Brigitte Ursula McKinney (Jung)

Brigitte (Jung/Wahler) McKinney was born to the union of Ida and Ludwig Jung in Eschenau (Rheinland Pfalz), Germany on August 8, 1945. In her early years, Brigitte attending high school, went on afterwards to complete a Business School Degree. As a long time Naturalized Citizen of the United States of America and proud Military Spouse (Retired), Brigitte was loved by all with her endearing personality and warming heart. On February 22, 2025, Our Creator God gently closed her loving eyes and whispered, "Peace Be Thine".

Brigitte left a legacy of love to her husband, Todd S. McKinney; sisters: Edith, Marionne, Irene (who preceded her in her death), and Erika; daughters, Tonya and Ilona (who preceded her in her death); three grandsons; eight nieces: Ramona, Sigrid, Natascha, Marion, Ingrid (who preceded her in her death), two Michelle's, and Chantal; five nephews: Uber (who preceded her in her death), Klaus, Andreas, and two named Mishael; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins (including Ilse), and friends.

A woman with deep commitment and strong character. A beacon of hope with a drive to accomplish her goals. She strove hard to maintain her household with concentrated effort and love. Your husband will miss and continue to love YOU deeply!

You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly — that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp. — Anne Lamott
