October 12, 1939 - May 11, 2019
Marie passed peacefully with her family present after a long illness. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Edward R. Brindza and her children, Katherine B. Schrader, Marc A. Brindza, and Susan A. Brindza, son-in-law Dr. Lawrence F. Schrader, daughter-in-law Marlene M. Brindza, and grandchildren Davis Childers, Callie Childers and Griffin Childers.
Marie's greatest joy was being a mother and homemaker, and her grandchildren adored their "Grandy". She was the only child of parents Angelo and Katherine Baiunco, who immigrated from Sicily. Marie started her own business in Philadelphia's Mainline and became successful and well known for her unique style of gourmet cheesecake. She will be missed by many friends and family, and all whom met her. Her family is very grateful that God chose them to be her family.
