William Brandner Obituary

Name: Memorial Mass for William S. Brandner
Start: 2016-07-19T19:00:00.000Z
Location: Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church

Our beloved father, William S. Brandner, passed away on Friday, July 15, 2016, at the age of 95, surrounded by his children. A native of New Orleans, Bill attended Jesuit High School, graduating in 1937. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1941-1945 as a Boatswain Mate. For 37 years, he was owner of Brandner Furniture Store and Ridge House Gallery. He was a member of Knights of Columbus and served as past president of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, archdiocese of New Orleans. Rita, Bill's wife of 72 years, passed away two years ago and he felt her presence daily. They are now reunited for eternity. Bill was predeceased by one loving son, Dr. Scot Brandner, and is survived by one sister, Sister Patricia Brandner, CSJ. His memory will be cherished by his children, William, Jr., (Kathy), Dr. Patrick J., (Kelli), Kathleen Fernandez, (Jose), Michael, (Cindy), Dr. Craig, (Pam), Maureen Muller, and a very special niece, Janet Ketcham, (Steve). He was dearly loved by eleven grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family requests Masses, or memorial donations may be made to Society of Vincent de Paul, Community Care Hospice in Hammond, LA, or Jesuit High School Endowment Fund. The family wishes to thank Community Care Hospice, and especially Megan and Lisa, for their compassion and outstanding care given our father in his last days with us. Relatives and friends are invited to a Memorial Mass at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Mandeville, on Tuesday, July 19, at 2 p.m. A private graveside service will be held Tuesday at 10 a.m. To view and sign the family guestbook, please visit www.lakelawnmetairie.com .

Knew him well as a devoted and very compassionate Vincentian. A real friend of the poor. He inspired and I admired and loved him as a friend. Good bye old friend. Rest in a deserved peace.
