Brine' NAKELL Obituary

NAKELL, Brine' (Bernice) (nee Davis) Born November 11, 1919. She lived a long and fulfilling life. She was born in Detroit, married Jack Nakell, and they had three beloved children, Barry (Edith "Kybi" Gugger), Martin (Rebecca Goodman), and Linda (Robert Dawson).

She loved her grandchildren, Jessica Nakell Burroughs, Stacy Nakell, and Joren Dawson, and great-grandsons Reuben and Levi Burroughs, cousin Susan Baronoff, nephew Nathan Light (Pattie Light), as well as her many other nieces and nephews. Brine was active in the Variety Club and volunteered at UCLA Medical Center. She dressed beautifully every day and enjoyed ballroom dancing and playing bridge. She resided at Palm Court, and befriended many of the residents and employees there. She was a model of aging, handled her medical challenges with notable grace, and will be missed by all who knew her. Services will be held Friday at 2:00 pm at the TaNaCH Chapel, Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries - Hollywood Hills, (800) 600-0076.

I loved my Grandma Brine! We got even closer in the past several years and I am feeling the loss of our dear matriarch.

Always a ray of sunshine in my life whenever we crossed paths. I was "Chuck-a-Luck" to her even at age 50 and that was fine with me. Sad to hear of her passing.
