Bruna Vance, age 86, passed away in Houston, Texas on June 16, 2022. She was born in Trieste, Italy on May 29, 1936 and lived in many places throughout Europe until she met the love of her life, John Vance, while working in Germany; and he whisked her away to the home that they shared for nearly 40 years in Wetumpka, Alabama.
Bruna was a kind, generous, and thoughtful woman. She never let a holiday or birthday go by without a card, a gift, or a phone call – sometimes all three! She loved to spend time outside walking or gardening, or sitting and chatting over dessert. She was a wonderful cook with the best cheesecake recipe; and she was always willing to feed anyone who came to her house, including all the stray cats in the neighborhood. She enjoyed listening to classical music records with her husband, John. She especially loved operas and would always sing along. She was part of the Association Francaise of Montgomery for many years and shared many laughs with the friends she made there.
Bruna is preceded in death by her mother Marta Martinelli, her husband John Vance, her daughter Eleonore and son in-law Scot Orgish. She is survived by her granddaughters Amy and Zoe Orgish.
A funeral mass service for Bruna will be held Wednesday, June 29, 2022 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Saint Bede Catholic Church, 3870 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, Alabama 36109
