always was proud of her German heritage. She lived in NYC until she married Willi Bruderek.

Christine and Margaret. In 1977, the family relocated & settled to Toms River, NJ,

During those years in Ocean County, she worked as a Home Health Aid and loved helping the

elderly. She was an avid exerciser and swimmer at Ocean County YMCA for 30 years. She

belonged to the Lakewood Maennerchor, a division of the German American club for 47 years,

loved dancing & singing to her German music. She attended church at Holy Cross Lutheran. She
