Jean Brady
On February 20, 2025, Jean E. Brady, long-time resident of Cold Spring NY, peacefully entered eternal rest at the age of 85 with her family by her side. Jean more recently moved to Saugerties, NY to be closer to her family.
Born on June 2, 1939, in New York, NY, Jean was the eldest daughter to the late Walter K. and Mary (Alesi) Schmager.
Jean’s sisters, Tina Merando and Francis Thorbjornsen survive while Jean was predeceased by her brothers Phillip and Walter Jr. Jean was also predeceased by her best friend and confidant Helen Corso.
On February 10, 1957, Jean married her high school sweetheart, Brian M. Brady who passed in 2015. With young children in tow, on weekends and with the help of their best friends (Joe and Helen), Jean and Brian built their home together in Cold Spring, New York, where they raised their five children, Kevin, Dennis, Terry, Joanne and Stephen. Jean is also predeceased by her daughter, Joanne (1990).
Early on, Jean was most proud to raise her 5 children as a stay-at-home Mom until she joined the team at Hudson Highlands Veterinary Hospital where she ultimately became Hospital Administrator, a position she held until her retirement.
Jean and Brian shared many years of love and interests together - from gardening to fishing to painting and the Culinary Arts. Jean thoroughly enjoyed seeing her interests shine through her 16 grandchildren. Jean was also blessed with 7 great grandchildren!! Family was always the most important to Jean.
