Marie Bross' Obituary
Marie Bross, 85, died peacefully on November 2, 2022 with her family by her side.
Marie was born December 5, 1936 in New York, the daughter of Prospero ‘Doc’ and Mary Nunno. She married James Bross on August 9, 1958.
Those who will miss Marie the most include her daughters Susan Prince, Marilyn Taylor (Johnny), Trish Payne (Keith), and Donna Bourne (Todd), her Grandsons Matthew Payne (Sarah), Michael Prince, Nick Paige, Taylor Bourne (Anna), Jonathan Payne, and Jake Bourne. Granddaughters: Carey Rose (Nate), Ellie Prince, Kristina Kelso (Clint), and Anna Bourne and her six Great Grand Children.
Anyone who knew Marie knows she loved her family and friends and especially loved taking care of people. One of her favorite traditions was hosting Sunday dinners, often home-made Italian food with the whole family and countless friends. Marie had a servant’s heart and touched many lives. She spent more than 20 years in social and bereavement ministries at The Church of the Holy Spirit. She loved her church and served it well.
Marie was deeply loved and will be missed by many. However, she was anxious to be with her God and reunite with the love of her life, Jim. They are finally together dancing in Heaven.
A celebration of Marie’s life will be Saturday, November 5, 2022 @ 1pm @ The Church of the Holy Spirit, 2300 Hickory Crest Dr. Memphis, TN 38119. A reception will follow. Public Visitation will be from 12-1 at the church.
Marie left a gift posthumously which her daughters would like to share…
“My death is bittersweet. I am so anxious to be with my God. I believe I will again see my husband. But the bitter part is leaving my daughters and all their love and joy they have given me.”
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Church of The Holy Spirit Social Ministry.
