Brigitte's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Brigitte here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

I didn't know Bregetta had passed until today.....My first memory is 3rd grade, Columbus School in Benton Harbor. We had a teacher who could speak German and was able to converse with Bregetta. I was always amazed that Bregetta was learning fluent English as the teacher was translating everything for her. What ever we were learning, she had to learn in TWO languages. I've never forgotten thinking how difficult that must have been for her. I also remember being at the Noll's family home. It always smelled like wonderful baked goods and there was always German music playing on their record player. Mrs Noll made the first German Chocolate cake we ever tasted. She shared the recipe with my mom and it became a favorite at our house. I also remember when Bregetta went to the Patricia Stevens School of Modeling and Charm, and those of us who knew what that was, thought how lucky she was to have that opportunity. We knew each other for a long time..... I know she loved all of you very much

Forty+ years of a good friendship is hard to find. We shared sunsets, cookouts, family gatherings, trips, marble games, tough and happy times. Brigitte made the best cheesecake and knew how put together an elegant party like no other. She was a strong woman in faith and family. Nana was proud of her grandchildren and children... always sharing their accomplishments. Even though this last year was very trying, she was blessed with support and comfort from her loving family. Brigitte is missed and will always be remembered by the Nelson family.

Dear Dave and family, it was a shock to hear of Brigitte's death, so sorry. Bruno and I extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this most difficult time. Brigitte was a beautiful women inside and out, always smiling and caring. She will be dearly missed by all, she loved her family. The Noll family, as well as you Dave, were very much part of the Kickers Sport Club, especially in the early years. Kickers have lost another dear member and due to the pandemic the club cannot give her the farewell she so well deserved. We grieve with you and remember the good times. May you find comfort in the great memories and wonderful times you shared. May God watch over you.

David and family, I was very sorry to hear of Bridgette’s passing Heaven gained a beautiful angel. We had many hours of laughter in the “LadyBug Club “ back when all of my girls we growing up. She was always so warm and made me always feel welcome to family events and always wore a smile. Hold tight to the wonderful memories you store in your hearts to bring you comfort in times ahead . She lives on in the eyes of a grandson ,the smile or laugh of a granddaughter and in the heart of all that knew her. Beth Litke
