Lauretta Marie Brozyna, 90 of Allouez, went joyfully home to Jesus on November 8, 2010. She was born August 17, 1920, the daughter of the late William and Gladys Beaumier. On May 20, 1939 she married Edwin J. Brozyna. They were married for 56 years when he died on July 15, 1995. She was also preceded in death by their son Paul, at age 19, their infant grandson, Joseph Jacobs, her brother, Louis Beamier and her sister Carole Schilling. She is survived by her daughters; Bonnie (Richard) Jacobs, Green Bay, and their children; Julie Livingston and fianc Jay Boettge, Mary Beth (David) Vander Steeg, both of De Pere; Michael, Green Bay; and Karyn (Mark) Dart of Grenta, NE; and Marjorie (Paul) Noel, New London, and their children; Douglas (Tina) of New London, Kristin (Brett) Christopherson and Karrie (Kevin) Deering, both of Little Chute. She is further survived by 14 great-grandchildren; Daniel and Robert Livingston, Andrew and Evan Vander Steeg, Jacob, Michael, and Shaun Dart, Shayla, Abbie, and Delaine Noel, Ryan and Connor Christopherson, Blake, Allie, and Meggen Deering. Her sisters, Betty Smits, and Joanne (Ralph) Strojny, of Green Bay; and Pat (Larry) Peterson of Fairfield Glade, TN, also survive her, as well as a brother-in-law Chuck Schilling, sister-in-law Janet Ryan, special cousin Mary (Don) Mueller, and other nieces and nephews, family members and friends. Laurette loved her family and being with them and her friends. She was first and foremost a wife and mother. When the children were grown she enjoyed working as an assistant cook at Preble High School, at the Salad Garden in Port Plaza Mall, and later at Resurrection Catholic Grade School in the cafeteria. She loved to cook and bake and enjoyed teaching others how she did it. Laurette was a seamstress and quilter and proudly made a beautiful hand stitched quilt for each daughter, grandchild, and even a few of the great-grandchildren. She was a volunteer for the St. Vincent Hospital Auxiliary and many things at Resurrection including vacation Bible School, making her famous cinnamon buns and donuts. After she acquired macular degeneration she had to give this all up, but she continued to knit scarves as long as she could. She and Ed enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, and going up to the Eagle River area for fishing. They both enjoyed bowling and golfing as well. And she was always ready for shopping!!! When she had to give up her car and later her home due to her failing eyesight, it was hard for her to accept, but she did her best. The family is grateful for the love, support, and care given to her at Bellevue Community Center, then Angel's Touch Assisted Living and, finally, Unity Hospice and wishes to express their deepest appreciation and gratitude to all the staff. Family and friends may call at Resurrection Catholic Church, 333 Hilltop Drive, Allouez from 10am to 11am Thursday, November 11, 2010, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial with Bishop Robert Morneau officiating. In Lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established. Please go to www.ryanfh.com to send online condolences to the family. The RYAN FUNERAL HOME of De Pere is assisting the family.
