A courageous and fulfilling life brought Marie from her birth place of Czechoslovakia to England by a courageous trek thru the Alps and all thru Europe to escape the hostile takeover of her country by Germany, then Russia at age 21. There she met and married Carl Kent (also a Czech Refugee who made his way to England). They immigrated to the United States after 5 years in England. Unfortunately their time together now as citizens of the United States was short. Carl passed away at 47 and Marie became a widow at 42.

She got a second chance at love at 45 and remarried Albert Brandly. They traveled the world together but Marie was widowed again at 65. The two loves of her life had preceded her in death.

Marie was selfless always putting family and friends first in the United States, Czech Republic and England. She will be missed by many but her life was well lived and full of love. She was complete and ready to reconnect with family and friends who had preceded her in death. Marie passed peacefully and joyfully. She did get to see almost all of the faces she had loved the day before she left this world. It was a perfect ending to a wonderful life.
