MaryAnn Bronzyk

She was born on March 17, 1932, in Menasha, Wis., the daughter of the late Herman and Hazel (Sensenbrenner) Grade.

She married John “Jack” Bronzyk on Sept. 27, 1952, in Menasha, Wis. He preceded her in death on June 3, 2013.

Jack and MaryAnn owned and operated Deluxe Dry Cleaning in Norway. She also worked as a customer service representative at Niagara of Wisconsin papermill until her retirement in 1994.

She was a member of St. Barbara Catholic Church in Vulcan, Women’s Auxiliary, a member of Loyal Order of Moose No. 1474 in Norway, and Norway-Vulcan Women’s Club.

Mom’s greatest joy was her family and many friends. Mom loved Christmas, which she celebrated for 365 days of the year. She kept her Christmas tree up year-round. She loved ceramics and everyone looked forward to getting a hand-painted Santa every year.

MaryAnn is survived by her sons, Mike (Carol) Bronzyk of Quinnesec and Joe (Patti) Bronzyk of Hamilton Lakes; daughter Kathy (Dave) Lovato of Dunbar, Wis.; grandchildren Nick Bronzyk, Kristin Solis, Randi (Andy) Waitrovich and April (Steven) Zadora, Alexa (Alastair) Bronzyk, Dane (Gina) Bronzyk, Thomas Whaley, Paige (Bryce) Babiash, Melanie Lovato (Noah), Misty (Josh) Giese, and Shelly (Steve) LaBonte; great-grandchildren Rhylin Horton Rowan, Reagan and Rose Waitrovich, Avlynn Solis, Micah and Jaden Babiash, Brent and Zoe LaBonte, Cain and Christian Giese; sisters Jean Grade and Marge Verkuilen; several nieces and nephews; and special friends Geri, Linda, AWOLS Ladies.

She was preceded in death by her brothers, Jack and Tom Grade and Ed Verkuilen; brothers-in-law Jim Bronczyk and Louis Pelligrini; and sisters-in-law Patricia Pellegrini and Shirley Grade.

Our family is very thankful for the excellent and loving care mom received from all of the staff at Maryhill Manor.
