Marie Pierre (nee Wayne) Brady, age 78, passed away November 11, 2021. Marie was born April 3, 1943, in Detroit, to the late Evelyn and Peter Wayne. She graduated from Marygrove College prior to attending Wayne State University for her Master's degree. She taught in the Grosse Pointe Public Schools at Ferry School, then later served as a long term substitute in the Grosse Pointe school system well into her 70s. She was well-regarded for her proficiency as a substitute math teacher and tutor, and teaching was a true passion. Mostly she was known for her warm smile, kindness and concern for others, and positive outlook while demonstrating perseverance. Marie had a lust for life; no one had a fuller dance card. In addition to the joy of engaging in all manner of social activities, she enjoyed golf, skiing, tennis, walking, water aerobics and gardening. She was an avid reader and film enthusiast, enjoying a wide range of genres. With a generous and giving spirit, Marie extensively volunteered her time with many local organizations, notably including Tau Beta, Junior League, and the Fontbonne Auxiliary at Ascension St. John Hospital, and served as the President of the Board of Trustees of her beloved Grosse Pointe Academy. Marie loved to play bridge and mah-jong with her dear friends, which also involved much conversation and many laughs. She was a member of Questers, an active parishioner of Our Lady Star of the Sea, and loved to travel. Highlights included trips to China, the Holy Land, Europe, and family vacations in Harbor Beach and Harbor Springs, MI. More than anything Marie enjoyed spending time with her family, and was particularly proud of her eight grandchildren, never missing opportunities to be with them, and certainly to show them off. Cherished wife of the late Edmund M. Brady, Jr., daughter of her late parents Peter H. and Evelyn Wayne. Beloved mother of Edmund III (Holly), Meghan, Timothy (Michelle), and the late Katie Brady. Proud "Bapa" and Grandma of Blake, Brady, and Hayden Hishmeh; Alex, Henry, and Franny Brady; and Parker and Blair Brady. Loving sister of Peter H. Wayne, III. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Tuesday, November 23, at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church, 467 Fairford, Grosse Pointe Woods. Visitation begins at 9 a.m. at the church. The service will be live streamed on Our Lady Star of the Sea's website, OLSOS.org.
