Obituaries

Born in Centerville, CA to Arnt R. Gronley and Petra Gronley of Norway.

She is survived by her loving children Patty Brask-Herren of Centerville, and Wayne E. Brask of Centerville, her grandchildren Sean, Petra, Jared, Heather, Gwen, and Alex, and her great-grandchildren Ryan and Ellie, as well as many nephews and nieces who loved her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ed Brask, her daughter Sandy, and all her siblings: Paulie, Judy, John, Lorry, and Karen.

Mom took great pride in being a graduate of Washington Union High School where she was a top tennis player. She and dad would tease each other about him being a grad of Amador of Pleasanton and a Swede and she was Norwegian. As we all were Washington grads, dad was outnumbered.

The most important things in mom's life were God, her family, and the Centerville Presbyterian Church. She was also a devoted patriot, and loved this country.

She is a treasure to us and is missed.
