October 5, 2026

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Jennifer Brandle, at the age of 54 on October 5, 2026.

Jen was one of those rare people whose strength often spoke louder than words. She faced more than most ever knew, yet carried herself with courage, determination and a toughness that seemed endless. She never wanted to be defined by illness, and instead will be remembered for the person she was — strong, independent, loving, and deeply devoted to the people who meant the most to her.

Jen shared her life with her longtime partner of 38 years, Wally Latinski, and was the proud and loving mother of Jessica (Dylan) Latinski and Tyler (Grace) Latinski. Her children were an enormous part of her heart, and the love she had for them was immeasurable.

She was the cherished daughter of Josie Brandle and the late Gary Brandle, and daughter-in-law of Pauline Latinski and the late Wally Latinski.

Jen will be forever missed by her sister Sherry (Leigh), her sister-in-law Kim (Darrell), and her much-loved nieces and nephew Breanna, Lauren, Jaden and Kyah. She was also a very proud and loving great-aunt to Grayson and Cohen.

To those who loved her, Jen was so much more than words can ever capture. Her life was far too short, and her absence will be felt in countless little moments for years to come, but the love she gave and the memories she leaves behind will always remain.

Our family will always be grateful to Dr. Heather Roelfsema for the care and dedication she gave Jen throughout the years, and to McNally House Hospice for the constant compassion and kindness shown to Jen and her family in her final days.

Cremation has taken place.
