Mary Breunig

1916 - 2004

 

 

Mary L. Breunig, 88, of 1412 Oconomowoc Ave., Watertown, died March 16, 2004, at her home.

 

A Mass of Christian burial was held at St. Henry’s with the Rev. Bernard Rott officiating. Burial was in St. Henry’s Cemetery.

 

The former Mary Lutovsky was born Jan. 14, 1916, in Watertown, daughter of John and Mary (Broz) Lutovsky. On Aug. 10, 1946, she married Leo Frank Breunig at St. Henry’s.

 

Mary attended St. Henry’s Catholic School, Watertown High School and Mount Mary College, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in social work. She received a master's degree in social work at the Catholic University of America. She had been employed as a social worker and probation officer.

 

Mary was a member of St. Henry’s, past president of St. Henry’s Catholic Women's Club and Christian Mother's Society, and St. Henry’s Home and School Association. She had been a religious education teacher, a St. Henry’s Cub Scout den mother, member of AARP and participated in the Meals on Wheels program.

 

Mary will always be remembered as a devoted, loving and wonderful wife, mother and friend. She was affectionately called "Ma" by her children's friends that frequented her house. There was always room at dinner for one more. Her favorite things to do were spending time with her children, grandchildren, traveling, gardening and knitting mittens for St. Vincent de Paul. Her vast knowledge on the history of Watertown and her helpful gardening tips will be missed by many.
