Marion Bruning Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Marion G. Bruning on December 17, 2023. Born on May 15, 1938, in Alabama, NY, Marion was an embodiment of strength, determination, and immense love for her family.

As a dedicated farmer, she spent her days tending to the land and nurturing the earth in Akron, New York. Her work in agriculture was not just her livelihood, it was a testament to her unwavering spirit and a reflection of her deep-rooted connection to the soil she so cherished. Marion was a woman of many interests. She found joy in the simplest of things, like the strategic thrill of a Euchre game or the intellectual challenge of a Sudoku or crossword puzzle. Above all, Marion was a beloved family member. Never married, she chose to pour her love into her extended family, taking immense pride in being an aunt to several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. Her love for her family was boundless and she was a constant source of strength and support. Marion is survived by her sister-in-law, Janice Bruning, and joins her parents, Carl and Grace Bruning and brother, Harold Bruning in eternal rest.

Services to be held at a later date.
