She was a dedicated and loving wife to her late husband, Fred Brazeau, and a devoted mother to her seven children, eleven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Marcine Brazeau lived a fulfilling life and was a woman of many talents. She had a passion for cooking, crocheting, knitting, and doing word searches. She loved to cook and bake for family and friends using old recipes from her French and Polish heritage. Marcine was devoted to our Lord and her church.
