Miss Brodrick was an incedably friendly and kind woman. She had 5 kids that i'm sure tested her patience as me and my 5 brothers tested my mother's patience. My mom told my wife Lisa years after we were married that she felt like a slave most of her life but like Miss Brodrick she always had a smile for you. She will be missed by her friends and family!

Fond memories of Gwen

I’m sorry to say I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Brodrick personally but enjoyed the stories Gail would tell of her beloved mother.

I have no doubt as to her fine character and skill as a parent judging from her amazing daughter, Gail.

Gail is one of the finest people I know. She is extremely efficient, caring and generous. One rarely sees such an admirable work ethic. I’m sure the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

It is never a good time to lose a mother. Our deepest sympathies to the family

I can't remember the first time we met as I was only about two, but remember the second time in the 1980s when Auntie Gwen came over following a period of poor health. She used to "scream" in protest at the "bad language" in the rugby songs on an LP that my Dad used to play and everyone would fall about laughing. She had a good sense of humour which got her through a lot.
We had many chats long distance and she was a good listener, with strong but fair opinions! I'll miss them and the sage advice..
The last few years were increasing tiring for her and I was always amazed at how she got herself to where she needed to go three times a week (with a little help from Andrew as it turns out!!!). Now she can have a well deserved rest, but will be missed.
God speed.
