Brigitte was born to a prominent family of statespersons during the German Occupation of Normandy, and grew up in the chaos and ruin of post-war France. She emigrated to the United States as an adult, teaching herself English by watching soap operas and sitcoms. One of her proudest achievements (outside of raising her children) was in receiving her US citizenship in 1991, and casting her first vote as an American Citizen. Brigitte was a devout Christian, with unshakable faith and a love for God that she instilled in her family at a young age. One of her favorite activities was in the reading and study of her Bible. She was a friend to all animals, having taken in countless dogs, cats, birds, raccoons and fish over the decades. Brigitte was a loving mother, wife, aunt, sister and grandmother, and her life and love will never be forgotten by her family and friends.
