing with them a nice meal or simply a cup of coffee. She was not just the mother of two sons, but, over the years, of numerous dogs; Goldie, Kay, Maddie, Patrick, Ringo, Regan, Susie, and Trixie. Marilyn was a proud charter member and served as Treasurer of the Irish Red and White Setter Association; a national club whose primary goal was getting the Irish Red and White Setter dog breed recognized by the American Kennel Club. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11am on Monday, April 25th 2022, at Saint Pius X Catholic Church, 310 Westfield Street, Middletown CT. A private burial will be held. Friends are invited to pay their respects prior to Mass from 10am to 11am. Those who wishing to send memorial contributions may do so to Xavier High School Financial Aid, in Middletown, CT.
