Anne Elizabeth Parsons Brotemarkle Puspoki (aka Mrs. B, Mrs. Puspoki, Anne, Poki, Mom, Grand-mom, and Great Grand-mom) who was the light in the lives of many, transitioned on January 4th, 2023.
Her warmth, compassion and capacity to love and care for others in her life were her gift to the world. She was the wife, mother, grand-mother, great grand-mother, great-great grand-mother, friend and devoted member of The First Church of Christ Scientist in Milford, Delaware. Born in Salisbury, Maryland, an only child of Purnell and Clara Parsons. She married Jon Brotemarkle in December 1952 and moved to Delaware in 1969 where she and Jon owed Captain Jon Paul's Restaurant in Milford, Delaware until 1976. After their divorce she moved to Dover and Smyrna Delaware, being a waitress at Denny's and Kirby and Holloway Restaurants. She was married to Louis Puspoki in 1979 until his passing. She retired from the Modern Maturity Center in Dover but kept busy volunteering for 'Community Action of Delaware' caring for others in need of companionship and 'Read Aloud Delaware' reading to pre-schoolers.
She is survived by her daughters, Doris Skye (Bob) of Port Richmond, CA, Joyce Stone of Chevy Chase, MD, Joann Murray (Don) of Dover, DE, Karen Clothier (Bruce) of Sebastian, FL, Doreen Rice of Salisbury, MD; nine grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, three great great grandchildren, friends far and wide and all members of The Christian Science Church.
