Marcia E. Brennan (nee Heins) age 88 of Wayne died, peacefully with the comfort of her daughter by her side, on Monday, April 11, 2011.
She was born in Louisville, Kentucky and lived in Orange, NJ for fifty-nine years before moving to Wayne five years ago.
She met the love of her life, James Brennan, while he was serving in the US Military at Fort Knox, Kentucky. She worked as a hostess at the base and they soon fell in love. Marcia moved to Orange, NJ and lived across the street from James at his brother Robert and his wife Ruth’s home until they wed. They married on February 22, 1946 in Orange, NJ and enjoyed nineteen years of loving marriage until his passing in 1965.
Marcia is remembered as a great story teller who had a great sense of humor and was often the life of a party. She was widowed at the age of forty-two, and lost both of her sons three months apart in 2007. She loved old black & white movies and 1940’s music and enjoyed doing crossword puzzles with her granddaughter Dana Lynn.
She was the loving wife of the late James Brennan(1965); loving mother of Linda Brennan-Bielecki and her husband Tom of Wayne, the late Terrence Brennan(2007) and his wife Maureen and the late Dwight Brennan(2007) and his wife Diane; cherished grandmother of James Brennan, Kristen Adams, Derek Brennan, and Dana Lynn Bielecki; much loved great-grandmother of Ray and Jack Adams; much loved sister-in-law of Winifred Reilly of Chatham and Loretta Landers of West Orange; dear aunt to many loving nieces and nephews.
