Germaine M (Glomski) Brege

Germaine M. Brege, age 84, of St Helen passed away on Sunday April 20, 2025 at home
surrounded by her loving family.

Germaine was born on September 20, 1940 in Posen, Michigan to Victor and Emily (Witucki) Glomski. She married Herbert P. Brege on July 6, 1957 in Posen, Michigan and they had 64 years together before his passing on April 28, 2022. Germaine had many jobs in her younger years working at various nursing homes and doing private in home care for the elderly until an injury led to an early retirement. Germaine then took on one of her best roles of helping care for her grandchildren and the rest of her family.

Her faith was very important to her and while her children were younger, she taught CCD classes at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Swartz Creek. In her later years, as a member at St Francis de Sales Parish in Bridgeport, she enjoyed baking for the church’s bake sales and making food for funeral dinners. She was currently attending St Helen Catholic Church. Germaine enjoyed baking, cooking, crocheting, sending out cards to her friends and family and doing crafts with her children, grandchildren and later her great grandchildren. She loved being outdoors and loved flowers and gardening. She especially enjoyed the time she spent with her family. They were her pride and joy. 

Germaine is survived by her children; Susan (Darwin) Brewer of Millington, Beverly (Rick) Riniolo of Florida, Carol (Edward Taylor) Brege of St. Helen, Randy Brege of Posen, Paul (Elaine) Brege of Florida and Terry Brege of Sault Ste. Marie, eleven grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren and one more coming in October and sister Katherine Bruning; plus, many other family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, brother Victor Glomski Jr, daughter-in-law Patty Brege and grandson Anthony Brewer.
