Mrs. Brenda Marie Putze (nee: Rozek)

Brenda Marie Putze (nee: Rozek) age 59 of Waterford, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on January 15, 2023. Brenda was born to William (Bill) and Nobuko Rozek (nee: Ushida) on November 12, 1963 in Milwaukee WI. Brenda grew up in the Mukwonago area before graduating from Mukwonago High School and continued her education at Gateway Technical College and graduated with an Associates degree in Business Administration. Brenda found the love of her life in Robert Alfred Putze (Bob) and after their engagement would be married on July 12, 1992 and would continue their life together in Waterford WI. Brenda found her dream job as an Associate to the Dean of Health Sciences and Campus Affairs of Gateway Technical College, which she enjoyed and excelled in her role for many years. Brenda was very fond of dogs and there was always a dog in her life in some way, shape or form. Brenda was also a big fan of our Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers and let’s not leave out her beloved Hallmark Channel! Brenda’s family always came first no matter what was going on in her life. She treasured her family—she was always there for them and her friends as well--to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to lean or cry on or to give tell it like it is no nonsense advice. Her sense of humor was beyond measure and her smile could light up a room. She will be missed tremendously by all whose life she touched.
Brenda is survived by her loving husband-Bob Putze, Son-Joe Putze and sister-Jackie Rozek, nephews-Michael McGraw and Skyler Wright and niece-Kayty Badciong (nee: Wright) and other relatives and many friends.
Brenda is preceded in death by her parents-Bill and Nobuko and sister-Debie Wright (nee: Rozek)
A memorial celebration for Brenda will be held on February 17, 2023, from 6-9pm at: Integrity Celebrations Center, 2789 Browns Lake Dr, Burlington WI 53105.
