Grace Brzeski passed away on November 5, 2026 in Milwaukee at the age of 94.

Grace was born in Milwaukee on April 6, 1932. She married her husband, Carl, on July 2, 1955. She was preceded in death by Carl, her brother, Alexander Muza III, and parents, Alexander Jr. and Angeline Muza.

Grace’s talents were multifold and she pursued an array of professions over the course of her career. For many years, she served as a teachers’ aide at Trowbridge Elementary School in Bayview, where her children were students. She also held a variety of roles at American Appraisal, including executive secretary.

Grace generously shared her creative aptitude with her family and friends. Along with Carl, she masterfully approached home improvement projects in the homes they shared in Bayview and cottage in East Troy. Grace’s home garden was a beautiful testament to her green thumb. Her love for sewing and other crafts was proudly displayed in the clothing and home goods she made for her loved ones. She was a wonderful cook and baker who enjoyed hosting holidays and family gatherings. Grace’s garden, craft room and kitchen were welcoming spaces in which she passed down many of her favorite activities to her grandchildren through patient lessons.

Grace was a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and is greatly missed. Her loved ones fondly remember her resilience, positivity, commitment to family and ability to make every person in her life feel uniquely special.

Per Grace’s request, no services will be held. Family will gather at a later time.
