Marlys Veronica Schugel was born Feb. 12, 1932, to Leo and Elizabeth (Arnoldi) Schugel in New Ulm. She graduated from Holy Trinity Catholic School in New Ulm. Marlys was united in marriage to Harold Brandel on Feb. 19, 1952, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in New Ulm. After marriage they farmed in Milford Township and Cottonwood Township. They moved to New Ulm in 1962, when Marlys was employed at Holm Industries for 33 years until she retired in 1997. She was a member of the St. Elizabeth Society, Christian Mothers and Cathedral of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Marlys enjoyed sewing, embroidering, quilt making and other crafts, but above all else she loved to spend time with her family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Blessed be her memory.
