Mary Sybil Brennecke-Rosales entered this world on February 12, 1957 in Bethel, North Carolina. She passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior in Palm Desert, California on October 29, 2021, due to a brain aneurysm.
Mary changed schools about every 3 to 5 years because her father was in the Coast Guard. She attended the first grade in Port Angeles, Washington, but the place she loved the most was Annette Island, Alaska. There she was rewarded for her excellent work with The Student of the Year plaque. Also, one of her teachers said she was the smartest kid in his classroom. Then after her dad and family moved to the Spokane Valley, Washington, she earned a BA in Teaching English as a second language. Mary then moved to Palm Desert, California to teach a night program for adults.
Mary was preceded in death by her beloved grandmothers, Ester Brennecke, Sadie Weathersbee and Frances Briley. She is survived by her mother and father Sybil and Ron Brennecke, brother Russell and her 2 nephews, Brandon and Taylor Brennecke.
