\"\"On February 17, 2021, Mary Catherine Bromwell<\/strong>, loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully at age 97.<\/p>\n

On July 12, 1923, Mary was born to Stephen and Emma Muth in Philadelphia, PA. \u00a0She married James A. Bromwell on May 6, 1944. \u00a0Most of their married life they resided in Ottsville, PA, members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, where they raised four children.<\/p>\n

Mary had to leave school after the eighth grade to support her family farm during the Depression. \u00a0She developed a strong work ethic. Mary was a doer and a helper. \u00a0During WWII she left the family farm to work in Philadelphia at the Naval Shipyard where she welded on several ships including the Battleship New Jersey. \u00a0Mary went back to school in her forties and became a Licensed Practical Nurse and began a career in nursing at Doylestown Hospital. \u00a0She ended her career in the Nursery on the Maternity Floor where she lovingly cared for newborns.<\/p>\n

Being kind and generous, Mary loved spending time with her family and friends. \u00a0A few of her favorite pastimes included travel, playing pinochle, gardening, walking through the woods, sitting on the porch, day trips to the beach, and eating pie.<\/p>\n

She was predeceased by her parents; her husband Jim; and her two sisters, Vera Pursell and Anna Scheetz McCarty. \u00a0She was also predeceased by her lifelong friend of eighty plus years, Gladys Proca.<\/p>\n

Mary is survived by her children James (Anna) Bromwell, John (Charlene) Bromwell, Mary (Ed) Schaible, and Patricia (James) Housworth. \u00a0She is also survived by her grandchildren James J. (Tracy) Bromwell, Kristine Koehler, James (Julie) DeSousa, John Patrick Bromwell, Cory Treadway, Leonard Treadway, James (Stacy) Housworth, Zack (Ally) Housworth, and Alex (Kristen) Housworth. \u00a0Also surviving are her great-grandchildren, Heather DeSousa, John Koehler, Megan, Colin, and Rheanna Bromwell, Logan and Aiden Treadway, and Joseph Housworth. \u00a0Mary leaves behind special nieces and nephews along with dear friends.<\/p>\n

At Mary\u2019s request there will be no prior calling hours.\u00a0 A Celebration of Mary\u2019s Life will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY.<\/strong><\/p>\n
