Mabel C. (Murray) Nuttall Brenner, age 106, of Fairfield, the matriarch of the family, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 26, 2022. Born in Bridgeport, Mrs. Brenner was a lifelong Fairfield resident. Prior to her retirement, she was an inspector with Fairfield Plastics.

Mrs. Brenner was a true family matriarch. She loved her family and could always be found baking and working around her home. She was a very independent woman and preferred to do things herself rather than relying on someone else. She loved to garden and had an appreciation for flowers.

She was predeceased by her first husband, Harold Gordon Nuttall; her second husband, Alfred L. Brenner; her sons, Robert J. Nuttall and Mark David Brenner; one great-grandchild, and 11 brothers and sisters.

Friends were invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on March 3, 2022, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. Interment followed in Lawncroft Cemetery.
