Larissa Robaert Brady

Mrs. Larissa Robaert Brady, 53, of Woodstock, passed away suddenly Sunday, May 5, 2024, while celebrating the graduation of her daughter from Ohio State University.

She is survived by husband of 23 years, Jeff Brady; children, Elizabeth and Edward Brady; mother, Lony Robaert; sister, Fernanda Robaert Konrath; brothers, Ervino Junior and Henrique Robaert; and several nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by father and a daughter.

She has extended family from her husband, as well as an extensive family network in Brazil.

She was born in Pelotas, Brazil, to Ervino and Lony Robaert and was the second of four children. She was raised Lutheran, and her childhood was a happy one surrounded by a close family in Pelotas and Novo Hamburgo, Brazil. Her family was of Germanic descent and were settled in an area known for making shoes.

She graduated with degrees as an economist and in agriculture. She was working in banking when she was introduced to her future husband due to similar family connections to the shoe business and close ties with family being neighbors. Jeff and Larissa were wed in 2001 and settled in Woodstock to raise a family. She had a great love for gardening and travel. Over the next 23 years, she was able to visit most of the country and enjoyed the diversity and natural beauty that nature had to offer.

Her hobbies included gardening and landscaping around her home. She loved her family and children with a passion and was extremely protective of them like a mother bear. Most of her free time was spent in the north Georgia mountains where she found a second home in Ellijay.

Services were held Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Bernhardt Funeral Home. Burial followed at the Yukon Cemetery.

The family requests that you tell a loved one how much they mean to you.
