Brenda Gadarowski Obituary

Brenda A. (Steinmeyer) Gadarowski, 55, of East Hartford, wife of the late Stanley Gadarowski, passed away unexpectedly at home on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013.

She was born on Sept. 18, 1958, in Hartford, daughter of Paul and Sue (Reneker) Steinmeyer of Columbia.

In addition to her parents she is survived by her children, Tara Gadarowski, Jeremy Gadarowski, Kristopher Michael Siptroth, and Benjamin Siptroth; her grandson, Bailey Gadarowski; and her brother, Paul Steinmeyer of Colchester. In addition to her husband she was predeceased by her brother, Richard Steinmeyer.

In lieu of flowers her family is requesting that donations be made to Protectors of Animals, as she was an avid rescuer of cats, and fostered several in emergencies and through rehabilitation until adoption with forever homes.

A memorial service will be celebrated on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013, at 5 p.m. at Faith Baptist Church, 52 Lake St., Manchester.

I am so happy that I had a chance to meet Brenda and be able to have a conversation with her here and there. I loved her sense of humor and I admired her for always making something out of nothing. I'm sad that her life was cut short but I know she is in a better place and is looking down on us all. She will forever live on in our hearts. We love you Brenda. Rest peacefully ??

To my mother like no other... You showed so much love to me. You also spoke your mind and kept a loving heart. I learned so much from you: from day one to to this present day and I thank you for making me into the man I am today... There will never be enough words or emotions I can spread to let friends know how much you mean to me but I will continue to be great and make you live on. I'm glad we kept in contact throughout all the years... I'm so happy you met Lauren and you loved her with open arms and said "this is the one and you need to make me a grandchild" lol... I just love you mom. RIP mom aka mom dukes... Gone but will NEVER be forgotten!

Mom,
I miss you each and everyday and still expect you to call or text me and tell me your okay. I'm so pleased to have you as my mother and I'm glad we always figured a way to stay in contact and share many moments that I can laugh, cry and share to friends and my future family. I'm so happy you saw me graduate from college and I saw you and you were so proud. I'm going to continue to show the love, hustle and respect that you taught me in many ways. I know you are in a happier place but I will continue to miss you unconditionally each and everyday. I love you mom aka mom dukes... Until I see you again may you RIP.
