SMITH, RENABEL [SRGP 83310] Mrs. Merrill Brodrick, 28, died at the Arnot Ogden Hospital on January 28, after a severe illness which lasted several weeks. Before her marriage, Mrs. Brodrick was Renabel Smith, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith of 111 St. James Street. She married Merrill Brodrick on Feb. 5, 1933. She was graduated with honors from both the high school in 1927 and from the Mansfield State Teachers College in 1930. She was an outstanding basketball star while in high school and a basketball coach of unusual ability during her teaching period at the high school. She taught school for four years in the Mansfield Senior High School and was an extraordinarily successful teacher because she was loved and respected by her pupils. Mrs. Brodrick was an active and enthusiastic member of the Methodist Church and of the Utopian Literary Club. Her membership in any organization meant a definite and forceful interest on her part. Any task which was assigned to her was done thoroughly, competently and willingly. For this she was noted. She had the unusual ability of excelling in any duty which she performed. She is survived by her husband, two children, Marjory Jean and Robert Merrill; and her parents. A prayer service was held at the home of her parents Monday at 2:30 p.m. after which a service was held at the Methodist Church. The Rev. Charles H. Ouderkirk of the Mansfield Methodist Church officiated. Burial was in Prospect Cemetery. Card of Thanks The family of Mrs. Renabel Brodrick wish to express their appreciation for the kind expressions of sympathy extended to them by the people of the community during their recent bereavement. |
