Maria Brodecki

Maria Brodecki, born on January 2nd, 1936, passed away peacefully on December 11th, surrounded by the love of her family.
Maria was a woman of deep kindness, quiet strength, and unwavering faith. Born in Poland, she immigrated to New York in 1961 and a few months later married her love, Eugene, with whom she shared many happy years. Together they built a beautiful life rooted in family, tradition, and dedication.
A devoted wife, mother, and babci, Maria was the heart of her family. She was selfless in all she did and truly valued her family and friends above all else. Maria found joy in cooking and baking for those she loved, tending to her vegetable and flower gardens and sharing the fruits of her labor with everyone, taking peaceful walks around the neighborhood, entertaining family and friends, and attending daily Mass, which reflected her strong faith and spiritual life. She was deeply loved and will be fondly remembered by all who have been blessed to know her.
Maria was preceded in death by her beloved husband Eugene as well as her parents and siblings.
She is survived by her loving daughters, Diane (Richard) and Margaret (Celestino); and her cherished grandchildren, Danielle (Julian), Megan, Ryan, Adam, and Amy.
Maria's legacy of love, kindness, and devotion will live on through her family and all whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
