Marie Stainbrook

Marie Stainbrook of Meadville, PA, passed away Dec. 5, following an ongoing illness.  She was 97.

Marie was born Nov. 4, 1925, in Meadville to Marie and James Feehan.  Marie attended St. Brigid’s Grade School and graduated from Meadville High School in 1944.  She married Norbert Stainbrook on June 14, 1947, and they were happily married for 75 years.

Marie was a homemaker for many years raising their two children with her husband, and, due to his work as a mechanical engineer, they lived in many locations, including Coco Beach FL, Huntsville, AL, Itasca, IL, Emmaus, PA, and Bellevue, WA.  Later in life, the family returned to Meadville where Marie joined the staff of Wesbury United Methodist Community as a Receptionist.  She retired from there after 22 years.

Marie was a lifelong member of St. Brigid’s Roman Catholic Church, and later a member of St. Vincent DePaul Parish in Salt Lake City.  She is a former member of the Kon Yacht Kickers Square Dance Club.  She and her husband enjoyed traveling together and had attended many Elderhostel Programs throughout the US.

She is survived by her husband Norbert and her daughter Noreen Mullen and her husband Joel of Salt Lake City and son Michael Stainbrook and his companion Karin McCullough of Petersburg, AK.  She is also survived by her granddaughter Sarah Mullen and husband Christian Van Wagoner, and grandson Lucas Mullen and his wife Hillary. 

She is also survived by her two nieces and their families:  Linda Williams and husband Bill Ericsson and their daughter Kate and her husband Chris Mauro, Philadelphia, and Candace Williams and companion Mitchell Goeman of Gunnison CO, as well as other nieces and nephews.  Marie is also survived by six great grandchildren.

Marie was preceded in death by her parents Marie and James Feehan, her step father William Elwell, her brother Jack Feehan and his wife Audine, niece Diane McDonald and three nephews: Mark Feehan, Greg Zimmerman and David Williams.

She and her husband Norbert spent the last seven years in Salt Lake City at the Highland Cove Retirement Community and later briefly at The Wellington, an assisted living facility.  The family wishes to thank those who cared for her.  We also want to thank Dr. Rahimi at St. Mark’s Senior Center, and Chelsea of Tender Care Hospice.
